SolarCraft Appoints New Chief Executive Officer - The North Bay’s Leading

Clean Energy Provider Strengthens Leadership Team

Novato and Sonoma-based SolarCraft, the North Bay’s largest and most enduring solar and clean
energy provider, announced today the appointment of Galen Torneby as Chief Executive Officer.
Mr. Torneby has deep expertise in the solar industry and brings decades of experience in the
broader energy and construction fields to his new role, having previously served as Chief Operating
Officer at SolarCraft.

Novato, CA, August 26, 2019 --(PR.com)-- Mr. Torneby has held leadership roles at several
industry-leading renewable energy companies and was recruited by former CEO Ted Walsh to succeed
him in the role, returning SolarCraft to its roots as an "operations and service-led company." Mr. Walsh's
leadership and client-focused approach, combined with his commitment to serving the long-term interests
of the company and employee/partners were crucial in solidifying SolarCraft's growth and position in the
North Bay clean energy market.

“As a 100% Employee-Owned company, everyone at SolarCraft shares the same title, Partner, so my role
will only change slightly,” says Ted Walsh. “I am looking forward to doing what I initially joined
SolarCraft to do; develop solar, battery storage and other clean energy projects that deliver the most
financial and environmental benefit possible to our clients and leading client and community engagement
for the most significant clean energy provider in our community.”

As he rebuilds his own Calistoga home lost in the 2017 North Bay Wildfires, Torneby takes the reigns at
an exciting time for SolarCraft and the local energy industry. SolarCraft is one of the region's largest
"clean-tech" employers and installs more solar than any other locally-based provider, and is well
positioned to be the leader in battery energy storage in the wake of the wildfires and PG&E bankruptcy.
“I am thankful for the opportunity to lead a great team as we continue to ensure SolarCraft remains the
safest and most customer centric clean energy company in the North Bay,” says Torneby. “So many of
our projects are referral projects with customers happy to give praise for a job well done. I look forward
to working with all of our existing and future customers as we build a more sustainable and resilient
community.”

Mr. Torneby is a certified Professional Project Manager and CSLB license holder with a passion for
renewable energy and sustainability. He brings a broad range of expertise and experience to SolarCraft,
including the design/build of hundreds of megawatts of Solar PV worldwide and leading project
development and project delivery for both local solar installers and vertically integrated global
manufacture's like SunPower and First Solar. Prior to joining SolarCraft, Galen most recently held the
position of Head of Department-Solar EMEA for DNV-GL, the world's leading engineering and technical
advisory firm for renewable energy.

SolarCraft is 100% Employee-Owned and one of the largest green-tech employers in the North Bay for
over 35 years. SolarCraft delivers Solar and Clean Energy Solutions for homes and businesses including
Solar Electric, Solar Pool Heating and Battery/Energy Storage. With over 7,000 local customers, our team
