Solar Announces Diatom's Offer to Acquire Planktos.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Solar Energy Limited (OTCBB:SOLAR) ("Solar") today announced that it has received an amended offer from Diatom Corp. (OTCBB:DTMC) ("Diatom") to purchase 100% of the shares of Planktos, Inc. ("Planktos").

Planktos Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Solar Energy Limited is focusing on the business opportunities afforded by the Kyoto Accord. Specifically, Planktos has underway two programs to sequester CO2 in the forests of the land (Hungary, Poland, etc.) and in the 'forests' of the ocean (i.e., plankton). The business of Planktos is to produce and sell carbon credits; a carbon credit is one tonne of CO2 that has been 'put away' i.e., sequestered as outlined in its Web site: www.planktos.com.

The offer that Solar is proposing to accept is to receive 30 million shares of DTMC in exchange for 100% of the shares of Planktos, Inc. The offer is subject to Solar providing a satisfactory ongoing management team for Planktos and to DTMC demonstrating that it has $2 million in unfettered working capital available for Planktos to complete its 12 month business plan.

It is proposed to change the name of Diatom Corp. to Planktos Corp. Solar has less than 20 million shares outstanding and would be reviewing the option of whether to dividend the shares of DTMC to Solar shareholders or to retain in total the 30 million shares and the decision to do so will be based in part on income tax considerations both for Solar and its shareholders.

This offer is further subject to the execution of a definitive agreement and obtaining the approval of Solar's Board of Directors, Diatom's Board of Directors, and Diatom's shareholders.

In the event that Solar decides to accept Diatom's offer and the transaction is completed, Solar would then be able to focus on its other wholly owned subsidiary, D2Fusion, Inc. An update of D2Fusion, Inc.'s program is expected shortly. The science and news surrounding solid-state fusion and D2Fusion, Inc., can be viewed on the company's website at www.d2fusion.com.
