Sunrise Solar To Provide Solar To Brazilian Hospitals

Sunrise Solar has announced that it has been selected to provide solar power resources to four major hospitals in Brazil.

The project is part of a multi-million dollar alternative energy development initiative. Brazil is a leading alternative energy producer with a strong focus on energy self-sufficiency. By encouraging industries to incorporate solar power in their energy strategy, Brazil continues to develop nationwide energy independence.

"We look forward to increasing our project base in Brazil through the development of solar resources for these important facilities," noted Eddie Austin, Chairman and CEO of Sunrise Solar Corp. "Energy independence is a world priority that we are proud to be a part of."

"These hospitals expect to significantly reduce their dependence on traditional electric power by generating solar power at their facilities," concluded Austin.

SSLR continues to seek major international projects to expand its footprint beyond the United States where it competes with much larger players such as First Solar, Inc., GT Solar Int. and Suntech Power Holdings.

Sunrise Solar Introduces Solar Building Brick

Sunrise Solar has announced the introduction of a Solar Light Brick for the integration of solar technologies into traditional construction materials.

This innovative technology includes advanced solar cells, an energy storage device and a crystal lighting system that surrounds the energy module in a square or rectangle.

The imbedded solar cell generates electricity when the sun shines and stores it in the storage device. The light is automatically activated after dark. The solar brick can be designed to light in any color.

Potential applications include rural airfields, building lighting, safety lights and decorative lighting. The solar brick can operate without any connection to the electrical grid and can be imbedded in construction materials.

"As we continue to introduce innovative solar products that deliver dynamic energy solutions that can be applied today, we are proud to introduce the 'solar light brick'," said Mr. Eddie Austin, Chairman and CEO of Sunrise Solar Corp.

"This creative product can provide lighting and decoration with no connection to a power grid and can be imbedded in a wall or concrete slab as an integrated part of the structural design."
