ITEM 1.  SECURITY AND ISSUER.

This Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D dated August 16, 1996 (the
"Schedule 13D"), as previously amended by Amendment No. 2 dated
November 21, 1996, relates to the common stock par value $.10 (the
"Common Stock") of Photocomm, Inc. (the "Company"), whose principal
executive offices are located at 7681 E. Gray Road, Scottsdale,
Arizona 85260.  The Company is engaged primarily in the development,
manufacturing and marketing of photovoltaic (solar electric) power
systems and related products.

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

As previously reported on November 19, 1996, Golden Technologies
Company, Inc. ("GTC") signed a Stock Purchase Agreement (the
"Agreement") with the Company and The New World Power Corporation
("NWP") pursuant to which GTC agreed to acquire, subject to conditions
set forth in the Agreement, 6,612,447 shares of Common Stock of the
Company from NWP and 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock directly from
the Company or, if the Company elected, up to 1,000,000 shares from
certain senior executives of the Company and Programmed Land, Inc.
("PLI"), a shareholder and the balance from the Company.

The purchase occurred on November 21, 1996.  NWP sold 6,612,447 shares
for an aggregate price of $11,292,500; 1,000,000 shares were sold by
the Company and 450,000 shares of Common Stock were sold by each of
Robert Kauffman and PLI and 50,000 shares were sold by each of
Thomas C. LaVoy and Myron Anduri.  All shares were purchased for $2.75
per share.  Following the acquisition of the Common Stock pursuant to
the Agreement, GTC owned approximately 53.1 percent of the issued and
outstanding Common Stock.

Three board members of the Company designated by NWP resigned from the
Company's board of directors and were replaced by designees of GTC,
Jeffrey H. Coors, John K. Coors and Jed J. Burnham. One other director
resigned.  Accordingly, GTC selected three of six directors of the
Company.

At the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on January 31, 1997, four
designees of GTC, Jed J. Burnham, Jeffrey H. Coors, John K. Coors and
Gerrit J. Wolfaardt and three designees of the Company were elected to
the Board of Directors.  Jeffrey H. Coors was elected Chairman of the
Board.  In addition, the following GTC designees were elected as
officers of the Company: John K. Coors, President and Chief Executive
Officer; Jeffrey C. Brines, Vice President, Chief Financial Officer
and Secretary; and J. Michael Davis, Vice President.

On February 3, 1997, the Board of Directors changed its certifying
accountant by appointing Price Waterhouse LLP as independent
accountants and the Company changed its fiscal year end to a calendar
year ending on December 31 of each year.  The transition period from
September 1, 1996 to December 31, 1996 will be reported on Form 10-Q.
