This project is said to be the first of several signed CSS contracts on both the East and West coast to obtain funding. With engineering for this initial project now complete and local permits being filed, work is expected to start over the short run with the project targeted for completion in the first quarter of 2010.

The solar energy system will consist of 682-270W Suntech solar panels and two Satcom inverters. The building is owned and operated by G&S Investors of New York, a developer of properties in the tri-state area.

Gregg Wasser, CEO of G&S Investors, said: “After discussions with many other companies in the solar market, Clear Skies stood out as the best candidate for our needs. The firm has assembled an impressive in-house knowledge base that will greatly assist us in executing this and future projects. We look forward to working with the team at Clear Skies Solar.”
