Order for Five Megawatts Exceeds 2011 Total Shipments

Campbell, CA, June 18, 2012 – Westinghouse Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:WEST), a designer and manufacturer of integrated rooftop solar power systems, and CBD Energy Ltd. (ASX:CBD), a diversified renewable energy company, today jointly announced an agreement to begin distributing Westinghouse Solar Instant Connect™ Solar Power Systems to Harvey Norman Commercial Division.

Westinghouse Solar CEO Margaret Randazzo commented, "We are excited to see such early and significant results of the collaborative efforts of CBD in marketing our products. To put this agreement in perspective, this order results in an increase that more than doubles our volume of shipments from the preceding year. Additionally, this demonstrates how we can leverage the global model and international market access that CBD offers, and gives us the opportunity to grow revenue outside the US market without punitive tariffs."

"We have high regard in the brand and multi award winning technology that Westinghouse Solar offers," said Gerry McGowan, Managing Director and CEO of CBD. "While CBD has been the main supplier of solar panels to Harvey Norman Commercial Division for a number of years, the size and scope of this agreement validates our assessment that there is an appetite for Westinghouse Solar's innovative products in the Australian market. Harvey Norman Commercial Division recognized the superior ease of use and safety of the systems, combined with the strength of the Westinghouse brand. The results of this activity clearly illustrate that Westinghouse Solar product is well positioned to be a global class leader," Mr. McGowan said.

This five megawatt purchase commitment is expected to be delivered over approximately six months following certification, and is subject to the system being certified in Australia. The certification process is currently underway and is expected to take approximately three months to complete. Once certifications are achieved, the company expects to begin shipping product in the fourth calendar quarter of this year. The Harvey Norman brand name is a retail icon throughout Australia with 185 franchised complexes throughout the local market

Mr. Alan Stephenson, Franchisee of Harvey Norman Commercial Division said "When CBD presented us with the Westinghouse branded, integrated ‘plug-and-play' solar power systems, with less parts, superior safety and faster install times, we jumped at the opportunity to offer these products to our customers. Having a brand like Westinghouse to market is a great advantage for us. Unlike other regions of the world, the uptake of solar is quite strong, with over 830 megawatts sold in the Australian market last year. We look forward to having this differentiated product. Harvey Norman Commercial Division has been selling to the Building Industry for over 12 years. In addition to supplying kitchen, bathroom items, hot water and air conditioning systems, we have established a solar business, which we believe, will be a market leader. With Australian power pricing continuing to rise, we are continuing to see very strong demand for solar installations as we are already at grid parity," Mr. Stephenson said.
