FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Bellingham, Wash. August 30, 2007 - A national leader in turnkey photovoltaic systems and a member of The Alpha Group, Alpha Energy announces the introduction of a solar charging station designed for electric scooters.
“This Solar Charging Station lets people take their short commute completely off the grid,” said Ray Kosanke, National Sales Manager for Alpha Energy. “People buy an electric vehicle to save money on gas and minimize their carbon footprint, but they still need to plug that vehicle into the century-old fossil-fueled power grid. Now we are at the point where we can harvest free power from the sun.”

Alpha Energy’s EV Charging Station is a scalable system combining Alpha PV panels with a power converter and charger to provide the necessary energy to recharge an electric scooter. The Charging Station structure also serves as a protective structure protecting your electric scooter from the damaging effects of the weather.

This and other innovative Alpha Energy concepts will be on display in booth 436 at Solar Power 2007, in Long Beach, California, Sept 24-27.

Alpha Energy, a member of the Alpha Group and a subdivision of Alpha Technologies, is a full-service engineering and project development company for the distributed generation power industry. One of the nation’s leading developers of turnkey photovoltaic systems for commercial, residential, institutional and remote (off-grid) applications, Alpha Energy is recognized as a market innovator in packaging renewable energy technologies.
