SolarCraft Installs Additional Solar for Meadow Club - Sun Continues to Shine

on Premier Marin County Golf Course

Novato and Sonoma-based SolarCraft announced the completion two additional solar energy
installations at The Meadow Club in Fairfax, CA. The renowned Marin County Golf Course
continues to increase the overall sustainability of their 90-acre course with the installation of a 235
kW DC solar photovoltaic system, reducing their operating costs by additional thousands every
month and stabilizing energy expenses for decades to come.

Novato, CA, July 09, 2018 --(PR.com)-- The photovoltaic system is ground mounted on a south facing
hillside above the maintenance building which also supports a 26 kW solar electric system installed by
SolarCraft in 2011. The new hillside system consists of 654 solar panels and will produce 382,600 kWh
annually, converting sunlight directly into electricity to power the Club House and Ag Pump and
offsetting their yearly energy consumption by more than 60%.

SolarCraft also installed a 17 kW solar electric system on the Club's Golf Storage Facility earlier this
year, powering their electric golf carts with clean, renewable electricity. Furthermore, a solar powered
water heating system for their pool was installed by SolarCraft in 2017 and helps maintain an average
water temperature of 80 degrees from April to October. Meadow Club members can now enjoy
swimming in warm water heated by the sun. “Working with SolarCraft has been a terrific experience, this
is now our fourth solar installation with them and we continue to be impressed with their expertise and
professionalism,” stated Jack Grehan, Meadow Club General Manager.

Meadow Club's long history of conservation & environmental stewardship work is also highlighted by
their participation as one of the first golf courses to participate in a program engaging the golf community
in conservation efforts for the threatened monarch butterfly.

During the life of their combined solar power systems, over 331 tons of carbon dioxide generated by
Meadow Club's operations will be eliminated every year. This impact is equivalent to removing air
pollution produced by more than 20 million miles of driving over 25 years or the pollutants removed by
389 acres of trees in one year. The nearly maintenance-free system should pay for itself within 5-6 years,
and last over 30 years.
