Hole in the Wall Enterprises Completes Solar Project

ALAMOSA, CO--(Marketwire - March 21, 2008) - Hole in the Wall Enterprises, based in Alamosa, Colorado, has just completed an 8.6kW solar electric system installation. Astralux Power Systems provided design, engineering, and installation services for this solar project.

Owned by Darin and Regina Curley, Hole in the Wall will now run completely on solar energy, as 100% of their electricity needs are met by this solar power system. This commercial system is comprised of industry leading Sharp Solar Panels which will benefit from Colorado's 300-plus days of sunlight per year.

"We are proud to have Hole in the Wall Enterprises as our first commercial project in the city of Alamosa," says Dr. Rande Treece, CEO of Astralux. "We also commend Darin and Regina Curley for their efforts to create a truly green business with this 100% offset solar energy system."

The positive environmental impacts of this system are impressive. Over the warranted life of the system, it will offset over 500,000 pounds of CO2 (greenhouse) emissions and prevent over 250,000 pounds of coal being burned.

Utility rebates and federal tax credits and benefits will pay over 90% of the cost of this system. This is made possible by the incredible federal tax benefits available for commercial buildings and the Xcel Energy Solar Rewards program. This system will also save the Curleys tens of thousands of dollars in electricity costs and protect them against future increasing energy costs.

Astralux Power Systems Expands Energy Partner Program To Denver

BOULDER, CO--(Marketwire - February 13, 2008) - Astralux Power Systems, a Division of Astralux, has announced that they will be expanding their Energy Partners program to the greater Denver area. This program, which will be introduced at the 2008 Denver Garden and Home Show (February 16 - 24 at the Colorado Convention Center), gives owners of "solar feasible" homes and businesses the opportunity to install solar energy with virtually no money out-of-pocket. The program also provides a complete energy efficiency solution -- providing a full energy audit, low energy light bulbs, and a comprehensive monitoring report to ensure the productivity of the solar energy system.

A Boulder, Colorado-based company, Astralux has been rapidly expanding their program throughout the state. With local financial partner Bank of the West, Astralux provides a turnkey financing solution -- a catalyst to the widespread adoption of solar energy. "Our goal from day one was to drive solar energy beyond the 'early adopters' to benefit any rebate-eligible home or business owner," says Jesse Malcomb, Director of Operations, "and the response thus far has been remarkable."

"We want the community to understand that 'going solar' is now a sound financial investment," explains Fred T. Martin, Director of Sales and Marketing. "The Astralux Energy Partners Program™ was developed with the philosophy that our communities want to help the environment, but it must also make financial sense."

Astralux is currently in the process of expanding their programs into new 'solar friendly' states, such as Arizona, Texas, and Nevada in 2009 and New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York by 2010. "The Power Systems group is dedicated to bringing solar energy to the mass market," says Dr. Rande Treece, CEO of Astralux, "and our Energy Partner programs allow this widespread market to adopt this wonderful technology with practically any budget."
