"This is a significant step for the company," said Dr. David Lee, BioSolar's CEO, "because certification by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) is required for sales of Photovoltaic modules in the United States, and we have engineered a two-step tactical scenario wherein we can dramatically lessen the amount of time necessary to attain the all important UL Certification."

SBM Solar of Concord, NC, a strategic partner of BioSolar Inc., is in the final process of obtaining UL certification for their all polymer packaged PV module. BioSolar has submitted modules, using its proprietary bioplastic backsheet film, to the National Renewable Laboratory (NREL) for initial testing. Assuming positive results at NREL, SBM will submit additional modules to Underwriters Laboratory for UL approval changing only their standard backsheet material to BioSolar's proprietary bioplastic backsheet film.

"Changing only one item on a UL certified module drastically shortens the approval process. Once this module is certified, the door will be opened for general sales of our bioplastic based backsheet film to the entire PV industry," concluded Dr. Lee.
