October 23, 2007. Solomon Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB:SOLM), announced today that it has delivered the first shipment of a $500,000 order to a major manufacturer of capital equipment targeting the rapidly growing solar industry. This high voltage, 100 kilowatt power conversion system is an adjunct to Solomon's Cobalt 15 product line, designed for the harsh working conditions endemic to industrial manufacturing and other OEM environments.
"Since acquiring Technipower last year, Solomon has continued to invest in new product development targeted at high growth market opportunities," said Jack Worthen, President of the Power Electronics Division. "Our initial market success with the Cobalt product line is particularly encouraging as we expand our marketing efforts in the alternative energy sector. The inherent configurability of the Cobalt 15 in both power range and voltage level allows us to play a crucial role in markets where efficient energy conversion is critical to our customer's success."
Mr. Worthen continued, "As our Power Electronics Division has continued to expand with the recent acquisition of Deltron, the opportunities to serve broader and larger markets has increased substantially. In addition, our new offshore manufacturing capabilities provide us with the ability to provide enhanced product capability with high energy density and a correspondingly low cost per watt."
