Sustainable Energy Extends Distribution Network in Southern Ontario with Envirolink MDM Inc

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - March 8, 2011) - Sustainable Energy Technologies Ltd (TSX VENTURE:STG) ("Sustainable Energy" or the "Company") Canada's solar inverter company, announced today that Envirolink MDM, (www.envirolinkmdm.com) a national distributor of safe efficient environmental products, will begin distributing SUNERGY_TM inverters through its extensive network of dealers and OEM partners in Southern Ontario.

The SUNERGY_TM inverters will power a new series of turnkey solar PV solutions being introduced by Envirolink for projects ranging from ground mounted trackers to rooftop systems, awnings and facades. Envirolink has committed to take a minimum one megawatt (1MW) with first deliveries scheduled for this month.

"We are seeing significantly increased interest among our customers for the value of parallel solar," said Roderick Butler President & CEO of Envirolink. "The SUNERGY_TM product is the only inverter that can deliver that value at the same cost as conventional inverters. It is also the only solution on the market that can be safely installed outdoors without the additional cost and time of enclosures to protect against the cold."

"Sustainable Energy is very pleased to have the opportunity to work with Envirolink, a leader in delivering unique products to sportsmen and other rural markets across Canada," said Michael Carten CEO of the Company. "What is significant about Envirolink's expansion into grid-connected solar PV is that the demand is coming from everyday Canadians who want to contribute to the energy solution, while also investing for long term financial returns.

"There is considerable optimism in the air, especially for growth of micro-FIT and smaller commercial and institutional rooftop systems. In the past few weeks our sales team has successfully expanded our network to more than 50 installers, system aggregators, OEM partners, as well as leading electrical distributors and suppliers of integrated products in advance of first production in Guelph.

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 SUNERGY_TM inverter is the industry's only grid-interactive solar inverter which enables a "parallel" solar PV system architecture in higher power ratings at a cost and serviceability factor that is comparable to other 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.
