DCL Becomes the First to Operate a Solar Power Energy System in Fremont

FREMONT, CA, June 19, 2007 - In yesterday's dedication ceremony, DCL was recognized by the City of Fremont for their environmental stewardship. Council member, Steve Cho and Economic Development Coordinator, Angela Tsui, attended the ceremony and awarded DCL a certificate of honor.

DCL started working with REgrid on the design of the system last November. Installation of a 76 kilowatt solar power system on its 75,000 sq ft headquarters building on Milmont Drive began in April. This solar energy system will provide at least 36% of all the annual energy consumption for the facility.

The CEO and President of DCL are Chinese brothers Norman Tu and David Tu. At the dedication ceremony, Norman noted, "The installation of this solar energy system will greatly lower our energy consumption, but the most important thing is that DCL is acting as a pioneer on environment conservation in the supply chain and manufacturing industry."

DCL will sell any excess electricity that is generated during the weekends to PG&E. The total investment for the system is $500,000 and a full return on investment is expected within five years. Norman expressed his optimism about the usage of solar energy, stating, "California is an ideal place to have recyclable solar energy due to the large number of sunny days each year."
