The giant awakens to solar power while America aleeps -- Evolution Solar grows roots in China

PHOENIX, USA: While the US is still floundering with ad-hoc investments in clean energy, China has developed a straight-forward, no-nonsense approach to reaching 2GW solar capacity by 2011.

It is gaining strong leadership in the solar industry by investing heavily in manufacturing and incentivizing installation. Chinese companies like, Suntech Power Holdings, (NYSE: STP) have succeeded in driving solar panel price reductions over the last six months by selling panels on the US market below the marginal cost. Further, China is circumventing protectionist legislation by constructing assembly plants in the US.

Evolution Solar is setting down roots in China to take advantage of this shift in the center of gravity for the solar industry. In the last century, the United States was the home of most TV manufacturers. By the end of the century, there were none left in America. They were all in Asia!

The same is happening with solar energy and Evolution Solar Corp. (EVSO) has positioned itself to be a resource to the green energy revolution from its new base in China.

“China has made a commitment to solar and placed substantial funds behind that commitment,” stated Robert Kaapke, CEO of Evolution Solar. “Talking about change is very different form actually changing; we want to be part of real change and that is why we are setting down our roots where real change is taking place.”

Nearly all solar providers in America will source parts and components from China in the years ahead. EVSO expects to position itself to compete with producers, such as SunTech and Energy Conversion Devices for a part of this market.

Evolution Solar explores China opportunities

PHOENIX, USA: Evolution Solar Corp. has sent representatives to China to explore potential opportunities there and to consider strengthening the Company’s existing presence in China.

As the company has developed, it has become increasingly clear that China will be a leader in the development of new solar products (such as thin-film solar) and a major consumer as well.

EVSO seeks to convert relationships it has developed in China into a major component of its business strategy. This trip is aimed at establishing top level strategic relationships with solar companies in China and at evaluating possible locations for a new Chinese headquarters.

“We see growth coming both through acquisitions and through strategic relationships with leaders in the solar industry in China,” stated Robert Kaapke, CEO of Evolution Solar Corp. “The Company is entering an exciting new phase of development with these two new foundations for growth.”

EVSO expects to incorporate products produced by, Sun Power, First Solar, Trina Solar and LDK Solar Co. Ltd.

EVSO: Why solar wins!

PHOENIX, USA: According to Evolution Solar Corp., as America evolves from a petroleum economy to a green energy economy, investors seek to predict what industries will experience maximum growth.

As a solar consulting firm, EVSO sees strong market trends toward solar. Why will solar be a winning technology when others fail?

* The cost per kilowatt of solar panels is dropping dramatically with the introduction of thin film technology;
* Solar is the cleanest and quietest alternative energy technology available;
* Solar power can be installed as huge commercial power plants or on an individual home;
* It is the perfect distributed power technology.

“With prices dropping and efficiency rising, we see solar as the next big thing in alternative energy at a time when demand is being pushed hard by Congress and the Obama administration,” stated Robert Kaapke, CEO of Evolution Solar Corp. “We believe we are well positioned in an industry poised to experience explosive growth.”

Evolution Solar expects to benefit from growth within the solar industry along with competitors such as, Sun Power, First Solar, Trina Solar and LDK Solar.

EVSO: Texas launches $500 million solar subsidy

PHOENIX, USA: Evolution Solar Corp. said that the Texas Senate just approved one of the largest subsidy programs for solar power in the United States.

The program mandates a 60 percent increase in alternative energy from sources other than wind over the next five years. The program is likely to result in an additional 200-500 megawatts of solar power in the State of Texas. (There are currently 590 MW of solar power generated nationwide).

"The Texas legislature has made it clear that the State has put out the welcome mat for companies such as Evolution Solar who are committed to expanding solar capacity in the United States," stated Robert Kaapke, CEO of Evolution Solar Corp. “This new initiative will put Texas in the forefront of states that provide solar incentives and help make Texas the leader in solar power as it already is in wind generation.”

Texas is expected to attract solar manufactures with its new incentives as well as installations from companies such as SunTech and Energy Conversion Devices.
