Clear Skies Solar, Inc., a leading developer of solar energy products and a full-service solar power integration provider, today announced that the company will open a new office in Golden, Colorado to provide operations in the entire Colorado region and ultimately deliver engineering support to the upcoming offices in the Southwest.
“Large portions of the Southwest remain a relatively untouched market that offers tremendous potential for solar energy providers,” said Clear Skies Solar CEO Ezra Green. “Coupled with the record-high energy prices and increased calls for environmental responsibility, we expect to see explosive growth of photovoltaic-produced electricity in the region. Strategically-placed offices throughout this area will put Clear Skies Solar in a prime position to fulfill the expanding need for solar energy in the Southwest.”
Systems engineer Scott Davies, previously of Altair Energy, will oversee engineering operations in the office. Rami Makhail, Clear Skies Solar’s Executive Vice President of Sales, will assemble the sales force for the region and oversee the company’s expansion into the market with a primary focus on servicing the increased corporate need for solar energy systems.
“Large corporations are leading the growth in solar energy not only because they want to realize the long-term savings that solar energy provides, but also because of their increased desire to utilize renewable energy, cut greenhouse emissions and reduce their own carbon footprints,” added Green. “In fact, many large corporations are now demanding solar energy on their real estate simply because it is the right thing to do and because they know that their customers will look favorably upon them for doing so.”
The Colorado office joins the company’s New York and Los Angeles offices and is part of Clear Skies Solar’s aggressive expansion project to accommodate the exponential growth and interest in solar and energy efficiency programs throughout the Southwest. Clear Skies Solar expects to hire an additional four employees to staff this new office.
