EPOD International Inc. (the "Company", "EPOD") (OTC BB: EPOI), (Frankfurt: EDU.F), announces the Company has developed a new, proprietary solar panel assembly/manufacturing process.


EPOD announces that it has developed a new, proprietary, solar panel assembly/manufacturing process that will reduce costs by up to 40% and result in the Company being one of the lowest cost solar panel producers in the world. The new assembly/manufacturing process will significantly improve the Company's gross profit per unit. Further, EPOD can apply this process to any existing amorphous silicon solar panel plant, which creates an opportunity for the Company to acquire old solar panel factories that are currently only marginally profitable and apply EPOD's new technology.


"The development of this new process will definitely benefit all of our solar efforts and help develop new opportunities," commented Mark Roseborough, EPOD President.
