The Projects for the Housing Authority of the County of Monterey (HAMC) Total 210 Kilowatts ROSEVILLE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Yes! Solar Solutions, a wholly owned subsidiary of Solar Power, Inc. (“SPI”) (OTCBB:SOPW), is scheduled to begin construction on three contracts executed by SPI with The Housing Authority of Monterey County (HAMC) in Salinas, California. The three developments are located in various parts of Monterey County and ultimately represent 166 apartment units and associated common areas. The photovoltaic (PV) solar systems being designed and installed by Yes! Solar Solutions will provide a combined total of 210 kilowatts of photovoltaic (PV) powered electricity and will serve the electricity needs of most of the apartment units and the common areas of the three developments. The three developments are formally known as The Monterey Street Apartments, Fanoe Vista Apartments and the Benito Street Apartments and are located within the communities of Soledad and Gonzalez in Monterey County, California. “These projects represent a continuation of our work within the affordable housing industry and with HAMC,” said Todd Lindstrom, President of Yes! Solar, Inc. “Most recently we completed a retrofit project for HAMC, converting their Rippling River development in Carmel Valley, California to PV solar with a 32 kilowatt system. To date, including new buildings and retrofits, our company has completed nine major affordable housing developments representing approximately three quarters of a megawatt of installed and contracted PV solar systems,” Mr. Lindstrom concluded. “Yes! Solar Solutions has done a great job for us, and because of our positive experience with photovoltaic solar systems on our developments, we are planning to include solar in all of our future projects,” said Starla Warren, Director of Development, with The Housing Authority of Monterey County. “In addition to the environmental benefits solar delivers, the economical sustainability of photovoltaic solar allows us to better serve our constituency,” Ms. Warren added.
