Clear Skies Group, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Clear Skies Solar, Inc. (OTCBB:CSKH) today announced it has contracted to install a $6.4 million, 1 Megawatt (MW) project in California’s Mojave Desert.
Clear Skies Group specializes in turnkey installation of commercial photovoltaic (PV) solar systems and residential systems.
"We welcomed the challenges presented to us by this unique project," said Ezra Green, CEO of Clear Skies Solar (CSS), adding that the ground-mounted system will be built utilizing proprietary technology developed by CSS.
Jay Sprague, President of California Sunrise, a project developer that has been working with CSS exclusively in the pursuit of both commercial and municipal large-scale projects, noted, "Ezra has brought financially and technologically innovative techniques to this industry, and these allowed this project to become viable. Working with CSS has also opened up a wide range of additional projects that we plan to develop with CSS in the future."
The Mojave project is currently undergoing final engineering and finance. With the land already procured, construction can begin immediately upon final permitting, which is anticipated to occur in the second quarter of 2008, according to a release. Green expects the project to be completed by the end of the year, he says.
With the increasing interest in solar energy among public and private entities alike, Green concluded, "There is no better place than the desert for maximizing the power of sunlight."
