Skyline Solar Appoints Dr. Lars Podlowski to its Board of Directors

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. & MUNICH, Germany, May 26, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
SGFRF | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Skyline
Solar, a manufacturer of High Gain Solar (HGS) arrays for the
commercial, industrial, government and utility markets, today announced
the newest appointment to the Skyline Board of Directors, Dr. Lars
Podlowski. Dr. Podlowski has spent more than a decade in solar industry
technical and management roles, and is currently a Management Board
member and CTO at SOLON SE. He combines extensive technical expertise in
the implementation of large scale solar products, systems and plants
with an intimate knowledge of European markets, which will help Skyline
Solar as the company looks to expand globally into markets like Italy,
Spain, Greece, the Middle East and Africa.

As part of the company's move into international markets, Skyline CEO
Bob MacDonald and other Skyline executives will attend the Intersolar
Conference this week in Munich, Germany. Skyline Solar executives will
be available to introduce the newly launched company to potential
partners, customers and media attending the world's largest solar event
of 2009.

"Skyline Solar has gone from Series A funding to first installed PV
power plant in eight months. I have been impressed with Skyline's
progress and am excited to work with them as they transition to
manufacturing and deployment of large scale solar power plant
equipment," said Dr. Podlowski.

Skyline's
HGS architecture delivers ten times more energy per gram of silicon
versus traditional flat-panel systems in sunny locations and offers
industry-leading energy density. Skyline HGS arrays combine
industry-proven silicon cells, durable reflector materials and
single-axis tracking into a complete, easy-to-deploy system. Built
primarily out of commodity materials with globally available
manufacturing processes from the PV and automotive industries, Skyline
HGS simultaneously improves financial payback and scalability. As a
result, Skyline Solar believes the HGS architecture is the fastest path
to grid parity.

"Dr. Podlowski's executive experience leading technological innovation
for SOLON, one of Europe's largest solar module manufacturers and a
leading supplier of photovoltaic systems for large-scale solar power
plants, will be a great addition to the Skyline Solar leadership team,"
said Bob MacDonald, CEO of Skyline Solar. "We are elated to have him on
board as we develop our strategic position in the rapidly evolving solar
landscape, especially within the competitive European market. As we move
into full production of the Skyline HGS system later this year, we
expect Europe to be a major strategic market for the company as project
developers and financiers look for solutions that offer the performance
and durability of tracked silicon at a cost competitive with thin-film
solutions in sunny climates."

For nearly two decades, Dr. Podlowski has been integral in the
scientific development and innovation of solar modules and the
realization of large-scale solar plants throughout Europe, making Europe
the leader in solar power capacity. Today, he is CTO for a company that
has expanding business and supply chain operations in North America.
Prior to SOLON SE, Dr. Podlowski founded SolarWerk GmbH (Teltow) which
was acquired by SOLON SE in 1999.

On May 4, 2009, Skyline
announced the launch of the company and its HGS architecture after
achieving key product, financing and customer milestones.
