Clear Skies Solar Signs $1.7 Million Agreement to Provide Renewable Energy for California Dairy Farm

Clear Skies Solar Signs $1.7 Million Agreement to Provide Renewable Energy for California Dairy Farm
Solar Installation Will Provide Energy for Scott Brothers Dairy Farm

NEW YORK, Clear Skies Solar, Inc. (OTCBB: CSKH), a leading provider of renewable energy solutions, today announced that it will provide solar power to a Riverside County, CA, dairy farm, Scott Brothers Dairy Farms.

Under the $1,700,000 agreement, Clear Skies Solar will provide approximately 240 kilowatts of solar power to the dairy farm, helping it to offset its carbon footprint, reduce energy usage and save on utility costs.

Construction, anticipated to commence this summer, will consist of two systems. The first will include construction of a 63.86kW installation and the second will install an additional 74.93kWs. Clear Skies Solar will install the solar panels on shade structures and an existing barn on Scott Brothers’ San Jacinto, CA-based dairy farm.

“At the time that we decided to install new shade structures to help keep our cows cooler, my father, Stan, brother, Bruce, and I were already doing research about ways to reduce our carbon footprint and reduce energy consumption,” said Brad Scott of Scott Brothers Dairy Farms. “That is when we decided to look into installing solar energy to our farm and sought out companies that not only have the experience to handle the construction, but also have the ability to help us navigate the various rebate programs associated with installing solar energy.”

Clear Skies Solar is currently conducting engineering and working closely with Scott Brothers Dairy Farms to navigate the various financing options and rebates available to them to assist Scott Brothers in making its farm more environmentally conscious.

“An increasing number of agricultural businesses are looking at ways to decrease their carbon footprints and conserve natural resources,” said Ezra Green, Chairman and CEO of Clear Skies Solar. “Clear Skies Solar is proud to work with forward-thinking businesses like Scott Brothers Dairy Farms who are at the forefront of this initiative and recognize the integral role that solar energy will play in both the future of their operations and of the larger global energy market.”

Clear Skies Solar offers a proven renewable energy solution for the agricultural industry at a time when high energy prices and consumption are negatively affecting business. The agricultural industry is a solid market prospect that Clear Skies Solar will continue to service with expert alternative energy consultation and installation.

Renewable Energy Stocks; Earth Day Sector Close-Up on Solar Stocks

Renewable Energy Stocks; Earth Day Sector Close-Up on Solar Stocks

Solar Stocks Help Investors Think Green as First Solar Shares Spike for Earth Day


POINT ROBERTS, WA and DELTA, BC---Apr 22, 2008 -- www.RenewableEnergyStocks.com, a leading investor news and research portal for the renewable energy sector within Investorideas.com, presents a sector close-up on solar stocks as investors think of green investing for Earth Day 2008.

For investors following solar stocks, a new solar ETF may be a diversified way to invest in and track the sector. The Claymore/MAC Global Solar Energy ETF (Market, News) tracks an index comprised of 25 global solar companies.

Renewable Energy Stocks' solar expert, J Peter Lynch, commented, "There is always the chance that the solar tax credit extensions will fail again given the dysfunctional politics currently in operation in the U.S. But even if this most negative of outcomes should come to pass, it will only delay the inevitable. The solar giant will sleep a bit longer -- but not for very much longer.

"Once America awakens, you can take all the current supply and demand projections and throw them out the window. America's active entrance into the world solar market will dramatically ramp up the demand side of the equation and mark the beginning of a massive renewable transition."

"According to the U.S. Department of Energy's international energy outlook report, worldwide demand for electricity is expected to nearly double over the next two decades," stated Tom Djokovich, CEO of XsunX, Inc (OTC BB:XSNX.OB). "When we stop for a moment on Earth Day to picture a world demanding twice the electrical power that we consume today I think it provides a sobering moment to realize that we can not continue to use our air and water supplies as a dumping ground. Alternatives such as solar power provide a solution and a clear path to helping solve our energy demand needs while creating a safer environment for all of us. This growth in demand is why XsunX is working to help fill the need for solar power alternatives. We've been working on the build-out of our first 25mega-watt thin-film solar module manufacturing facility and we're making consistent progress. We hope to announce soon the completion of several of our material supply agreements to ensure access to the materials we will need to manufacture our solar modules. Today global electricity generation represents about $1 trillion in revenues and as demand grows we plan to play a part in the long-term growth of solar and the broader electrical power industry."

In comparing renewable current energy sources, Brian C. Yerger, Research Analyst at Jesup & Lamont Securities, remarks, "We have 2 primary energy needs: Oil/gasoline used for transportation needs does not directly compete with solar, wind, and geothermal despite the (incorrect) strong market correlation. The other is coal and natural gas for electricity needs which does compete with solar, wind, geothermal and those prices, not oil, would be the better fossil fuel pricing indicators renewable energy investors should be aware of."

