Akeena Solar Reaches Coast to Coast With Expansion Into Connecticut

Nation's Leading Solar Installer Answers the Call in Rapidly Growing Market

LOS GATOS, Calif., Aug. 5, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Responding to consumer demand and a booming residential solar market in New England, Akeena Solar (Nasdaq:AKNS), one of the United States' leading solar installers, today announced it will expand its operations into Connecticut. The new location at 435 Boston Post Road, Milford, Conn., is the tenth office opened by Akeena Solar.

The company has already completed more than 40 installations in Connecticut, and due to the recent passage of new rebates in Connecticut and rising electricity costs, the demand for Akeena Solar's award-winning beautifully designed, high performance Andalay panels is rapidly growing.

"The thriving New England solar market is proving that California isn't the only state where it makes sense to go solar. Connecticut and the tri-state area is poised to become one of the major adopters of solar power in the nation," said Barry Cinnamon, CEO of Akeena Solar. "Connecticut, like many areas around the country, has been hit with skyrocketing energy costs at home and at the pump. We look forward to helping homeowners go solar and bring down those costs with clean, renewable solar power."

Beyond the obvious financial and environmental advantages of switching to solar, Akeena's Andalay solar power systems offers homeowners a sleek, attractive panel that has resonated with thousands of California homeowners concerned with putting bulky, ordinary solar panels on their roofs.
