"Sustainability and green living is high on the consumer agenda for 2009, with
so many homeowners looking to save money and also be eco-conscious," said
Marty Low, CEO of SRS Energy.  "SRS Energy is excited to introduce Sole Power
Tile(TM) to the architectural world.  With green building playing such a
significant role in the Obama administration's economic stimulus efforts, it
could not come at a better time."   

SRS Energy's Sole Power Tile(TM) system blends seamlessly with several styles
of US Tile's clay tiles, providing energy without unsightly solar panels, thus
preserving a roofline's aesthetics.  The partnership between US Tile and SRS
Energy makes going solar easy by integrating the clay tile roof purchase with
a BIPV system, enabling businesses or homeowners to go green and generate
savings.  
 
The Sole Power Tile(TM) system employs cutting-edge thin film solar
technology, valued for generating more energy than comparable products in the
harsh roofing environment, and is backed by a full product warranty that
ensures reliability for both design professionals and their clients.  

"Most attractive of all is the 'eco-nomics' associated with Sole Power Tile,"
Low said.  "Choosing to upgrade to a sustainable roof from SRS Energy puts
energy savings in homeowners' pockets immediately and delivers compelling
long-term returns."

SRS Energy and US Tile will exhibit Sole Power Tile(TM) at Booth 216 near the
front of the South Hall.  US Tile is currently launching the product in select
West Coast markets.  For more information, visit www.srsenergy.com or
