SUDBURY, Monday, April 11, 2011 — Forest & Lawn announced today it has signed
an agreement with Grasshopper Solar Corporation of Toronto to become the official
reseller of their turn-key engineered solar systems in Northern Ontario.

Forest & Lawn, Sudbury’s premier provider of outdoor lawn care and forestry equipment
said the partnership was a strategic fit that will allow Northern Ontario residents access to
the best solar equipment in the province.“After considerable research we concluded that
Grasshopper Solar far exceeds its competitors in terms of delivering the highest rates of
return to families and businesses looking to invest in solar systems,” said Chris Laking,
owner of Forest & Lawn. “As the official reseller of Grasshopper Solar systems in
Northern Ontario, we will now be able to assist individuals looking to participate in the
Feed In Tariff program selling power back to the government and seeing returns as high
as $12,000 per year.”

Grasshopper Solar, the first and largest Canadian Company to deliver turnkey solar
power solutions for the Ontario Power Authority microFIT program was excited about
the opportunity to work with such a well established company to better reach their
Northern Ontario customers. “As we evaluated our expansion strategy, it was clear that
partnering with Chris Laking, who has run numerous businesses in the Sudbury area for
over 30 years, was a great fit,” said Dan Beresford, Vice President of Grasshopper Solar.
“Aside from his business background Chris has been an early adopter of solar power
since the 1990’s. We are very excited about our future in Northern Ontario now that
Forest & Lawn and Chris Laking are part of our team.”
