N.C., Oct. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Remodel Auction, Inc. (OTC: REMD),
announced today operation of its proprietary online competitive
bidding system for solar installation solutions. North Carolina
passed senate Bill 3 to become the 25th state, the first in the
Southeast, to enact a mandatory renewable energy and energy
efficiency portfolio standard (REPS) into law. This NC REPS law
will result in approximately 30 megawatts of new solar power
installations by 2010 and 300 megawatts by 2018, up from less than
1 megawatt of installed capacity at the end of 2007. This
represents growth of over 300 times the current market size in NC
by 2018. In February, 2009 President Obama, as part of the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act, approved $8 billion in funding for
the Weatherization Assistance Program and the State Energy Program.
According to the United States Department of Energy, these programs
will put 87,000 Americans to work and save families hundreds of
dollars per year in energy bills. Erik Lensch, co-founder and
President of Argand Energy Solutions states, "We welcome the
opportunity to join the Remodel Auction provider network which
gives us the opportunity for more business." Remodel Auction
