SunMaxx Solar announced today the company will soon be starting a large solar thermal system installation in the United States at the Fort Hood military base in Texas. Located approximately 60 miles from the state capital of Austin, Fort Hood covers a total of 340-square miles and supports multiple units, a corps headquarters and a robust mobilization mission. The installation is tentatively scheduled to be completed by early spring 2011, and will include six solar thermal hot water heating systems to meet the domestic hot water needs of six different buildings on the base. The systems will incorporate a total of 198 SunMaxx TitanPower Plus-SU2 flat plate solar collectors, one of the highest rated flat plate solar collectors in the industry, and will provide 30-50 percent of the energy necessary to meet the domestic hot water load. System efficiency is expected to be 60-80 percent, and will reduce carbon emissions by a significant amount annually. The system will be installed by Intelligent Green Solutions (IGS), an authorized SunMaxx solar thermal installer located in Ithaca, New York. IGS is central New York’s premier solar thermal installer and energy efficiency consultant. For more information about IGS, you can visit them online athttp://www.intelligentgreensolutions.com.

November 12, 2010 As the premier global competition for undergraduate students, the Global Student Entrepreneur Awards inspire students to adopt entrepreneurial endeavors by bringing global visibility to student business owners who are innovative, profitable and socially responsible. As an Entrepreneurs’ Organization program, the GSEA operates as a global series of competitions for student entrepreneurs who are attending a recognized high school, college or university, own a for-profit business, are principally responsible for its operation and have been generating revenue for a minimum of six consecutive months. This year’s competition will take place on November 17-19 at the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation Center in Kansas City, Missouri, in conjunction with Global Entrepreneurship Week. SunMaxx Solar CEO, Adam Farrell is no stranger to this competition. In 2005, Mr. Farrell himself won the award for his endeavors in the solar technology industry. Building on inspiration from a high school science project, he would go on to establish Silicon Solar, Inc., a successful photovoltaics company based in Ithaca, New York. Mr. Farrell, along with his brother Matt Farrell, has since gone on to form SunMaxx Solar, the solar thermal division of Silicon Solar, Inc. Mr, Farrell has received the honor of being invited to be one of the judges for the final round of competition. Final round judging will take place on Thursday, November 18, with Gala Awards Dinner announcing the winner later on that same evening.

Ithaca, NY - Friday October 8, 2010 SunMaxx Solar is pleased to announce that they are bidding on a solar collector project at the White House in Washington D.C. The installation in scheduled for spring 2011. Secretary of Energy Steven Chu said of the announcement, “This project reflects President Obama’s strong commitment to U.S. leadership in solar energy and the jobs it will create here at home. Deploying solar energy technologies across the country will help America lead the global economy for years to come.” SunMaxx could not be happier with the decision to implement solar technology at the White House. Previously, solar panels were installed in 1979 during President Jimmy Carter's term in office. They were then taken down in 1986 during the Reagan administration. Aside from the company's interest in acquiring the bid, SunMaxx Solar hopes that this installation on the White House, and the national attention it is sure to draw, will help the American public better understand the viability of solar technology as a reliable and cost-effective alternative energy source.
SunMaxx Solar Brings Solar Education to Utah Solar Tour
American Forks, UT - September 23, 2010 Over 400 students were in attendance at the Utah Solar Tour 2010. The event, sponsored by the Utah Solar Energy Association (UtSEA) was highlighted by the opening of the new Solar Educational Park. The park was created by TRA-Mage, Inc., a manufacturer of roof-mounting systems for solar panels. The students learned how the sun can turn on electric lights, heat a shower and purify water. This is the first year that UtSEA has offered tours for K-12 students, said executive director Levi Belnap. “We wanted students to see solar energy and touch it,” Belnap said. “This was an opportunity for kids, at a young age, to come out and see this is the future. There are career paths here that will be available.” In fact, students were able to meet Adam Farrell, CEO of SunMaxx Solar, whose entrepreneurial interests in solar power were inspired by a high school science project. Farrell demonstrated solar technology which was developed and produced by SunMaxx Solar, one of two solar companies he started. So that students could take home the experience of what they had learned, SunMaxx gave away solar powered toys for the students to enjoy after their day at the tour. SunMaxx Solar also took the opportunity to introduce itself into the Utah solar energy markets. Recently, SunMaxx and TRA-Mage announced a long-term partnership where the latter would be providing solar mounting hardware for SunMaxx solar panels. Both companies are industry-leaders with their respective product lines and have proven success in the worldwide marketplace. SunMaxx Solar offers complete turnkey solutions for domestic hot water and space heating in both residential and commercial applications. SunMaxx is also committed to solar thermal education and training via their EduPower Training Program, which to date has trained and certified over 1,000 solar thermal installers worldwide.
Solar Power International (SPI), previously called Solar Power Conference and Expo, was created in 2004 when the Solar Electric Power Association (SEPA) and the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) joined together in partnership to fill an obvious void: North America was missing a business-to-business solar conference and expo. With an industry growth rate of more than 40% per year, there was a need for a single event where industry could come together with potential customers, policymakers, investors, and other parties necessary for continued rapid growth. It didn’t take long for the event to establish itself as the premiere solar event in the US, growing from 1,100 attendees to over 24,000 in just six years! There are many existing and new solar events popping up around the US. However, Solar Power International has been established as the only “must attend” solar event in the US. It is the largest solar conference and expo in North America, currently by a factor of more than 5, and attracts the widest range of professional attendees. The event also educates consumers through a one-night public opening of the expo hall. Solar Power International 2010 takes place October 12-14 in Los Angeles, CA. SunMaxx Solar will be displaying a variety of new solar thermal products, as well as have solar experts on hand to answer any questions pertaining to their industry-leading product line and turnkey hot water heating solutions. SunMaxx will also highlight its outstanding dealer/installer program. Individuals in the plumbing, construction or HVAC professions will have the opportunity to see how SunMaxx Solar can help them expand and grow their business by becoming certified SunMaxx dealer/installers. Be sure to visit SunMaxx at Solar Power International 2010, booth #4711, and see why SunMaxx Solar is “an investment with real returns.”
