Akeena Solar (AKNS) Converts Silver Mountain Vineyards to 100% Solar Energy

July 1, 2009 7:54 AM EDT
Akeena Solar, Inc. (Nasdaq: AKNS) announced the installation of its award winning Andalay solar panel system at Silver Mountain Vineyards, a certified organic vineyard and winery nestled in the Santa Cruz Mountains in Northern California.

The 46-kilowatt system incorporates 264 Andalay solar panels and will generate 100 percent of the winery's electricity needs. The panels, which are situated on a newly built 6,000 square foot roof, serve as an integral part of Silver Mountain's "Triple Green Project," an innovative multi-use project designed to curb the winery's electricity and water use. The roof will shade the winery and reduce refrigeration requirements, as well as contributing to a new rainwater collection system and fully support the energy requirements of the winery operations, office and residence.
