DENVER, CO, Aug 27 (MARKET WIRE) --
REC Solar (www.recsolar.com), an industry-leading provider of residential
and commercial solar electric systems, has teamed up with MySpace.com

solar energy through a solar-powered recharging station fueled entirely
by the sun. Home to the 2008 Democratic National Convention, Denver,
Colorado proudly boasts over 300 days of sunshine per year.
Free to the public, MySpace's Solar Recharging Stations, powered by REC
Solar, will allow passersby to charge their iPods, cell phones, laptops
and other gadgets using solar power. While waiting for their respective
technologies to recharge, kiosk visitors are encouraged to learn about
solar energy, mingle with other alternative power enthusiasts and enter to

"We are excited to be working with REC Solar in providing clean energy
during the convention," said Lee Brenner, Director of IMPACT and Executive
Producer of Political Programming at MySpace.
Throughout the duration of the Democratic National Convention, the REC
Solar-powered recharging portal is expected to provide over 1,000 watts of
alternative energy to Denver patrons. The solar-powered recharging station
will be conveniently located at the following intersection along downtown
Denver's commercial hub, the 16th Street Mall:

"REC Solar's vision is to make solar electricity part of the mainstream
energy supply. To make that shift in paradigm a reality, we recognize that
we must reach out to the next generation of energy consumers in their
preferred online medium," said Angiolo Laviziano, President and CEO of REC
Solar. "With the assistance of MySpace, the Solar Recharging Stations are
designed to not only raise awareness of alternative energy sources that
reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reliance on fossil fuels, but also to
encourage a sense of community, both online and offline."
