SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - April 7, 2010) - Chromasun today announced the close of its first institutional funding round. The $3 million investment was led by Danish investor, VKR Holding. Co-investors include GoGreen Capital and two unnamed US investors. The investment will be used to fund the continued growth of Chromasun and market introduction of its innovative MCT solar collector for solar cooling applications.

Chromasun CEO Peter Le Lievre stated: "This is a world-class investment team that will provide Chromasun and its MCT product with significant support for our worldwide expansion plans. I am especially delighted given that these particular investors all understand Chromasun's market space intimately and share our passion for this most promising sector."

Jens Ove Albertsen from VKR Holding said: "Solar driven air-conditioning systems can dramatically reduce peak grid demand and significantly improve building environmental performance. Because of our investments in solar thermal, VKR has good insight into what many solar companies are doing to address cooling. It is with this perspective that I believe Chromasun is the company to watch in this space."
