(OTCBB:WWAT), a developer and marketer of proprietary high-power solar systems, has been invited by the U.S. House of Representatives, Small Business Committee, Subcommittee on Contracting and Technology to testify as an expert witness on the solar industry. The hearing, entitled "Small Business Renewable Energy Tax Incentive Possibilities" will be held September 26 at 9:30 a.m. at the Rayburn House Office Building. The Subcommittee is considering changes in the IRS code to promote renewable energy development and production among small businesses to help move the U.S. away from foreign sources of petroleum.

Solar is quickly becoming a major component in business and government strategy across the country to fight soaring energy costs and keep U.S. industries competitive. Solar is now mainstream, cost-efficient and practical, and is being embraced by state and federal legislatures as a renewable energy source that leaves no dirty carbon footprint, improving air and water quality," said Kelly.
