Subtitle: - LDK Solar chosen as an internationally leading company in
the sector - Partner produces solar modules based on Sunways quality
criteria

Konstanz (euro adhoc) - Konstanz, 13 October 2010 - Sunways AG (FWB:
SWW; ISIN DE0007332207) and LDK Solar Co., Ltd., Xinyu City, a global
leader in the photovoltaic industry, have agreed upon a cooperation
in the production of Sunways Solar Modules. As an additional partner,
LDK Solar is going to produce the modules using Sunways Solar Cells
based on Sunways quality criteria. This will enable Sunways to
utilise the cost benefits of a global division of labour while
ensuring the high product quality its clients are accustomed to. The
signed contract has a volume of 30 megawatts peak over an initial
period of one year. Both partners are aiming to extend the contract.

Michael Wilhelm, Chairman of the Management Board of Sunways AG,
explained the new cooperation: "The cooperation with LDK Solar opens
up new sales opportunities in the national and international markets
for us. The certified production ensures that the solar modules fully
meet our premium requirements. This expansion of our product
portfolio will strengthen Sunways' position in view of increasing
competition in the photovoltaic market."

With the extension of its product range Sunways responds to changing
requirements of its distribution partners. In addition to solar
modules produced in Germany, Sunways will be able to offer a further
brand product with the aim of strengthening the competitiveness of
its partners in the end-customer market. The cooperation with LDK
Solar follows Sunways' consistent focus on quality. The material list
was drawn up jointly, and continuous on-site inspections by Sunways
were agreed for the future. "Module production at LDK Solar is based
on state-of-the-art processes that meet western standards. All
certifications required, including an inspection on site, were passed
successfully with TÜV Rheinland. In this way we can offer our
customers the outstanding quality they expect from us," said Roland
Burkhardt, Chief Technology Officer of Sunways, who was closely
involved in the process. The first solar modules from this new
partnership will be available in the market within a few weeks.
