APPOINTMENT OF CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER – EUROPEAN OPERATIONS & COMPLETION OF 30% ACQUISITION OF DACHLAND GmbH

January, 25, 2005- Solar Integrated Technologies, Inc. (Solar Integrated) announces the appointment of Frederik W. Mowinckel as Chief Operating Officer of European operations with effect from 1 February 2005.  Frederik will be based in London and will have responsibility for developing Solar Integrated’s expansion into Europe, with particular focus on the UK, Germany, France and Spain. Frederik will report to Jon W. Slangerup, CEO.

From 1995 to 2004, Frederik was Chairman and principal shareholder of The Rikett International Group, a global manufacturer and supplier of commercial flooring.  In addition he was a Director of Hunton Fiber AS, a leading manufacturer of wood fibreboard for the building material market.

The Directors of Solar Integrated are also pleased to announce the completion of the acquisition of 30% of the issued share capital of Dachland GmbH (Dachland), announced on 26 November 2004.

Commenting on the announcement, Chairman David Potter said:

“Frederik will bring a wealth of business and management experience to Solar Integrated.  His previous career in the building material industry and his experience of cross border negotiation and project management will be invaluable in helping us develop large scale, industrial and commercial photovoltaic roofing projects across Europe.”

Frederik W. Mowinckel added:

“Solar Integrated’s solar PV products have significant potential in Europe. Encouraged by well developed incentive programmes, Germany alone represents 25% of the world PV market, mainly grid connected systems.  The acquisition of the 30% stake in Dachland gives us a springboard into this market.  The rest of Europe has an annual growth rate of over 100%.  Promoting a PV-integrated building product gives Solar Integrated a strong competitive edge. I am delighted to be joining the company as it moves further into Europe.”
