Envision Solar Commences EnvisionTrak™ and CleanCharge™ Solar Tree® Installations for Axion Power International
- Envision and Axion partner to demonstrate combined solar power, electric vehicle charging and grid storage solution
SAN DIEGO (September 29, 2010) – BUSINESS WIRE – Envision Solar International, Inc., (www.envisionsolar.com) (OTC BB:EVSI), a leading sustainable infrastructure designer and developer, announced today that it has commenced installation of electric-vehicle (EV) charging enabled solar tracking trees at Axion Power International’s (OTCBB:AXPW – News) facility in Western Pennsylvania. The installation is being financed through a Pennsylvania state grant to fund the deployment of the EnvisionTrak™ and CleanCharge™ Solar Trees®. It is expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2011.
In addition to providing Axion with clean energy, helping it meet its objectives to reduce its overall carbon footprint, the installation will enable the companies to learn more about the characteristics of solar energy in the region, and how to better tie solar energy to Axion’s Power Cube™ system. Technical focus will be on load management and power smoothing required because of variability on a day-to-day business of sunlight conditions due to, for example, cloud cover.
Envision Solar’s Solar Tree® with EnvisionTrak™is a parking lot solar array which incorporates solar tracking into the primary structure of its canopy. By tracking the movement of the sun throughout the day, a Solar Tree™ with EnvisionTrak™can produce an increase of 18 to 22% in energy output over traditional static solar arrays which generate maximum output only when the sun is at its peak, generally between noon and 3 p.m.
Bob Noble, CEO of Envision Solar, said “Combining our state-of-the-art solar trees equipped with EV chargers with Axion’s storage solution for solar power creates a truly powerful energy solution for the market, and is a key development in leveling the playing field for solar power and other conventional, base-load energy sources. Our tracker-enabled trees drive higher energy yield and stronger internal rate of return dynamics for solar projects while Axion’s storage for solar is a fantastic solution for intermittency issues. This project truly represents a comprehensive demonstration of the hyper-convergence of efficient clean energy generation, large-scale local energy storage, smart-grid and building infrastructure, and plug-in hybrid – electric vehicle charging.”

Envision Solar Enters Into Strategic Master Services Agreement With Morrow-Meadows Corporation
Announces first 300kW project and plan for extensive deployment of Park Solar℠, EnvisionTrak™ and CleanCharge™ technology under Master Services Agreement
SAN DIEGO (June 3, 2010) – Envision Solar International, Inc., (www.envisionsolar.com) (OTC BB:EVSI), a solar system designer and developer, today announced that it has entered into a Master Services Agreement (MSA) with Morrow-Meadows Corporation, a full-service contracting company with operations in Southern California, Northern California Oregon and Washington. The MSA will enable the companies to accelerate the execution of solar projects including Park Solar℠, EnvisionTrak™ and CleanCharge™ solar/electric vehicle charging stations, under work orders for their expanding pipeline of clean and renewable solar energy projects with commercial, institutional and utility customers in five western states that Morrow-Meadows serves.
Bob Noble, CEO of Envision Solar, said, “We are delighted to have formalized this MSA, which will allow us to seamlessly execute Envision’s and Morrow Meadows’ significant and growing pipeline of solar projects. This is an important strategic alliance for us. Morrow-Meadows has decades of contracting and engineering services experience, and has been involved in the construction of more than 5GW of power plants, ranging from large scale utility grade gas turbine generation to solar. In addition, our partnership with Morrow-Meadows will accelerate the broad scale deployment of our CleanCharge™ Solar Charging Stations. We believe Morrow-Meadows is a great fit for our extensive offering of innovative, architecturally superior, sustainable energy systems and this first 300kW Park Solar℠ proves it.”
Envision is pleased to announce the execution of the first work order under the MSA and has commenced design and deployment of a 300kW Park Solar project in Arizona, which will be completed in the third quarter of this year.
Under the terms of the MSA, Envision will be responsible for the solar master planning, design and development of solar projects. In addition, it will supply its ParkSolar℠ designs using Solar Tree® and Solar Grove® products, as well as CleanCharge™ and EnvisionTrak™ technology to enhance energy yield and reduce total cost of ownership for the project.
Jim Laehy, Director Business Development of Morrow-Meadows, added “Envision Solar brings world-class architectural and renewable energy project planning skills, in addition to a depth of understanding in the design and development of solar projects and some exceptional proprietary products. We expect that this will be invaluable to our collective effort under this MSA to expand our solar project pipeline and deployment over the next several years and see Envision’s expertise in the industry as a tremendous benefit to our own offering.”
