Windar Photonics PLC announced that it has received a significant new order with a gross value of US$1.27m for delivery to the North American market in the first half of this year. This initial order opens up the opportunity to secure further orders from the same customer, which operates a number of additional sites populated by approximately five times as many V82 turbines as covered by today's announcement. Given the prominence of this customer, this order should significantly add to the visibility of Windar in the North American Market.

This new order represents the Company's third full wind farm deployment in North America with Vestas V82 wind turbines to be equipped with the Company's Windar WindEye /WindTimizer optimization solution. Approximately 10% of the order value is attributable to software related income derived from the recently launched Windar Nexus software suite which the Company believes has been integral to winning and enabling this order. This is the Company's first revenue from software as it seeks to expand its offering further by selling not only upfront software licenses but also additional turbine performance improvement software-related services.
