PRESS RELEASE
Lake Line Deliveries completes installation of its solar
power project.

XX DECEMBER 2011 | BY: REALGY, LLC

Lake Line Deliveries’ central warehouse is now powered by 37.5 kW of solar
energy.

Realgy, LLC today announced the completion of a 37.5 kilowatt (kW) solar photovoltaic (PV)
system for Lake Line Deliveries, a privately-held moving and storage company serving the
moving needs for Illinois and Wisconsin for 25 years.

The solar PV system was installed on the roof of the main warehouse of Lake Line Deliveries
located in Evanston, Illinois. “The roof wasn’t being used but to keep us dry” laughed Mr. Jay
Collier, President of Lake Line Deliveries. “The addition of the solar panels will generate clean
solar energy enough to satisfy most of our annual electricity requirements. It’s really exciting to
see the roof area is really exciting and builds on our sustainable commitment.”

The solar PV system was installed by Renewable Energy Alternatives of Northbrook, Illinois.
This is the first solar project that Renewable Energy Alternatives has completed for Lake Line
Deliveries. “Lake Line’s warehouse with a flat roof and southern exposure was a great building
to install solar PV system,” said Bernie Schmidt, President of Renewable Energy. “Adding solar
to the warehouse so that it will now be able to generate most of its ongoing energy needs for the
next 25 years is very exciting and a great investment.”

Realgy, LLC is an alternative energy service supplier in Illinois and is the owner of the solar PV
system. Realgy supplies Lake Line Deliveries their electricity and selected them for this
installation. Realgy paid for the installation so as to generate renewable energy locally as part of
its sustainable commitment.

The Lake Line Deliveries system will produce over 48, 907 kilowatt hours (kWh) of energy
annually and more than one million kWh over the next 25 years. That is enough energy to power
about 2 average U.S. homes every year. The environmental benefits associated with the system
will offset about 900 thousand pounds of carbon dioxide over the initial 25 years of operation.
“We are excited to announce the completion of the Lake Line Deliveries solar PV project,” said
Michael Vrtis, President of Realgy. “Realgy made this investment as a trial and looks forward to
Illinois promoting renewable energy so that we can continue to install and provide the benefits
of renewable energy to businesses in Illinois.”
