SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. and SHANGHAI, China, Aug. 16, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Worldwide Energy and Manufacturing USA, Inc.

Jimmy Wang, chairman and chief executive officer of Worldwide, stated: "We are excited to report another record revenue quarter, as well as strong financial results in our second fiscal quarter. Our success in penetrating the solar module market through our AmeriSolar brand is clearly showcased by the dramatic increase in solar revenues during the second quarter, and we also benefited from the effects of stabilizing market prices and a significant increase in demand over 2009 levels. Our manufacturing division experienced similarly strong growth this quarter, driven by an increase in order shipment volume. The Company enters the second half of 2010 with a record backlog, which currently stands in excess of $100 million. The brand new solar manufacturing and research facility in Nantong is completed, and we have high expectations for the plant's contribution to the Company's financial performance in the near future."
