XsunX Achieves Milestone in Development of Power Glass Thin Films - Development Efforts Produce Laser Scribed Modules on Plastic Films


ALISO VIEJO, Calif., Sept. 12, 2006 - XsunX, Inc. (OTCBB: XSNX), provider of technologies for solar energy infrastructure and developer of Power Glass(tm), an innovative thin-film solar technology that is intended to allow glass windows to produce electricity from the power of the sun, today announced that the Company produced its first series connected solar modules on Polyethylenenapthalate, or PEN, based thin film plastics using proprietary laser scribing techniques.



This product development progress bolsters the Company's three primary projects: the development of semi-transparent thin film solar cells for use on transparent substrates, the development of high performance thin film nano-crystalline 4-Terminal solar cells, and the assembly of a hybrid manufacturing system for the delivery of these new cell types.



The Company's process uses transparent PEN based plastic as a substrate to deposit the Power Glass solar cell into a monolithically appearing sheet of tinted film. The new laser scribing processes allow the Company to segment only the various layers of the solar cell without harming the plastic substrate. This segmentation process allows the positive and negative layers of the cell structure to interconnect during the manufacturing process. Much like placing the batteries correctly in a flashlight, this connection of positive and negative layers is necessary to allow the energy produced by the solar cell to flow through the solar module and deliver power.



``Our concurrent efforts to develop new types of thin film solar cells and complete the assembly of our first production system continue to make significant progress,'' stated Tom Djokovich, XsunX's CEO. ``This latest milestone in the effort to develop a method to employ the use of lasers to segment and allow for the interconnection the individual solar cells into monolithically appearing sheets of tinted plastic films is exactly where we needed to go. Getting this process to work on PEN films has not been an easy task but the results provide us with minimally apparent interconnects between the individual solar cells. This was part of our overall product design to improve esthetics and increase the active or working area of the module to as close to 100% as possible,'' concluded Djokovich.



The Company will next work to fine tune these new laser scribing methods and integrate these processes into its manufacturing systems.



About XsunX



Based in Aliso Viejo, Calif., XsunX is developing and commercializing innovative new thin film photovoltaic (TFPV) solar cell technologies and manufacturing processes to service expanding global energy demands. The Company has focused its efforts on lowering the cost per watt of solar power and making solar cell technology easier to use in a wide variety of applications. XsunX calls this dual improvement to cost and efficiency the XFactor(tm). The XFactor delivers licensee's solar cell designs that break the bounds of crystalline silicon dependency, rigid and limited-use form factors, and rapid efficiency loss. Equally important, the XFactor provides new manufacturing techniques that can significantly lower production costs and allow for easier additions to production capacities and technology upgrades without having to re-build and re-tool. Together, XsunX design and production innovations offer manufacturers of solar products exciting new application opportunities and reductions to the cost per watt of solar power.

Demand for Environmentally Friendly and Cost Effective Alternative Fuel Sources Creates Need for Reliable Hydrogen Technology



RenewableEnergyStocks.com - Presents an Online Audio Interview with Alchemy Enterprises to Discuss their Magnesium Based Hydrogen-On-Demand Fuel System


POINT ROBERTS, Wash., Delta B.C., August 10, 2006 - www.RenewableEnergyStocks.com (RES) a leading investor and industry portal for the renewable energy sector presents an exclusive online audio interview with Jonathan Read, President and CEO of Alchemy Enterprises, Inc. (OTCBB: ACHM). In this interview Mr. Read discusses the development of the Company’s electric vehicle system, their relationship with Jet Propulsion Laboratories, in addition to a look at factors within the renewable energy market that are creating opportunities for Alchemy and its technology.
In addition to the nation’s quest for energy independence, there continues to be a significant push to preserve and protect our environment. There is evidence of support for this on a variety of levels including the recent climate pact signed by British Prime Minister Tony Blair and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in an attempt to reduce greenhouse gas emissions caused in large part by fossil fuels. As a result, the nation and the energy market is embracing alternative technologies in particular within the transportation sector.
As Jonathan Read explains, “The greatest emphasis and perhaps the most enthusiasm lies in the use of hydrogen as an alternative fuel source. The problem with hydrogen has always been that it is a volatile and unstable gas, and hence problems in its transportability, explosiveness, and volatility in terms of leakage. We are using magnesium as our base product in our reactor. Of extreme importance is that the magnesium, when it is used in our system, is recaptured and can be recycled and used in our system within a 24 hour period as a fuel catalyst for us. In that regard and considering that we produce no emissions, no toxins, no explosive materials and no flammable materials, we are really disrupting hydrogen technology as we know it and replacing it with magnesium, power-on-demand, hydrogen-on-demand, for the hydrogen systems that are in place.”
Alchemy is in a unique position through their relationship with NASA and JPL as they work on the development of their fuel cell system. “Jet Propulsion Labs is a joint venture between NASA and Caltech and are under a task plan with us whereby they undertake all the research, development, prototype development, testing and ultimate construction of the first prototype under our auspices. We in essence have the resources of one of the largest and most successful research and development labs in the world working on our product,” explains Read. This relationship has recently expanded as JPL, through Caltech, has become an eight percent shareholder in Alchemy.
From a market perspective Alchemy has identified the public transportation as their primary target. “It is clear that our system has the best potential for both cost-savings and environmental savings so we are looking first at the public transportation sector and that would be quickly followed on by delivery vehicles such as Federal Express, UPS, US Postal Service and followed thereafter by widespread use in automobiles.”
Alchemy is also planning in the future to work with ‘major oil’ offering them Alchemy’s fuel and fuel recycling systems to be used in their distribution network.
In terms of the initial launch of Alchemy’s product, the Company expects to have their first major city bus, equipped with their power cell technology, on the road in the first quarter of 2007.
