Suntech Unveils North American Partner Sales Program.

Suntech Power Holdings Co., Ltd., the world's leading manufacturer of crystalline silicon photovoltaic (PV) modules, announced its new North American Partner Program, designed to increase its current network of approximately 200 domestic installers and help dealers generate more sales. Formally launching in January 2010, the Suntech Partner Program will offer selected dealers a co-marketing fund, training and services, financing programs, and priority access to its innovative product line.

"We are focused on growing the footprint of solar power across the U.S. and Canada, and to do this, we know we have to effectively collaborate with all of our partners," said Mark McKahan-Jones, vice president, Dealer Sales Division, Suntech. "Our program is built with insights and feedback from solar installers across the country, and we're confident that combined with our high-value solar modules, we will provide the country's best dealers with everything they need to grow their businesses."

With applications open to all North American solar installers, Suntech's Partner Program will feature a proprietary Partner Portal created to simplify the installer sales process. The portal allows Suntech dealers to manage their Suntech account, retrieve and track leads, and access a variety of sales and marketing resources. Additionally, Suntech worked with Clean Power Finance, the nation's leading provider of software and services to renewable energy professionals to develop a state of the art proposal tool/CRM service that allows Suntech partners to:

--- Produce professional and fully customizable proposals in a few simple steps;

--- Utilize a continuously updated, comprehensive database of utility rates, incentives, and rebates;

--- Track and manage their customers from interest to installation from one central location; and

--- Produce accurate quotes using pre-loaded Suntech solar modules.

Dealers are welcome to contact Suntech now to sign up for the launch of the Partner Program in January 2010.

Suntech, with regional headquarters in China, Switzerland and San Francisco, designs, develops, manufactures, and markets premium quality, high-output, cost-effective and environmentally friendly solar products for electric power applications in the residential, commercial, industrial, and public utility sectors.
