Envision Solar Announces Profitable Quarter
Profits at the Gross Margin Line Validate the Strategy
SAN DIEGO (August 4, 2011) – Envision Solar International, Inc., (www.envisionsolar.com) (OTC BB:EVSI), a leading sustainable infrastructure product designer and developer, today announced that the company was profitable in the 2nd quarter of FY2011. The company recorded net income of $381,450, or $0.01 per share, for the quarter. Envision Solar produced gross profit margins from installations in the North East and South West of the United States, further demonstrating the universal appeal of EnvisionTrak™ Solar Tree® structures and the company’s ability to execute across a broad market.
Envision Solar’s President and CEO, Desmond Wheatley, said, “Our decision to focus on Park Solar and the huge opportunity in solar shaded parking is paying off. We’ve demonstrated that we can deploy our highly engineered and architected Solar Tree® structures anywhere and that we can do so profitably at the gross margin line. The standardization we have brought to the product line and our process-driven deployment methodology allow for significant scale and operating leverage. The whole team is focused on the profitable deployment of our products. The hard work is starting to pay off.”
Company Founder Robert Noble stated: “Desmond and our management team have built a strong platform for growth in the months and years to come. We’re proving that our beautiful, infrastructure quality Smart Tree™ with EnvisionTrak™ tracking technology not only generates clean energy and lots of shade, but also excellent margins and now profits for our shareholders.”

Axion initially plans to take advantage of the Solar Tree® structures to charge Electric Vehicles during the day with any excess generated electricity being fed into their patented and unique storage system. The storage solution will power the factility’s street and parking lights at night. .
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. 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 President Desmond Wheatley said, “The integration of Axion’s powerful storage solution with our iconic smart Solar Tree® shaded parking products takes us a giant leap closer to solving for the much touted intermittency of solar generation. As we see improvements in the nations electric grid and a move to the smart grid, solar’s intermittency will become less and less of a concern. In the meantime, we are bridging the gap with partners like Axion. We’re proud and thrilled to have our products deployed in a project that will deliver clean renewable solar energy 24 hours a day.”

Reno Contracting Selects Envision Solar to Partner on Delivering Solar Tree® Solar Powered
Charging Stations for Electric Vehicles
SAN DIEGO (March 29, 2011) – Reno Contracting announced today that it has entered into a strategic alliance with Envision Solar, (www.envisionsolar.com) (OTC BB:EVSI), a leading sustainable infrastructure designer and developer deploying clean energy systems globally. Under the alliance, Reno will construct Envision’s Solar Tree® integrated solar parking arrays, including EnvisionTrak™ tracking technology and CleanCharge™ system-integrated charging stations for electric vehicles, in locations throughout the southwest United States. Plans call for a first project during Q2 2011, followed by an accelerated multi-location rollout at corporate and commercial campuses through this year and beyond.
Envision’s Solar Tree® with integrated EnvisionTrak™ and CleanCharge™ systems together comprise a highly engineered parking area solar array charging system that is 20 to 25% more productive than conventional fixed solar photovoltaic systems. This increase is achieved by incorporating hybrid multi – access tracking, which enables the solar panels to follow the sun throughout the day. Energy from the panels will be used to charge electric vehicles or delivered to the power grid. Feeding all excess solar energy back into the power grid supports the State of California’s mandate of reaching 33% renewable energy by 2020.
Under the agreement, Reno Contracting will assist Envision in refining procurement of project materials; logistics for fabrication and delivery; entitlement and permitting; master scheduling; pricing; construction management and other construction related services. The company also will provide its extensive energy efficiency expertise.
The new alliance is the latest example of Reno Contracting’s commitment to providing energy efficient/sustainable contracting services through its energy efficiency division, Reno Efficient Sustainable Practices (www.renoesp.com). The company’s selection of Envision Solar is a response to anticipated dramatic growth in both the solar and the electric vehicle market over the next decade, as well as a shared vision and philosophy, according to Reno Contracting President Walt Fegley.
Last year, leading companies, including Staples, Frito Lay and Aramark, introduced all-electric fleet vehicles and have plans to add to their fleets in 2011, Fegley noted. Companies like these, as well as any business or educational institution that wants to provide an all-electric vehicle option, must have a green solution for their charging needs; plugging into a grid-tied outlet isn’t the solution, he said.
“Envision Solar’s EnvisionTrak™ and CleanCharge™ systems provide a viable, clean-powering way forward in the face of instability surrounding global oil markets,” said Fegley. “The system addresses criticism that electric vehicles charged solely from the power grid are using energy created in large part from burning coal or other fossil fuels, and therefore are creating greenhouse gases. Electric vehicles that are charged at the CleanCharge™ system can truly be considered zero emission vehicles.
