LOS GATOS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 22, 2007--Akeena Solar, Inc. (OTCBB:AKNS), a leading designer and installer of solar power systems, today announced it is moving into new corporate headquarters in Los Gatos, California, taking over a landmark 20,000-square-foot facility formerly occupied by one of Silicon Valley's oldest and largest automobile dealerships. The move will enable Akeena to consolidate two current San Francisco Bay Area locations and efficiently manage its rapidly expanding West and East coast operations.

"Our move will put Akeena headquarters in a highly visible and desirable business location, helping us to better address the burgeoning Bay Area solar market while supporting our operations across the country," said Barry Cinnamon, Akeena's president and CEO. "It's a symbolic move in that just as affordable, mass-produced automobiles helped define the last century, clean and inexpensive solar power is helping characterize the new. The new, expanded facilities position us to meet the mounting demand for commercial and residential solar power systems - especially as solar power goes mainstream and becomes a retail product."

Akeena will move into facilities at the intersection of two of Silicon Valley's most highly trafficked thoroughfares, Los Gatos Boulevard and Blossom Hill Road in Los Gatos. The location was previously occupied by Swanson Ford, a long-time Bay Area motor vehicle dealership. The new headquarters will house Akeena's administrative, marketing and sales management staff, as well as research and development, warehousing, fleet and demonstration/education facilities. Akeena expects to move into these facilities at 16005 Los Gatos Boulevard in mid June, 2007.

Fast-growing Akeena earlier this month acquired Alternative Energy Inc., a solar company in California's Wine Country. In addition, in the past year the company has expanded West Coast operations to Fresno, Orange County, Bakersfield and Manteca. Akeena's Fairfield, N.J., office serves the New York metropolitan area, covering eastern Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
