Montreal, Canada, October 1, 2007 – ICP Solar Technologies Inc. (OTCBB: ICPR, FRANKFURT: K1U.F), a developer, manufacturer and marketer of solar cells and products, today opened a sales office in Aliso Viejo, California.
This new office will serve as a hub for all of ICP Solar’s operations in California, enabling the company to accelerate its growth, strengthen its relationships with customers and add new customers, and forge distributor agreements for its Sunsei amorphous Thin-File Solar Tile and Wireless Sunsei Greenmeter™ products launched last week at the 4th Annual Solar Power Conference and Expo.

"Our new sales office will be managed by Tom Clark, our vice president of sales in North America, who brings 20 years experience in the consumer goods industry to this exciting initiative. Under Tom’s leadership, we look forward to continued double digit growth in our “Solar to Go” Coleman line and our lifestyle Sunsei® mobile chargers. As always, we want our products to make those solar lifestyle moments simple, measurable and enjoyable."