"As the solar industry continues to evolve, solar will become a key energy source providing not only to our homes and businesses with earth-friendly power but also providing power on a larger scale to municipalities and developing areas where electricity is limited," said Ezra Green, Chief Executive Officer of Clear Skies Solar. "At Clear Skies Solar (OTC BB:CSKH.OB ), we are working to find new and unique ways to harness the power of the sun. In just the last two months we've launched our patented XTRAX® Solar Monitoring System, a proprietary Solar Power Supply (SPS) Vehicle Data Monitoring Device and the TetraPort Solar Energy Carport System that even includes independent AC power outlets to charge electric or hybrid automobiles. Our in-house research and development department will continue to work each day to find new uses for solar energy or enhance existing solar solutions in an effort to limit fossil fuel use and make solar energy a viable alternative for everyone."

Clear Skies Solar Continues to Solidify Position as Leading Designer of Innovative Solar Energy Solutions

Clear Skies Solar Continues to Solidify Position as Leading Designer of Innovative Solar Energy Solutions

Unveils Revolutionary TetraPort Solar Carport System, Combining Solar Energy Functionality with Architectural Artistry

LOS ANGELES, CA - Clear Skies Group, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Clear Skies Solar, Inc. (OTCBB:CSKH), today announced its new proprietary TetraPort Solar Energy Carport System, the most advanced system of its kind to enter the marketplace and the third in a series of cutting-edge solar solutions conceived and developed exclusively by Clear Skies Solar.
Designed for corporations seeking to implement "green" practices while maintaining the architectural integrity and aesthetic elements of their complexes, the TetraPort encompasses spans of up to forty feet or more and includes independent AC power outlets for electric or hybrid automobiles.
"The TetraPort is both a fully functioning solar energy carport and an architectural artwork that any corporation would be proud to display in its parking area," said Ezra Green, Chairman and CEO of Clear Skies Solar. "We've removed the cold, formless industrial look characteristic of conventional carports and replaced it with innovative design and engineering that will keep people talking."
Constructed from steel and aluminum, the TetraPort can be painted any color to reflect the individual themes of corporations, and the system's design versatility allows for the use of any solar module on the market. The TetraPort can withstand wind speeds of up to 125 mph and includes a dioxide shield, designed to resist weather effects over many years.
"Corporations often want to incorporate green practices but lack the roof space to install other types of solar energy systems," noted Green. "Meanwhile, many commercial complexes require carports for sun protection. The TetraPort resolves both issues."
With the rare combination of architectural value and solar functionality, the TetraPort is comparable or lower in cost to conventional solar carports offering only functionality. Additionally, because the TetraPort is modular, installation requires less time than needed with conventional models.
Clear Skies Solar designs, engineers, manufacturers, and installs the most advanced and cutting-edge technology currently available in the renewable energy market. In-house architects, electronics experts, and electricians offering combined decades of construction experience make CSS not only a one-stop solution provider but also the leading solar project developer in the United States today.
The TetraPort is the latest innovation of Clear Skies Group's research and development department, and it comes on the heels of the patented XTRAX® Solar Monitoring System and the proprietary Solar Power Supply (SPS) Vehicle Data Monitoring Device. Designed for sub-100kw residential and commercial customers, XTRAX® reliably monitors solar electrical production and delivers autonomous data readings to ensure optimal system performance levels. SPS, meanwhile, was designed and built by Clear Skies Group on specification to meet the unique needs of a New Jersey-based vehicle data monitoring company.
"We are one of the only solar integrators in the United States to house our own dedicated research and development department," concluded Green, "and because of this, we are able to provide solutions to our clients' specific needs."
The TetraPort will be available for purchase in Spring 2008.

Renewable Energy Stocks Sector Close-Up on Solar Stocks; Solar Stocks Light Up Thanks to First Solar Earnings

Investors Get Encouraging Signs for Solar Technology


POINT ROBERTS, WA and DELTA, BC--Feb 14, 2008 -- www.RenewableEnergyStocks.com,
a leading investor news and research portal for the renewable energy sector within Investorideas.com, presents a sector close-up on solar stocks. First Solar was the bright star of the sector, leading solar stocks on a rally reminding investors of the performance and gains of 2007.

Renewable Energy Stocks solar expert, J Peter Lynch, commented, "First Solar's Q4 07 announcement today dramatically exceeded the street's general consensus resulting in an 20% gain in the stock which was oversold technically in the short term."

Mr. Lynch went on to say, "More importantly their announcement of full scale production and the resultant drop in cost per watt showed investors encouraging signs of PV technology reaching grid parity in the not too distant future and opening up an even more promising future for solar companies worldwide."

First Solar, Inc.(Market, News) beat the street and rewarded investors with a $52.90 (30.13%) gain with earnings of $62.9 million, 77 cents per share, compared with $8 million, or 12 cents per share, in the year-ago quarter.

According to the company's press release, quoting Michael J. Ahearn, Chief Executive Officer of First Solar, "During the fourth quarter of 2007 we benefited from the full capacity and economies of scale of our Frankfurt/Oder plant. This combined with continued throughput and conversion efficiency gains afforded us strong operating leverage and decreased our manufacturing cost per watt by 12% year over year to $1.12 per watt in the fourth quarter of 2007, further solidifying our cost leadership position in the industry."

