        <![CDATA[<p>XINYU CITY, China &amp; SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--       LDK Solar Co., Ltd. ("LDK Solar") (NYSE:<a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=ldk" target="_blank">LDK</a> - <a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q/h?s=ldk" target="_blank">News</a>), a leading manufacturer of        multicrystalline solar wafers, high purity polysilicon and PV products,        and Solar Power, Inc. (&ldquo;SPI&rdquo;) (OTCBB:<a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=sopw.ob" target="_blank">SOPW.ob</a> - <a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q/h?s=sopw.ob" target="_blank">News</a>), announced today that LDK        Solar agreed to acquire a 70% interest in SPI for approximately $33        million. LDK Solar&rsquo;s investment provides strategic benefits to both        parties. The transaction significantly strengthens SPI&rsquo;s balance sheet,        which will enable the acceleration of the development of its project        pipeline, which primarily consists of utility-scale power plants and        commercial/industrial distributed generation systems. SPI&rsquo;s growing        development portfolio and pipeline, in turn, should provide LDK Solar        with enhanced downstream benefit to its vertical integration model        through module supply for large scale projects.</p>
<p>In addition, LDK Solar will purchase certain components of SPI&rsquo;s        manufacturing equipment and assume total manufacturing control of SPI&rsquo;s        former module manufacturing facility in Shenzhen, China. SPI will        maintain a separate logistical team in Shenzhen to enhance project        development, design and related project management functions at a new        location in Shenzhen. The transition in manufacturing is strategic;        allowing SPI to focus on development and construction of large scale and        utility scale U.S. solar projects, while maintaining product quality and        enhancing its competitive position. As a vertically integrated        manufacturer and supplier of photovoltaic (PV) products, LDK Solar has        more than 20,000 employees worldwide.</p>
<p>&ldquo;We are very pleased with this new strategic relationship,&rdquo; said        Xiaofeng Peng, Chairman and CEO of LDK Solar. &ldquo;We have known the SPI        team for several years and have been very impressed with the quality of        their work and the caliber of the customers they serve. We look forward        to working closely with the team that is responsible for outstanding        solar projects such as the Staples Center and the Aerojet solar farm,&rdquo;        Chairman Peng stated. &ldquo;This transaction also expands our downstream        vertical integration opportunities and provides LDK Solar and SPI the        opportunity to jointly explore opening manufacturing operations in the        U.S. to further enhance SPI&rsquo;s competitive advantage in North America.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;This investment in SPI clearly places our company among the most elite        photovoltaic solar developers today,&rdquo; said Steve Kircher Chairman and        CEO of Solar Power, Inc. &ldquo;We are honored that LDK Solar has placed value        in our legacy projects and in our pipeline. Projects such as the Aerojet        solar farm, a 6MW ground mount, single-axis tracking solar system, and        the Staples Center, our first installation of Skymount, SPI&rsquo;s        proprietary rooftop system, reflect the quality of our team,&rdquo; Mr.        Kircher added. &ldquo;LDK Solar&rsquo;s commitment to project development through        capital from their direct stock purchase clearly enhances our position        in the market. The strength of our newly combined vertical platform        should provide us significant competitive advantages going forward,&rdquo; Mr.        Kircher concluded.</p>
<p>The terms of the investment are detailed in the Form 8-K filed by SPI,        which outlines the timing of the proposed investment and closings.</p>

<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">The insurance solution covers the performance warranty of LDK Solar modules for a period of 25 years. The warranty guarantees that the modules will perform to at least 90 percent capacity in the first ten years and to at least 80 percent in the remaining 15 years.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">The cover offers LDK Solar a greater degree of business certainty and thus constitutes a powerful differentiator in a competitive marketplace. Ultimately it gives operators of solar parks additional economic security in the event of an unforeseen loss in performance of the modules. This new insurance solution is a major stepping-stone in financing photovoltaic projects as it provides additional financial security.</p>

<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">"We are pleased to become a client of Munich Re and view this insurance solution as a positive development for the PV industry as it provides additional fiscal security in guaranteeing the long-term performance of solar modules," stated <span style="line-height: 1.22em;">Xiaofeng Peng</span>, Chairman and CEO of LDK Solar.</p>
<p style="line-height: 1.4em; font-size: 1em; color: #181818; padding: 0px;">The insurance cover developed by Munich Re's unit Special Enterprise Risk will be implemented for Munich Re by one of the group's primary insurers.</p>

We have been awarded initial contracts to develop PV power projects in buildings, plants and integration systems, totaling up to 2 GW in various provinces. We will also co-operate with Best Solar on downstream PV projects, such as solar cell or module manufacturing, solar panel assembly or provision of certain solar utility services. As part of our ongoing efforts to expand our presence globally, we announced a partnership with Enfinity and the Balta Group for the largest rooftop solar energy installation project in Benelux, which will represent our first volume shipments of modules to Europe. We continue to be excited by the long-term growth opportunities in the solar industry," concluded Mr. Peng.</p>
