SunWize Residential Power Systems Enters
Oregon Market by Opening First Office in Willamette Valley

Kingston, NY, April 1, 2009 –
The Residential Power Systems Division of the SunWize Technologies Distributed Power Group has expanded its operations into Oregon. The first branch will be located in Philomath and serve the Interstate 5 corridor between Eugene and Portland.

The Philomath office, located near Corvallis, will focus on residential projects. SunWize has recruited a team of local Oregon solar industry veterans, including Dave and Heidi Eveland, to build the business. Their five years plus experience in and knowledge of the Oregon solar electric market will be augmented by SunWize’s strengths in procurement, installation, sales and marketing.

To celebrate its expansion into the Willamette Valley, SunWize is offering a limited time discount to residential customers. Homeowners purchasing a solar electric system during the month of April will receive a special discount of $1000. Detailed information and a free site evaluation can be obtained by calling the Philomath office at

David Kaltsas, Executive Vice President of SunWize, comments, “We are excited to expand into Oregon at a time of electrifying growth and transition in the industry. We have put together a winning formula that combines the financial and operational strengths of SunWize with the technical and market understanding of the Eveland’s and their team. Oregon is positioned to become a major solar state and SunWize is proud to play a part in the creation of “green collar” jobs in Oregon as well as in accelerating the growth of the solar industry.”
