SolarCraft Completes Solar Power Installation at Sonoma Community Center -

Local Community Center Goes Solar & Saves

Novato and Sonoma based SolarCraft recently completed the installation of an

87 kW DC solar installation at Sonoma Community Center in Sonoma, CA. The photovoltaic (PV)
system is expected to offset over 70% of their utility bills, helping the Center save over $26,000 in
electrical costs every year.

Novato, CA, December 04, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Designed and installed by SolarCraft, a leading North Bay
solar installer for over 35 years, the solar photovoltaic system is roof mounted and designed to produce
120,271 kilowatt hours annually. The Sonoma Community Center is taking a leadership role in
sustainability, contributing to the community's environmental and economic health, providing a cleaner
energy future for years to come. Not only are they lowering their carbon footprint, but they are easing
pressure on the local power grid.

“The Sonoma Community Center is proud to partner with SolarCraft in updating our building with the
newest solar technology while preserving its important historic character. The entire installation from
start to finish went very smooth and SolarCraft's team did a fantastic job keeping us updated throughout
every phase of the project,” according to Josh Cutler, the Center's Director of Operations. “One of our
goals at the Center is to promote sustainable and green initiatives, incorporating renewable energy
through our new solar installation is an important step for the Center in demonstrating opportunities for
sustainable solutions in the Sonoma Valley.“

SolarCraft offers unique financing options specifically for non-profits, which eliminates high upfront
costs. The finance payments are typically less than paying PG&E, so the projects are saving money
immediately. Along with reducing their own carbon footprint, nonprofits can be leaders in educating their
partners and clients about the importance of environmental conservation.

During the life of the system, almost 5 million pounds of carbon dioxide generated by the Sonoma
Community Center's operations will be eliminated. This impact is equivalent to removing air pollution
produced by more than 7.5 million miles of driving over 25 years or the pollutants removed by 40 acres
of trees in one year.
