QSolar Signs U.S. Distribution Agreement for Specialty Products and Receives Initial Sales Order



Calgary, Alberta (FSCwire) - QSolar Limited (CSE:QSL, FSE:Q2O)(“QSolar” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to announce that it has signed a one year non-exclusive distribution agreement (the “Agreement”) for its off-grid emerging specialty solar products with Worldwide Sun LLC (“Worldwide”), whose distribution and warehouse facility is located in metro Phoenix, Arizona. The Agreement is renewable, subject to certain terms and conditions, and performance milestones being achieved. In addition, Worldwide has now provided negotiated deposits on two initial and significant container orders to be sent to the U.S. totalling approximately USD $450,000. This significant initial order will assist in meeting and exceeding QSolar’s expectations for third quarter sales as well as gross margin targets. QSolar’s specialty products were developed utilizing the QSolar proprietary trade secret based Spraytek99 and ESS embedded production process and opens a wide range of new applications in the solar energy market which are proprietary, unique and leading edge.

 

Worldwide is a private company that has been developing new special relationships in this new emerging specialty off-grid market with certain retail golf car distributors and local golf courses as well as large U.S. consumer retail chains and solar sub-distributors in the survival, outdoor hunting and living industry and those that wish to have off-grid lifestyles. Over the past year, Worldwide has been instrumental in providing field testing and arranging retail outlet testing and market feedback for market acceptance for QSolar’s specialty products in the U.S. This also includes product modification testing as a result of market feedback of all of QSolar’s off-grid specialty products including the QDrive golf car accessory kit, portable solar boxes, recreational vehicle accessory kit currently under development, the desert ready panel and QSolar QSF flexible panel for specialty applications. The first U.S. specialty product container orders for Worldwide are currently being manufactured which include QDrives, solar boxes and a HLP-4KW portable power plant unit.

 

QSolar intends to use the Agreement as an initial strategic model to commence a direct sales network to distributors in the U.S. and to develop new high margin revenue streams. QSolar identified a strategic opportunity to develop specialty products where current solar mass market participants do not have cost effective technology, any products or solutions to offer. Armed with this strategy and is already in negotiations to hire a solar product marketing sales manager in the eastern U.S., to set up further distribution and direct sales networks with other potential partners for the various off-grid specialty products.

 

“QSolar’s new specialty product lines above are examples of the unique features, flexibility, and capabilities of its proprietary technology. Development of off-grid solar products will enable QSolar to enter into these emerging solar sectors with the assistance of distributors such as Worldwide that understand that off-grid solar solutions and markets that were non-existent, inadequate, or the applications deemed to be impossible with standard glass solar panel technology, and are now available on a cost effective basis with QSolar technology. These new off-grid emerging markets that QSolar is targeting have little or no competition, are potentially very large as no solutions exist, and have extremely attractive margins compared to traditional markets,” stated Mr. Andreas Tapakoudes, Chief Executive Officer of QSolar. “QSolar is developing a unique suite of solar panel product supply to address lifestyle and environmental conditions, and to meet specific needs and solutions in this new emerging solar energy marketplace. With the availability of supply of alternative off-grid power, and having a constant continuous supply of uninterrupted power on a cost effective basis, QSolar and Worldwide believe this Agreement will assist to secure and underpin each party’s growth and development strategy,” further stated Mr. Tapakoudes.
