Solar3D's Operating Division Secures $4 Million During Spree of Deals

SANTA BARBARA, CA--(Marketwired - October 22, 2015) - Solar3D, Inc. (NASDAQ: SLTD), a provider of solar power solutions, announced today that its operating subsidiary SUNworks, has secured three large deals resulting in $4 million in sales, demonstrating the Company's expanding footprint and providing a strong indication of what the Company believes will continue to be strong month-over-month growth.

Commerce Printing, a full service printing company based in Sacramento, contracted SUNworks for the design and installation of an approximately 644kW Sunpower Roof Mount solar system. The $1.54 million agreement is expected to generate over $4 million in energy cost savings over a 25-year period.

DeRuosi Nut is a walnut processing facility located in California's central valley in Escalon. SUNworks will implement a 450kW roof mount Canadian Solar system designed to achieve energy cost savings of more than $2.6 million over a 25-year period.

The third announced project is yet another to fall within the Company's exploding agricultural practice area. The partnership with Joe Heidrick Enterprises marks the fourth and fifth systems implemented by SUNworks for Heidrick, a well-known entrepreneur in the Sacramento region. The Company will provide the organization with two solar systems, a 151.2kW roof mount and a 428.4 roof mount and canopy. Both projects will total a contract size of approximately $1.6 million, and generate well over $5 million in energy savings over a 25-year period.

"We are pleased that the progress in terms of project and sales volume achieved over the summer has continued into the fall, exemplified by these three deals," said Jim Nelson, CEO of Solar3D. "It is important to note that these three agreements, diverse in both organization type and of the systems to be installed, showcase SUNworks' depth of experience and customized approach to solar solutions. This is a key factor for why we expect to maintain our growth within the agricultural, commercial, and residential sectors, ultimately driving Company revenue and shareholder value," said Mr. Nelson.
