Wednesday February 28, 4:15 pm ET


MENLO PARK, CA--(MARKET WIRE)--Feb 28, 2007 -- Solar EnerTech Corp. (OTC BB:SOEN.OB - News) (the "Company") advises that upon the close of the Chinese New Year's holiday season and recommencement of business the Company wishes to notify it filed the requisite 10QSB and 10QSB/A regulatory reports just prior to the start of the holiday season.
The reports submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") detail events for the critical growth period of October 1 to December 31, 2006, throughout which the Company has achieved the following milestones:


1) Start up of production line #1 rolled out the first batch of solar
modules on Nov. 23rd and concurrently launched SolarE as market
identity and brand name.
2) Successfully completed a $5.6 million financing.
3) Engaged Knight Capital Markets LLC as advisors.
4) Released beta version of proprietary Power Conditioning Software.
5) Inaugurated Joint R&D Lab with Shanghai University.



These strategic milestones in 2006 have set a solid foundation for the company's future development and have exceeded initial expectations by virtue of Management's ability to work closely with China's governmental systems. The Company quickly acquired both its license to conduct business as well as favored tax status from the Chinese government in late July, then went on to complete its facility infrastructure and installation of solar cell equipment culminating in its first product shipment within a mere 5 months. This accomplishment has been acclaimed by members of the local solar industry as "a small miracle" and has sent a healthy message to the Company's employees boosting their confidence in their own ability to transform future challenges into success.

Due principally to these achievements, Solar EnerTech's first sales contract was signed in January of this year, which will bring in $9.2 million of revenue. Additionally, the R&D Lab with Shanghai University has launched five significant research projects simultaneously. These developmental experiments are slated to begin in the Joint Lab as well as at Solar EnerTech's manufacturing plant during the first week of March. This will be the first test of the Joint Labs ability to fast-track R&D initiatives to commercialization.

In related news, an upsurge of visits by potential buyers from Asia, Europe, and North America has necessitated the Company open an in-house office offering a specially trained multi-lingual team to host visits to the Company's corporate office and manufacturing plant at Jin Qiao Modern Technology Park. Additionally, as the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games are less than 18 months away, the Company is actively seeking initiatives to assist Olympic organizers and other event stakeholders towards providing "green power" technology highlighting opportunities geared towards facility and equipment infrastructure, such as venue electrical power supplementation, hybrid vehicle support, lighting solutions, and portable toilet alternative energy sources.
