FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Phoenix, Ariz., May 25, 2010 - Located at 1628 W Williams Drive, Alpha Energy, member of worldwide power systems provider The Alpha Group, in collaboration with the Arizona Game & Fish department, are planning a ribbon-cutting ceremony to showcase the 191 kilowatt rooftop solar power system installed and commissioned in Fall 2009.

The grid-tied solar power system consists of (1,092) roof-mounted photovoltaic panels, connected to four inverters. A complete web-interface and weather monitoring system features auto-alerts to help ensure optimal system performance at all times.

As part of a comprehensive plan to help the government building achieve Platinum LEED Status, the roof-mounted solar power system provides 20% of the agencies annual power consumption, according the Fred Bloom, Chief Engineer Development Branch for Arizona Game & Fish.

Since its commissioning in September of last year, the agency’s solar power system has generated more than 187,000 kilowatt-hours. This has prevented the emissions of more than 232,000 lbs of Carbon Dioxide, 384 lbs of Nitrogen Oxide and 635 lbs of Sulfur Dioxide.

This emissions offset is equivalent to:

• Operating a television set for 1.2 million hours
• Powering 1,436 computers and 10 homes for one year
• Driving an average passenger car for more than 23 years

The ribbon-cutting ceremony will take place on May 26 around 9am, at the Arizona Game & Fish Headquarters, located at 5000 West Carefree Highway in Phoenix. Members of the media and the general public are invited to attend.
