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, and its Spanish partner, BETASOL, today celebrated the
completion of 330 kilowatts (kW) of its utility grade solar photovoltaic power
plant in Spain. OPEL Solar, Inc. is a subsidiary of OPEL International Inc. (TSX
VENTURE:OPL).


This utility grade solar farm is one of the first operable solar grid fields in
the world using OPEL's HCPV leading edge solar technology. It generates 330 kW
of electricity to the power grid, increasing revenue for BETASOL. The
installation is located in the Tarragona region of Spain, a prime location for
solar development.


OPEL Solar continues to highlight the benefits of its advanced technology by
hosting numerous customer visits to the solar farm. At the system site, visitors
have an opportunity to see OPEL's leading edge solar technology as a viable
source of solar electric power generation.


"The reaction of customers to OPEL's HCPV technology has been nothing but
positive," said Robert Pico, CEO of OPEL Solar, Inc. "HCPV delivers scalable
electric power to the grid, and visitors can witness this leap in solar
technology firsthand."


OPEL built the installation with its Mk-I high concentration panels (HCPVs)
mounted on dual axis trackers. The combination of OPEL's HCPV panels and
precision dual axis trackers results in a higher power production per unit of
land (acre/hectare) than silicon or thin film flat panels with a potential to
increase photovoltaic yields by up to 40 percent.
