Marketing/Company Information

Subtitle: - Partnership with Solar Energy Australia
- High-performance Sunways solar inverters in all device classes

Konstanz (euro adhoc) - Konstanz/Germany, 24 May 2012 - Sunways AG
(SWW:GR, SWWG.DE, ISIN DE0007332207) has formed a partnership with
Solar Energy Australia (SEA). SEA is now the exclusive distributor of
Sunways solar inverters in Australia and, within the scope of this
partnership, will also provide the customer service for these
devices. This move means that photovoltaic specialist Sunways, a
leading solar technology company based in Konstanz, is actively
present with its products on the Australian market for the first
time. Australia is an international emerging market for photovoltaics
with long-term growth potential.

Comprising the AT, NT and PT device series, the agreement with Solar
Energy Australia covers the entire Sunways product range for solar
inverters. From smaller on-roof systems for private use through to
large-scale commercial plants, Sunways has the right device for
virtually any application in the form of its award-winning inverters.
Patented HERIC® high-efficiency topology and three independent MPP
trackers per device ensure maximum efficiency and therefore top
electricity yields. An extensive range of communication options and a
convenient graphical display mean that both commissioning and
operation are user-friendly. The first Sunways solar inverters were
certified for Australia last year and any certification still pending
will be concluded in May 2012.

Thanks to this new partnership, Sunways has positioned itself in an
important international emerging market. Conditions for harnessing
solar power in Australia are not only excellent because of the
country's sunny climate all year round. The Australian photovoltaic
market has experienced steady growth in recent years which, according
to experts, will also continue in the future: With a projected annual
growth rate of 13 to 15 percent, the country is an ideal candidate
for market entry (sources: Bank Sarasin, 2011; Australian PV
Association, 2011).

is based in Sydney/New South Wales, is one of the leading providers
of solar power inverters in Australia. The wholesale photovoltaic
specialist was founded in the mid-1990s and has since become part of
