GCL System Integration Technology Co., Ltd. ("GCLSI" or "the Company") 
(Shenzhen: 002506), a leading photovoltaics company, announced the first phase 
of Albania's largest floating solar project, to which GCLSI provides patented 
modules, was successfully connected to the grid.

Working jointly with Ocean Sun, a Norwegian owner and developer of proprietary 
floating solar technology, GCLSI as a supplier, provides solar modules to the 2 
MWp project on the Banja reservoir, the largest project of its kind in the 
region, which is now under construction.

"We are proud that our patented modules have been chosen to play a key role in 
this major floating solar project in Albania," said Thomas Kun Zhang, Executive 
President of GCLSI. "The cooperation identifies those products stamped by GCLSI 
have strong competitiveness in the global floating market," Zhang added.

"The long-term collaboration with GCLSI has been excellent thanks to the 
high-performance modules and the professional and supportive GCLSI team," said 
Børge Bjørneklett, CEO of Ocean Sun.

The project, with an estimated total investment of EUR 2 million, was overseen 
by Europe's largest renewable energy producer, Statkraft, together with Ocean 
Sun. GCLSI has taken part in the project by providing solar modules, which have 
passed rigorous testing in the development process, and are fit for multiple 
circumstances, including being submerged in seawater over a long period without 
jeopardizing performance.

The first implementation phase of the project comprises about 1600 solar 
panels, covering almost 4,000 square meters, with an installed capacity of 0.5 
MWp. The unit was successfully deployed and connected to the grid recently.

The second phase adds a combined capacity of 1.5 MWp, and the construction is 
estimated to be completed by this year. After completion, the plant will 
generate renewable energy and inject the power into the Albanian national grid.
