Enormous Solar Power Array to be Dedicated at Real Goods Hopland on October 19, 1999; 250 Dignitaries Expected to Attend HOPLAND, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 14, 1999--Real Goods Trading Corporation (Nasdaq:RGTC)(Chicago Exchange:RGT) and the Institute for Solar Living announced the official launch of the brand new 132kw solar power array. The Solar 2000 Mendocino array is the nation's first independent commercial solar power plant directly resulting from customer choice. The array will be owned and operated by GPU Solar, Inc. and the electricity sold under a long term contract to Greenmountain.com. Real Goods Chairman and founder, John Schaeffer, said, "Not only is this project a great boom for the environment in its own right, it is also a very important demonstration effort. We expect other commercial developments to follow our example. This beautiful array, which is clearly visible from Highway 101, will become another magnet for travelers. Already 150,000 people a year visit our Solar Living Center, we expect many more next year. Further, it solidifies the community of Hopland's undisputed status as the Solar Capital of the World." The official dedication ceremony, including speakers from around the country is being held at the Solar Living Center, Tuesday, Oct. 19th from 11:00a.m.-1:30p.m. The press is encouraged to attend and private interviews with all principals can be arranged.