Clear Skies Solar, Inc. (OTC BB:CSKH.OB ) had a daily gain of 5.71%. According to Ezra Green, “FSLR earnings are further proof that the Solar sector is viable AND here to stay. We at CSKH are committed to the growth of solar energy by introducing new technologies and innovative methods of integrating solar technology into every sector of the commercial & industrial arena, we applaud their success."

"The solar industry is well on its way towards attaining a significant presence within the broader electric power industry, and as evidenced by the rise in reported revenues by solar manufacturers, is poised for continued strong growth over the foreseeable future," stated Tom Djokovich, CEO of XsunX, Inc.(OTCBB:XSNX). "Grid parity, supported by a global drive to reduce green house gases, government incentives, and aggressive corporate cost-cutting plans, should be attained within five years and drive further impressive solar growth. In my opinion the sky's the limit for solar's future. We're very excited about leveraging our experience with amorphous thin-films to build and operate a module manufacturing facility and begin delivering much needed product into this market in early 2009," concluded Djokovich.

Renewable Energy Stocks Sector Close-Up on Solar Stocks; Solar Investors See Gains from Sector Leaders

Renewable Energy Stocks Sector Close-Up on Solar Stocks; Solar Investors See Gains from Sector Leaders

Long Term Outlook for Solar and Renewable Energy Stocks Remains Bullish


POINT ROBERTS, WA and DELTA, BC – January 25, 2008 www.RenewableEnergyStocks.com, a leading investor news and research portal for the renewable energy sector within Investorideas.com, presents a sector close-up on solar stocks. With the recent sell-off in the markets in general, solar stocks also took a major hit, loosing significant gains made in 2007. Yesterday’s trading in solar leaders gave investors renewed optimism and faith in the long term prospects for the sector.
Most renewable energy analysts think the long term outlook is bullish and investors should look at this as a selective buying opportunity.
To quote our on- site solar expert, J Peter Lynch: “This in no way alters my bullish view of our bright solar future and solar stocks in general. I just think we are in a period of transition where there will still be plenty of money to be made, but investors will just have to be more savvy and selective in their investments.“

Another analyst, Pavel Molchanov, from Raymond James, noted earlier this week ,” While we clearly do not rule out the possibility of further volatility, we would encourage investors to think long-term, ride out the current storm, and use this as an opportunity to accumulate shares."

Sector Close- Up as of Trading January 24, 2008

Akeena Solar Inc. (Market, News ) closed at $8.13, up $1.08 on the day and showed further gains in after market trading.
Evergreen Solar Inc (Market, News) shares were up only $ 0.19 on the day but showed a 5.2% gain in after market trading.

LDK Solar ADR (Market, News) was up 2.64 (7.55%) as of the market close.

SunPower Corporation (Market, News ) broke the daily trend with the stock down $5.04 (6.79%) during market trading, but showing gains after hours. The stock was under pressure on the news of a first-quarter adjusted profit outlook.

According to Mr. Lynch, "Certainly to say that solar stocks were hot in 2007 is an understatement. Solar stocks probably, on average, outperformed the averages by 50 fold so far in 2007. This has been a GREAT year for solar stocks and it is just the beginning. The solar industry is currently at the very early stages of its growth curve and the future will be even brighter.”

Tom M. Djokovich, CEO of XsunX (OTCBB: XSNX) explains, “With the worldwide rise in energy prices, PV prices are now closer to conventional energy prices than ever before. Currently, there's abundant demand for solar modules at prices between $3.00 to $4.00/watt and thin film PV offers even lower price points. PV could be a significant player in the energy market at only $2 per watt but the industry will need to scale significantly to me the demand for lower priced PV. That's why we're working to position XsunX as a large scale manufacturer of thin film PV.”

Evergreen Solar Inc (Market, News) shares moved December 13th after UBS Investment Research initiated a "Buy," and had an after hours spike that continued into Friday’s market on news that it that it has signed a ten-year polysilicon supply agreement with Silicium de Provence S.A.S. “Silpro”. Calyon Securities analyst Kelly Dougherty also upgraded Evergreen to “Buy”
from Add. She noted in regards to the new Energy Bill, “The watered down bill should not have a significant impact on US demand, since domestic solar demand is really driven at the state level."

China Sunergy Co., Ltd. (Market, News), a solar cell manufacturer in Nanjing, China, announced news it had entered into a supply agreement with asola Advanced and Automotive Solar System GmbH , a German module manufacturing company. China Sunergy said it will supply 10.2MW of solar cells to asola during 2008.

First Solar, Inc. (Market, News), with a 52 week range of $26.54 to $256.45, closed up $3.34 on Friday and was rated a BUY on Dec13th by UBS.
For investors wanting to know if the solar stock run is over, the number of analyst upgrades across the sector would indicate –“no”!

The dramatic 52 week range of some of the well- known solar stocks also evidences the growing global investment moving into this sector.
