Carmanah Technologies Corporation (TSX Venture: CMH) has been awarded a contract by Trueform Engineering Ltd. of the United Kingdom for the supply of a minimum of 1,200 solar LED-illuminated bus stops.

Victoria, British Columbia, Canada - Thursday, September 22, 2005 - Carmanah Technologies Corporation (TSX Venture: CMH) is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a contract by Trueform Engineering Ltd. of the United Kingdom for the supply of a minimum of 1,200 solar LED-illuminated bus stops. These units are scheduled for installation throughout the City of London, England, between October 2005 and March 2006. The total value of the contract is in excess of $1.5 million.

"Carmanah is extremely proud to be selected as Trueform's technology partner for London Buses' solar illuminated bus stop project," states Carmanah's CEO, Art Aylesworth. "Due to the high profile of this project and the difficult solar environment in London, the technology development and selection process was the most rigorous that Carmanah has ever experienced and took nearly four years to complete."

Carmanah has been involved with the London solar stop initiative from the outset, including the delivery of the first prototypes in the fall of 2001 and a subsequent series of successful field trials. "We are excited to be involved in this visionary project initiated by a world-class city such as London. We look forward to the installation of the first 1200 units in the months ahead and ensuring this is a showcase project for the City of London and Carmanah's solar LED technology."

Carmanah has already established a track record of developing and delivering several solar projects for London Buses over the past four years. Milestones include:

- Joint development of the first fully integrated solar LED-illuminated bus stop in 2001;

- Joint development of the first solar LED-illuminated bus shelter installation in mid-2002;

- A field trial of 24 solar bus stops in the Sutton area of Greater London in 2003;

- Receipt of the London Buses solar shelter lighting contract in 2003. To-date, nearly 300 systems have been successfully deployed; and

- An additional field trial of 75 solar bus stops in central London, Kingston and Richmond in 2004.

Carmanah's extensive experience and energy management expertise have played a valuable role in ensuring these and other London Buses solar projects have performed reliably in London's challenging winter conditions.

"London Buses' solar illuminated bus stop project is Carmanah's largest contract to-date outside of North America," states Richard Sowter, Carmanah's Vice President, UK and Europe. "This project reinforces European growth and investment in renewable energy applications and coincides with Carmanah's investment in a European office based in the UK."
