On June 24, 2009, U.S. Secretary of Commerce
Gary Locke, as well as representatives of Governor
Jennifer Granholm, Congressman Gary Peters, and
the Michigan Economic Development Corporation
were given a brief tour of the USO facility to show
how UNI-SOLAR® laminates are produced.

Mr. James Finn, Resident Managing Director,
United Solar China (R) and Mr. Wang Jianping,
Chief Executive Officer, United Solar Ovonic (L)
welcome Treasury Secretary Timothy F.Geithner
to Beijing Capital Museum and introduce the USO
BIPV system installed on the roof, which has
been in continuous operation since 2005.

On June 2, U.S. Treasury Secretary Geithner visited
the Beijing's Capital Museum, seeing the
solar-powered roof of the museum. The Capital
Museum installed 5,000 square meters of solar
panels at its roof, which can generate power of
200,000 KWh per year.

UNI-PAC™ charger during his visit of the Beijing
Capital Museum in June 2009. The UNI-PAC®
consists of a series of portable/foldable solar
battery chargers using the UNI-SOLAR®
triple-junction technology, which has rendered
them extremely rugged and durable. They are
capable of withstanding extreme climate
conditions and rugged terrains while their unique
design makes them easy to carry and deploy.

President George W. Bush toured ECD Ovonics'
