Solar3D's SUNworks Division Contracted by Several California-Based Agricultural Companies for Solar System Installation

SANTA BARBARA, CA--(Marketwired - July 16, 2015) - Solar3D, Inc. (NASDAQ: SLTD), a leading provider of solar power solutions and the developer of a proprietary high efficiency solar cell, announced today that its operating division SUNworks has been contracted by multiple California-based agricultural organizations to implement over 700 kilowatts in solar power. The contracts total approximately $1,500,000 in sales and are designed to achieve over $9 million in cost savings for the customers over the next 25 years.

Danamark Walnut, a prominent farming organization in Central California since 1930, produces high-quality walnuts from two locations, Stockton and Linden. The company prides itself on being environmentally friendly, as their orchards cleanse the planet's air of over 10,000 tons of carbon dioxide each year. Danamark Walnut's request for a rooftop 368.2kW Huller system and rooftop 111.6kw office system reflects their commitment to sustainability within the region, while the projects are expected to provide the farm approximately $4.5 million in energy cost-savings over the next 25 years.

Established in 1958, Bear River Supply serves its clients in the agricultural, turf and ornamental industries with crop nutrients, crop protection products and services. In order to reduce long-term and short-term energy costs, the company requested SUNworks install a 46.4kW roof panel for their supply house in Rio Oso, CA.

Family-owned and operation COE Orchard Equipment has been depended on by farms in the region as a leading manufacturer of top-of-the-line orchard equipment. SUNworks will be tasked with the installation of a 192.3kW DC Roof Mount designed to achieve more than $4.2M in cost savings over the next 25 years.

"The strongest indication of our agricultural success throughout the California region is the volume of incoming and organic leads we are generating," said Abe Emard, CEO of SUNworks. "Farmers are a very intelligent demographic with equal emphasis on being cost-minded and ensuring sustainability throughout their region. Our team understands the needs and motivations of those within the industry, especially in California and Nevada, which has resulted in a strong relationship between our brand and the high-growth agricultural sector."
