OPEL Solar and OPEL Technologies has announced that it has completed delivery of 4.6 Megawatts ("MW") of its TF-850 market leading solar trackers to Global Energy Service U.S.A. ("GES"). This is OPEL's largest order in its history, furthering OPEL's sales progress. The trackers were chosen for two solar fields being built by GES in California. GES specializes in full service solar projects, providing engineering, site preparation and site construction.

The first field delivery was completed in September for a 2.32 MW installation in Palmdale, California; the second project is located at 29 Palms, California, and delivery of OPEL's trackers was completed recently for an additional 2.27 MW solar field. GES has been the EPC ('engineering, procurement, and construction") company for these two projects being developed by Gestamp Solar, a leading developer of utility scale solar projects headquartered in Madrid, Spain.

"OPEL Solar is experiencing increasing success with the TF-800 series of tracker products," said Leon M. Pierhal, CEO of OPEL Technologies Inc. "This is evidenced by GES and Gestamp choosing OPEL's tracking systems for these two large scale solar fields, making these orders the largest in our Company's history and strongly contributing to our revenue.

The strategy to emphasize our solar tracker line of products was discussed at the Annual General Meeting in June. Solar contractors and developers are using our market leading single axis tracker because it has a vast number of key unique features that enhance energy production and lower expense of solar fields."

In the single axis tracker market, OPEL will provide the TF-800 series of ground-mounted trackers that have proven to be very attractive commercially. This is because of the unique product features and ease of installation and their reverse tracking ability to avoid shadowing from adjacent trackers.

The versatility of the OPEL solar trackers allows the use of any solar panel technology currently being deployed on commercial and utility scale projects, making it solar panel indifferent and an ideal selection of most solar generation installations. The features of the TF-800 tracker also favorably impact the installation as well as the operation and maintenance system ("O and M") of a solar power plant.

This tracker can be assembled by two people using just basic hand tools. The wireless tracker network control technology incorporated into OPEL's TF-800 solar tracker product line helps lower the upfront construction costs while allowing tracker level monitoring.

A solar generation plant owner is able to monitor the solar field remotely, including modifying the position of any one or all of the trackers in an installation. This capability reduces installation costs and O and M expenses, increases efficiency and helps maintain optimal performance.
