SunWize Commercial Power Systems Completes Largest PV Installation in Texas

337 kW System for the Department of Veterans Affairs
KINGSTON, N.Y.--(Business Wire)--
SunWize Commercial Power Systems, the commercial installation division of
SunWize Technologies, Inc., recently completed a 337 kW DC solar electric system
for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) at its Dallas Medical Center. The
installation is the largest photovoltaic (PV) installation in Texas and the
second major project completed by SunWize for the VA in its effort to utilize
renewable energy and improve energy efficiency.

The Dallas VA Medical Center system is expected to save the hospital over
$62,000 in annual electricity costs. It consists of 1,728 SANYO HITTM PV modules
and is one of the highest efficiency PV systems available.

"I appreciate the diligent project and construction management of SunWize.
Nobody has worked as hard as SunWize to address my requirements," states Rick
Hart, Energy Manager at the Medical Center. "Moreover, I am glad for the
careful, conservative approach to structural engineering that SunWize has taken.
In the May 2nd `microburst` storm that destroyed the Dallas Cowboy training
facility and uprooted trees and light poles here at the hospital, our rooftop PV
system stayed put."

Federal agencies are under executive order to increase energy efficiency and
reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 3 percent per year or 30 percent by the end
of 2015. In response, the VA developed a comprehensive department-wide energy
management plan and surveyed its major facilities for their renewable energy
potential. Its evaluation identified the Dallas and Loma Linda, Calif.
facilities as the top candidates for PV systems. SunWize Commercial Power
Systems was awarded and successfully completed both contracts.

"We are pleased and honored to once again work with the VA in its renewable
energy push. The Medical Center in Dallas is the second of what we anticipate
will be many projects for the Department of Veterans Affairs. Completing the
largest PV system in Texas again demonstrates SunWize has the unique ability and
resources to successfully complete solar electric systems across the country,"
comments David Kaltsas, SunWize Executive Vice President.
