BSRC Stock: BioSolar's Dr. Stan Levy Selected to Present Company's Breakthrough BioBacksheet(TM) Solar Cell Technology at Key Industry Meeting
Chief Technology Officer to Speak at SPIE, the Largest Optical Science and Technology Meeting in North America
BioSolar(TM), Inc. (OTCBB: BSRC stock),
developer of a breakthrough technology to produce bio-based materials from
renewable plant sources that reduce the cost of photovoltaic solar cells,
announced today that Dr. Stan Levy, the company's Chief Technology Officer,
will present at the SPIE Symposium on Solar Applications and Energy
conference on Tuesday, August 12, 2008 in San Diego, CA.
Dr. Levy will present findings from the company's technology development
program, which led to BioSolar's breakthrough photovoltaic cell component,
the BioBacksheet(TM). He will speak to thousands of engineers and
researchers gathered for the SPIE symposium, the largest optical science
and technology meeting in North America.
"Dr. Levy has spearheaded our technology development efforts, and in a
highly efficient fashion, delivered a uniquely sophisticated product that
has stimulated interest on the part of a significant number of major solar
cell manufacturers," said Dr. David Lee, CEO of BioSolar. "The submissions
panel at the SPIE Symposium on Solar Applications and Energy recognizes the
unique nature of our new product and has asked Dr. Levy to deliver an oral
presentation, rather than the more common poster presentation. This forum
will allow Dr. Levy to discuss in detail the various scientific
breakthroughs underlying our BioBacksheet(TM)."
BioSolar recently announced that the company has delivered BioBacksheet(TM)
samples to a select group of solar cell manufacturers in multiple regions
of the country. BioSolar also has received numerous requests for analysis
samples from high-volume manufacturers, located in the U.S. and abroad.
"The high level of industry interest in our new product and Dr. Levy's
invitation to speak at SPIE are tributes to the significance of his
contributions to BioSolar and our shareholders," said Dr. Lee.
About SPIE
SPIE is an international membership society, serving scientists and
engineers in industry, academia, and government, as well as companies
producing leading-edge products. SPIE constituents work in a wide variety
of fields that utilize some aspect of optics and photonics, which is the
science and application of light. SPIE Optics+Photonics is the largest
optical sciences and technology meeting in North America, including over 55
courses and workshops. The Solar Energy + Applications track of the
conference is dedicated to finding ways to move toward secure, affordable,
and environmentally sustainable energy to meet the world's accelerating
energy needs. For more information, please visit:

BioSolar, Inc. has developed a breakthrough technology to produce bio-based
materials from renewable plant sources that will reduce the cost per watt
of solar cells. Most of the solar industry is focused on photovoltaic
efficiency to reduce cost. BioSolar is the first company to introduce a new
dimension of cost reduction by replacing petroleum-based plastic solar cell
components with durable bio-based materials. To learn more about BioSolar,
