FAIRHAVEN, Calif., Oct 31, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- TrendSetter Solar Products, Inc. (Pink Sheets:TSSP) announced today that the Solar Decathlon 2007 competition results are in and the Company's product contribution supported Santa Clara University third place finish in the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Solar Decathlon.
The DOE selected twenty college and university teams from around the globe for this cutting-edge competition. These higher-education institutions participate in ten contests (architecture, engineering, market viability, communications, comfort zone, appliances, hot water, lighting, energy balance and getting around) in an unparalleled solar competition to design, build, and operate the most attractive and energy-efficient solar-powered home. A competition requirement was for the teams to transport their solar houses to the National Mall in Washington, D.C. where they assembled a solar village.
Using only energy from the sun, the teams generated enough electricity to run a modern household. With an eye on energy efficiency, the students carefully choose the systems, products, and appliances used in their houses. Santa Clara University utilized TrendSetter's Hot water heating tank in this contest and the Santa Clara team received a full 100 points (maximum in the category) placing them in first place in this category. "The use of TrendSetter's Hot Water system by the Santa Clara University team in the 2007 Solar Decathlon was an important piece of their success. The high score they received in the hot water heater category helps validate that TrendSetter has a quality product," stated TrendSetter CEO Dirk Atkinson.
