    Dow Jones Partners with SunPower to Build 4.1-Megawatt Solar Power System One of the nation's largest corporate solar power systems SOUTH BRUNSWICK, N.J. and SAN JOSE, Calif., June 21, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX News Network/ -- Dow Jones & Company and SunPower Corp. (Nasdaq: SPWRA, SPWRB) today announced that SunPower has been selected to install a high-efficiency solar power system totaling 4.1 megawatts at Dow Jones' corporate offices in central New Jersey. The system will include 3.6 megawatts of elevated solar panels above parking areas and a 522-kilowatt rooftop installation. When completed early next year, the system will be one of the nation's largest solar power installations operating at a corporate site, and is expected to generate the equivalent of 15 percent of current electricity needs for Dow Jones' South Brunswick campus. "Renewable energy is part of a sustainable business plan for Dow Jones," said Dean DelVecchio, the company's chief information officer and chief administrative officer. "With solar energy, Dow Jones is helping the environment and its business at the same time." A publisher of news and business information around the globe, Dow Jones maintains a 200-acre campus on U.S. Route 1 in South Brunswick, N.J. Nearly 2,000 people work at the facility, Dow Jones's largest. At the site, SunPower is installing SunPower T5 Solar Roof Tile, the solar industry's first non-penetrating rooftop product that combines a high-efficiency SunPower solar panel, frame and mounting system into a single pre-engineered unit. Tilted at a five-degree angle, the T5 Roof Tile system approximately doubles the energy generated per square meter compared with other systems that are mounted flat onto commercial rooftops.
