Akeena Solar, one of the United States' largest solar installers, today announced that its Andalay solar panel was selected as a Cool Product Award Winner by the 2008 Pacific Coast Builders Conference. More than 675 homebuilding professionals singled out the sleek, high-performance solar panel from about 125 green product submissions and only 15 winners were chosen from a total of three categories.
In its sixth year, the PCBC Cool Product competition highlights achievements in innovation and creativity in the increasingly crowded home building products marketplace. This year's conference will have a special focus on green building -- a market segment expected to account for $12 billion in revenue this year.
"We are thrilled that PCBC recognized Andalay as one of this year's cool products," said Barry Cinnamon, founder and CEO of Akeena Solar.

Andalay offers a reliable, high performance solar power system that is also beautiful, sleek and elegant to homeowners who are no longer satisfied with ordinary, bulky panels."
