Tanner Creek Energy Announces the Completion of 33.6 kW Solar Energy System at
Pacific Landscape Management
Helps Advance Hillsboro Company's Sustainability Initiative




PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Tanner Creek Energy, a general
contractor and project developer of Commercial and Industrial scale solar
electric systems, announced today the completion of a 33.6 kW grid-tied solar
system at Pacific Landscape Management.  Pacific Landscape Management, one of
the leading landscape contractors in the northwest, reports that the solar
system generates 95% of its electricity usage.

The Hillsboro, OR company contracted with Tanner Creek in its efforts to
lessen its environmental impact via energy efficiency improvements and the use
of renewable energy. The effort is part of Pacific Landscape Management's
Sustainable Landscape Solutions initiative, which in addition to solar,
includes reengineering its landscaping services practice, greening its
facility and expanded recycling programs.

Bob Grover, one of Pacific Landscape's founders said, "We were more than
pleased with Tanner Creek Energy. They were professional, efficient and were
flexible in working around our daily warehouse operations during the
installation." One of the deciding factors in the commercial landscaping
company's decision to work with Tanner Creek Energy to design and install its
roof-mounted system was its commitment to the local Oregon economy.

In keeping with the solar provider's local business philosophy, Tanner Creek
sourced product from two Oregon companies in the project. Solar World USA of
Hillsboro provided the 92 solar panels and PV Powered of Bend provided the
utility inverter which connects the system to the local utility grid.

Alan Hickenbottom, founder of Tanner Creek Energy stated, "We're excited about
our work with Pacific Landscape Management because they're truly committed to
sustainability.  Their impact on the local quality of life and environmental
stewardship goes beyond their internal business practices. They're providing
innovative, earth-friendly landscaping services to their commercial and
industrial customers in the Northwest."
