China Nuvo Solar Energy, Inc. announced that it has closed and received net proceeds in a funding of $311,900 from a commitment of up to $700,000 pursuant to an investment banking agreement.

We believe that this funding adds credence to management’s plans for China Nuvo over the short and long term."
