Based on preliminary figures, Phoenix Solar AG, a leading photovoltaic system integrator listed on the TecDAX, generated consolidated revenues of EUR 473.0 million in the financial year 2009, which corresponds to the upper range of the corridor forecast for revenues (EUR 430 - 480 million). Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) came to EUR 12.2 million, which is also in line with guidance.

All in all, performance in the financial year 2009 was dominated by the German market (global market share of 40 - 50 percent), extremely volatile demand and an unexpectedly sharp downturn in the selling prices of photovoltaic systems. Moreover, business with photovoltaic power plants also su

Along with its partner Ikratos Africa, based in Burkina Faso 's capitol Ouagadougou , Phaesun GmbH from Memmingen , Germany , is constructing ten solar power plants in Koudougou Region in Burkina Faso , to be finished at the end of March. The solar modules will produce electricity for telecommunications plants. The contracting party is the telecommunications company Telecel Faso, which has been able to cover 75 % of the network with diesel-powered telecommunications plants so far. This project is Phaesun's first in the landlocked West-African country, which counts among the poorest in the world.

"Thanks to every solar plant, Telecel saves more than 30,000 euros, as compared to the diesel-driven plants, and around 184 tonnes of carbon dioxide annually&q
