FT. LAUDERDALE, FL--(Marketwire - February 24, 2009) - Solargy Systems Inc. (PINKSHEETS: SLGS)
Managing Director (MD) Carl Nurse recently indicated certain developments
at the company.
Solargy Systems Inc. is pleased to announce that they have received a
signed letter of intent from Barron Properties to develop and install a
solar farm utility site for the production of electricity via Solargy's
branded solar panels. The site will be located in Wellington and the energy
produced shall be sold pursuant to a power purchase agreement to Florida
Power and Light for the term of no less than twenty years. The solar farm
will consist of approximately 14,000 solar panels on the property and the
interconnection of the solar units to the FP&L grid. The signed letter of
intent for the solar panel installation is for $15,000,000.This project is
in addition to a previously announced solar farm project in Chiefland,
Florida.
"We are excited to move forward with our business plan and to expand our
operations here in the United States. With the search for alternative
energy sources and implementation of green technology in such high demand,
we are pleased to begin showing Solargy's technology and cost saving
benefits," stated C.E.O. (MD) Carl Nurse.
"Since we have refocused on the alternative energy industry, we have been
aggressively pursuing contracts for projects whilst simultaneously looking
for factory space to manufacture panels and the capital to start
manufacturing. We have identified a building here in Miami and we have also
identified a funding source who is interested in participating in the
$100,000,000 manufacturing operation, subject to certain conditions," Mr.
Nurse stated.
Mr. Nurse also added, "We are working on funding for our plant. We have
also cleared some final issues with our proposed waste to energy facility
and we expect executed documents and a bank guarantee very shortly. In the
coming weeks we will release details of each project as we get executed
documents. These projects have a total value of $180,000,000. As soon as
we get a commitment from a lender for the funding for the manufacturing
plant we will publish the details, but we have expressions of interest from
a few entities and we are working to meet the conditions imposed."
Solargy Systems Inc. is a systems integrator of alternative energy
technologies. Solargy Systems Inc. also is actively seeking power purchase
agreements (PPA) and expects to secure PPAs in the months ahead. The
technologies used will provide solutions to the high cost of energy in
emerging markets by selling and installing small power systems ranging from
1 MW for large commercial applications to 20 MW and larger hybrid systems
by using combinations of solar and wind or waste and solar. The
combinations used will be determined by local conditions.
