REC Solar to Host Walnut Creek Solar Challenge

WALNUT CREEK, Calif.-(Business Wire)-June 18, 2008 - REC Solar, California's leading solar installation company, announced its exciting new program today, The Walnut Creek Solar Challenge. This Challenge is expected to dramatically increase the amount of solar electricity generated by residents of the community. The innovative program combines community discounts with a donation of a solar electric system to The Ruth Bancroft Garden when the goal of 100 kilowatts of solar is reached. The Ruth Bancroft Garden is deservedly recognized as one of the finest dry gardens in the world. As The Garden prepares to celebrate the Centennial Birthday of its Founder, REC Solar is honoring Ruth by building on her vision of conservation to include energy as well as water.

According to Walnut Creek resident Stuart Rowley, "Walnut Creek residents have a unique opportunity to save money on a solar installation through this community discount program. At the same time, they can help benefit the Ruth Bancroft Garden, which gets a complimentary solar system if the program target is met. With this program, Walnut Creek residents can go solar now to help save energy, reduce CO2 emissions, save money on their energy bill, and help the Ruth Bancroft Garden - how sweet is that! This program gives the incentive to act now."

"This may be the best chance for Walnut Creek residents to learn about solar and to take advantage of the community discount as well as state and federal incentives, which are rapidly decreasing or expiring," said Matthew Woods, Director of Sales at REC Solar.

For those interested in learning more about this inspiring challenge, REC Solar will be hosting an educational seminar on Thursday, June 26th at the Shadelands Arts Center Auditorium at 111 N. Wiget Lane in Walnut Creek from 7:00p.m.-8:30p.m.
