LOS ANGELES--(Business Wire)--
Phat Energy (www.phatenergy.com) has made it into the Sundance Film Festival.
The Los Angeles-based company that designs and installs solar energy systems, is
a co-sponsor of "2009: A Green Odyssey," a part of the festival dedicated to
environmentally-themed films. The largest eco-event in Sundance history, Green
Odyssey will be held on January 16th from 8 p.m. to midnight at Village on Main
in Park City.

Phat Energy sees itself as more than a supplier of renewable energy products;
it`s also a promoter of environmentally responsible lifestyles. Its sponsorship
of the Sundance event is a way to get its message to a particularly influential
crowd. "The entertainment community can and must energize our green economy,"
says Phat Energy General Manager Philippe Hartley. "We applaud the filmmakers
who lead that charge; that's why Phat Energy is proud to support this event."

Films screening as part of Green Odyssey include "Big Man River," "End of the
Line," "Crude" and "Dirt! The Movie." Celebrities expected to attend include
Sting, Paris Hilton, Spike Lee, John Cleese and the cast of "It`s Always Sunny
in Philadelphia."

Phat Energy, founded by Hartley in 2007, is quickly making a name for itself in
Southern California through a unique approach to solar energy that combines
cutting edge technology and out-of-the-box thinking. Its products include the
Phatport, a system of solar energy panels that can be used to cover a deck or
carport while increasing productivity by 20 percent more than traditional solar
panels. The Phatport uses bifacial solar cells, newly-developed by Sanyo, that
are semi-translucent and can collect energy both through direct sunlight and
reflected from the ground. The system can be used to provide supplemental energy
for a home or to charge an electric car.

Phat Energy is located at 2715 Foothill Blvd., La Crescenta, Calif. 91214. For
