Sustainable Energy's Parallel System Design Tapped for 250kW of New Solar Installations for Ontario Educational and Recreational Buildings

TORONTO, ONTARIO, Nov 2, 2010 (Marketwire via COMTEX News Network) --

Sustainable Energy Technologies Ltd (TSX VENTURE:STG) ("Sustainable Energy" or the "Company") Canada's solar inverter company, announced today that its SUNERGYTM inverters have been selected for solar PV systems totalling 250kW to be installed on two educational and recreational buildings in southern Ontario.

"Sustainable's parallel system design now makes the additional safety of low system operating voltages a viable and economic option for developers and property owners specifying solar PV systems for larger buildings. This is especially important for applications such as schools and recreational facilities, where we simply have a higher standard of care," said Michael Carten, Chief Executive Officer of Sustainable Energy.

The "parallel" option continues to gain momentum in rooftop applications for its flexibility, safety, and higher yield under real world conditions. Sustainable Energy has the only product in the market today which offers these benefits in the higher power ratings needed for larger public buildings, such as schools, hospitals and recreational centres, with the same cost and serviceability factor as conventional inverter products in the market.

Leading EPC firms and property owners alike are coming to appreciate the value of smaller inverters distributed on the roof over the larger high voltage "central" inverters in terms of improved life cycle costs, less downtime and better system availability, in addition to better power point tracking, all of which lead to a higher total return on investment for project owners.

Sustainable's SUNERGY inverters deliver these advantages with all the leading modules in the market today.

For competitive and customer confidentiality reasons, the Company does not disclose the value of the contracts or the customer.

About Sustainable Energy: Sustainable Energy (www.sustainableenergy.com) is Canada's solar inverter company. The Company's patented inverter technologies are a breakthrough in power inverter design and capabilities for all forms of distributed generation and smart grid applications.

The SUNERGYTM inverter is the industry's only grid-interactive solar inverter which enables a "parallel" solar PV system architecture in higher power ratings with a cost and serviceability factor that is comparable to conventional inverters in the market. The benefits of parallel solar are: (i) 5% - 25% higher total system power output; (ii) a better fill factor enabling better coverage of available space; (iii) simplified system design and installation; and (iv) the safety of extra low operating voltages which ensures the safety of building maintenance personnel, first responders, and tradesmen who may accidentally come into contact with system wiring.

Sustainable Energy's technologies are the subject of multiple patents issued by and pending with the Canadian and US Patent Offices
