Shelton, CT and Toronto, ON, December 21, 2009 – OPEL Solar, Inc., a leading global developer and supplier of high concentration photovoltaic (“HCPV”) and other solar products, including ground-based and rooftop tracker systems, today announced it has entered into an International Dealer Agreement with SOLYPAC Technology Co., Ltd. based in Seoul, South Korea. The Agreement makes available to SOLYPAC the complete OPEL Solar product line to supply utility scale projects. Especially important to this Agreement are the Mk-I HCPV panel and the array of single and dual axis trackers that, when used with the HCPV panels, have the potential to increase photovoltaic yields of solar farms by up to 40 percent.

“OPEL Solar is very pleased to have signed the Dealer Agreement with SOLYPAC,” said Frank Middleton, COO of OPEL Solar. “It expands our international reach to supply utility scale solar projects with OPEL’s advanced solar technology and the increased efficiency that concentration photovoltaics and tracking provides.”

“Our International Dealer Agreement with OPEL Solar is a highlight for SOLYPAC because its full product line opens the door to bring HCPV and PV panels installed on its tracker products to South Korean and other international market places in which we have active business proposals, including the United States,” said JK Kim, President and Chief Strategy and Marketing Officer of SOLYPAC Technology.

In addition to SOLYPAC offering OPEL Solar’s full product line of HCPV panels and trackers, OPEL will also provide technical support for the installed projects. OPEL Solar provides PV panels to be used with OPEL’s trackers to meet the needs of regions with low solar irradiance, generating more energy than fixed mounted installations.
