\nTransformational Leader with Established History of Driving Growth to Lead Sunworks
\n<\/h2>\n
\n

ROSEVILLE, Calif., Jan. 11, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sunworks, Inc. (Nasdaq: SUNW), a provider of solar power solutions for agriculture, commercial and industrial (ACI), public works and residential markets, today announced that the company\u2019s Board of Directors has appointed Gaylon Morris as its new Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board of Directors, effective immediately. Mr. Morris is a transformational leader with a proven record of driving revenue growth and profitability in the construction, engineering, and renewable space.<\/p>\n

Mr. Morris joins Sunworks after two decades leading large-scale engineering and construction companies through transition and growth. Prior to joining Sunworks, Mr. Morris served as Business Strategist at Rosendin Electric, one of the largest electrical contractors, where he was responsible for identifying, researching, and developing go-to-market strategies to target new market opportunities. Before Rosendin Electric, he was Senior Vice President of Operations for Strategic Growth and Market Development at Cupertino Electric, Inc. (CEI), a large, national electrical contractor. At CEI, Mr. Morris was responsible for developing and successfully implementing strategies for CEI\u2019s growth divisions, specifically in Modular Manufacturing, Renewable Energy (photovoltaics and storage), and Utility Electrical (transmission, distribution, and substation). Other previous experience includes senior executive roles at NTS Corporation, Methode Electronics and MET Laboratories, along with serving in the United States Navy, where he was a Submarine Service Reactor Plant Operator.<\/p>\n

Chuck Cargile, Sunworks\u2019 Chairman of the Board said, \u201cThe Board believes Gaylon is the ideal CEO to lead Sunworks through its next growth phase. We are impressed by his established track record of driving profitable growth and his expertise transforming organizations in the engineering and construction industries. Additionally, we are optimistic as we enter 2021 – during the fourth quarter we raised more than $34 million in cash through our at-the-market equity sales, which extinguished our shelf registration filed on May 21, 2019. Under Gaylon\u2019s leadership, we are confident that Sunworks\u2019 current backlog will be executed efficiently while he also focuses on streamlining operations and identifying strategic growth opportunities to drive higher profits, ultimately enhancing shareholder value.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Morris added, \u201cThe renewable space continues to experience expansive growth and economic support, specifically in solar power and storage. Sunworks is well-positioned with its backlog, cash balance, and rapidly expanding target market as homeowners, residential developers, commercial businesses, and municipalities consider solutions to maximize energy savings while leveraging enhanced renewable incentives. I am excited to join the Sunworks Executive Team and Board of Directors and believe we will reposition the company to capitilize on strong industry tailwinds while driving profitable, long-term growth.\u201d<\/p>\n
