Redshift Energy funds TEVA Energy for Growth in Large-Scale Commercial
and Industrial Solar Heating Markets
Burr Ridge, IL — December 2, 2011— Redshift Energy and TEVA Energy announced a funding agreement today that will enable TEVA Energy to expand its reach into the large-scale commercial and industrial distributed solar-heating markets in key geographic areas. TEVA deploys its proprietary line of cost-effective solar heating (i.e. thermal solar) technologies in combination with turn-key solutions and sale-of-heat financing (a.k.a. thermal PPA or energy lease).
"We are elated to become an investor in TEVA Energy," said Roger Hruby, CEO of Redshift Energy, LLC. "We believe in the TEVA team and their ability to provide innovative, cost effective solutions and outstanding service to the solar hot water market. Remo Eyal has assembled an impressive team."
Remo Eyal, CEO of TEVA Energy, added, "2011 has been a remarkable year. Our strong sales growth during a down economy proved the strength of TEVA's unique offering and flawless execution team. Redshift's funding enables TEVA to further increase its growth rate by scaling its offering to key geographic areas across North America."
TEVA's cost-effective solar heating technologies enable TEVA Energy to provide renewable energy to commercial and industrial facilities at rates below equivalent fossil-fuel energy rates. At its own expense, TEVA designs, builds, and maintains its systems at clients' facilities such as hospitals, hotels, and processing facilities. Clients pay only for metered energy, saving money and carbon emissions from day one without risk or capital expense.
"The Redshift team has been a pleasure to work with throughout the investment process," said Eyal. "Their solar heating expertise sped up the process, but it was their integrity and good-natured cooperation that sealed the deal for us. They're the kind of people with whom you simply want to do business."

BURR RIDGE, IL – Redshift Energy LLC is pleased to announce the acquisition of Superior Solar Systems LLC on Monday, January 26, 2009.
Superior Solar is a leading solar energy design and installation firm specializing in solar pool heaters, solar water heaters and photovoltaic systems used for producing solar electricity. Serving commercial, institutional and residential markets, the company has been in operation for more than 25 years. It's located in Longwood, Florida, a suburb of Orlando.

Solar energy is receiving a boost from the growing demand for alternative energy sources. New policies and incentive programs from state and federal governments are making the electricity derived from photovoltaic systems competitive with that from fossil fuels. These incentives include the renewal of key federal tax credits and the elimination of the cap on these tax credits. As a result, many individuals and businesses are considering alternative energy sources and making investments to reduce pollution and U.S. reliance on fossil fuels purchased abroad.
