(NASDAQ:SUNW), a provider of solar power and battery storage solutions for residential, agriculture, commercial, industrial, and public works markets, today announced the appointment of Patrick C.

He has a degree in Mechanical Engineering and an MBA from the University of Notre Dame.

We welcome Patrick to the Board and look forward to benefitting from his expertise."
"The solar industry appears to be entering a period of accelerated growth, as consumer demand, improved efficiency of the solutions and the availability of affordable panels and batteries has converged to make solar an economic as well as environmental benefit for consumers and businesses," commented Mr. McCullough.
