TORONTO--(Marketwire - 03/01/10) - Atlantic Wind and Solar Inc. (AWSL) is pleased to provide further information regarding its wholly owned subsidiary Atlantic Solar Inc.'s (ASI) competitive advantage through the application of leading edge Converter/Inverter technology (CIT). As well, the Company is finalizing plans to expand CIT manufacturing.

Technology Leadership

From its inception, AWSL has based its Renewable Energy business on the guiding principle that leading edge technology will be the driver that advances the Company's plans for growth, just as it is clearly the driver for the entire Renewable Energy industry that is spawning a paradigm shift in the world's use, and sources, of energy.

Atlantic's CIT Advantage

The success of AWSL's rooftop solar energy systems when launched last year into the large Ontario marketplace, largely reflects the Company's cutting edge CIT that captures more energy and delivers improved economics over conventional inverter technology, currently in use by other renewable system developers. The result of years of development and testing, the Company's CIT provides a significant performance advantage, specifically, 25-30% more output power, in similar sunlight conditions, when compared with traditional solar inverters. While the capital cost of the system is somewhat more expensive than current inverter technology, its higher output offset's the additional capital costs and generates a higher return for the owner, making the ASWL renewable energy system a better overall investment.

Superior Technology

AWSL's advanced CIT is specifically designed to start collecting energy produced in much reduced sunlight conditions, and therefore will turn on earlier at dawn and shut off later at dusk, effectively broadening the shoulders (lengthening the energy collection timeframe each day) to a longer period each day than conventional inverters and thus harvesting more energy output during a 24 hour cycle. Simply put, the advanced CIT is an improved "manager" of the electricity production and transmittal-to-grid process.

Expansion of CIT Manufacturing

The expansion of manufacturing will be achieved through an outsourcing agreement with a long standing, local inverter manufacturing partner that meets Ontario's content requirement rules for the Province's FIT program. With a presence in the power electronics manufacturing industry for more than 25 years, this outsourcing partner is located in a large modern facility in Toronto, and is ideally suited to produce these advanced inverters/converters on a large scale.

"Our Joint-Venture partners are very pleased with the increased return on
investment that this technology delivers longer term. We believe that this
high performance Converter/Inverter technology offers AWSL tremendous
potential for rapid growth in the dynamic RE industry outside of Ontario as
well."
        Mr. Charles Mazzacato - Vice President, Atlantic Wind and Solar Inc.
