SunPower Teams with Local Organizations to Celebrate Green Collar Job

                              Training Program



    SAN JOSE, Calif., July 28 /EMWNews/ -- SunPower

Corporation (Nasdaq: SPWR), a Silicon Valley-based manufacturer of

high-efficiency solar cells, solar panels and solar systems, today is

joining Sun Light & Power and non-profit organizations Solar Richmond,

Solar Living Institute and Rising Sun Energy Center to dedicate a

2-kilowatt SunPower solar system on the rooftop of EcoVillage Farm Learning

Center in Richmond, Calif. SunPower provided financial support for the

project and joins with partner organizations to celebrate green collar job

training for local youth.



    With a grant from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, Solar

Living Institute, in collaboration with Solar Richmond and Rising Sun

Energy Center, provided training to 18 students on the basics of solar

electricity and installation. Sun Light & Power then installed the SunPower

solar array at EcoVillage, with assistance from the new trainees.



    "SunPower is pleased to provide financial support for the solar array

that will benefit the EcoVillage Farm Learning Center's sustainability

goals, while providing an educational tool for its visitors," said Bobby

Ram, director of global community relations for SunPower Corp. "We are

delighted to be a part of this dedication and embrace the organization's

training program that enables local youth to learn new skills that can

offer career opportunities in the future."



    EcoVillage Farm Learning Center, which promotes environmental

conservation, restoration, and growing a socially just community, is

located on 5.6 acres of uniquely preserved, semi-rural farm land. The farm

will benefit from the solar array with an immediate 85 percent reduction on

its energy bill, and receive a new element in its farming operations that

will reinforce sustainability principles to thousands of local visitors.



    Shyaam Shabaka, founder and executive director of EcoVillage Farm,

added: "The SunPower system provides us with critical financial savings,

allowing us to expand our operations and enhance our programs."



    "We are confident that our trainees will use this hands-on solar

knowledge as they develop their careers," said Michele McGeoy, executive

director of Solar Richmond. "We commend SunPower for its commitment to the

community and for the environmental leadership they continue to demonstrate

through support of this project."
