LOUISVILLE, Colo., Sept. 30, 2014 -- RGS Energy

(Nasdaq:RGSE), the "Company" or "RGS," a nationwide provider of turnkey
solar energy solutions for residential and commercial customers, announced
today its strategy to focus on its core residential solar engineering,
procurement and construction business. To provide greater financial
resources for its Residential and Sunetric business segments, the Company
decided today to exit its legacy, large commercial business segment. The
Company will present the results of its commercial business segment as
Discontinued Operations in its Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
September 30, 2014 and for prior periods.

Dennis Lacey, RGS' CEO, stated: "As we believe our best opportunity for
improved future financial performance rests with our Residential and
Sunetric business segments, we have made the strategic decision to exit the
large commercial business segment. This decision will have a positive impact
upon our future cash from operations as well as improving the Company's
profit margin. We are taking actions to monetize the value of this business
segment. We will complete our existing large commercial construction
contracts in progress in the ordinary course of business in the coming
months. Although we will no longer be pursuing large solar commercial
projects, we will continue in our Residential and Sunetric business segments
to operate in the small commercial solar customer segment, generally under
200kW in size. For instance, oftentimes our Residential solar customers own
a small business and we also provide solar solutions for their business
facilities. We believe the small commercial segment is an opportunity for
future profitable growth."
