SolarCraft Completes Solar Power System at New Life Christian Center; Novato

Church Goes Solar and Cuts Energy Expenses

Novato and Sonoma based SolarCraft, a leading North Bay solar installer for over 35 years,
recently completed the installation of a 111 kW DC solar system at New Life Christian Center in
Novato, CA. The system is designed to offset close to 93% of their annual utility bills for the church
and school facilities. New Life is reducing their operating costs by thousands every month and
stabilizing energy expenses for decades to come.

Novato, CA, August 28, 2018 --(PR.com)-- The solar power system is roof mounted for maximum
southern sun exposure and consists of 309 high-efficiency solar panels, producing 155,996 kWh annually.
Excess power generated during the day is banked by PG&E for credit towards future use.

The church is displaying community leadership by promoting environmental responsibility through the
implementation of the solar photovoltaic system, but also recognizes the importance of managing
operation costs wherever possible. SolarCraft presented to the Church new financing options which are
very favorable for non-profits and deliver sound financial returns.

SolarCraft presented very favorable financing options, which allow non-profits to benefit from federal
incentives. With a lease or PPA, the provider is able to monetize federal incentives and passes the
benefits through to non-profits via lower lease payments, or as in a PPA, lower contracted utility rates.
Additionally, leases and PPAs are designed to minimize or eliminate initial up-front costs, making solar
immediately affordable for non-profits that want to be green.

During the life of the system, over 6 million pounds of carbon dioxide generated by New Life Christian
Center's operations will be eliminated. This impact is equivalent to removing air pollution produced by
nearly 10 million miles of driving over 25 years or the pollutants removed by 53 acres of trees in one
year.
