Toronto, Canada (SPX) Sep 12, 2008
SkyPower has entered into a new joint venture with Excess Energy, a leading installer of solar power systems in Ontario. The joint venture, called SkyPower Lite, will offer Canadians turnkey solar solutions, and will initially focus on solar hot water solutions.

The effort is an important part of SkyPower's strategic direction, and leverages its experience in large wind and solar development.

"SkyPower Lite is another important step toward building a cleaner and greener energy future for Ontario," said Kerry Adler, President and Chief Executive Officer of SkyPower.

He noted that the pilot project coincides with the Ontario government's 2007 green objectives, which targets 100,000 installed solar systems as part of their innovative 'Go Green' climate change strategy.

"SkyPower Lite is proud to play an important role in this initiative," added Adler.

"This partnership brings together a combination of 15 years of experience in both off grid and grid-tie solar and wind energy systems for light commercial and residential buildings," added Vern Sherwood, Managing Director, SkyPower Lite and former President of Excess Energy.

"Canadians need and want an opportunity to have solar solutions on their roofs as a responsible option to reduce pollution and energy costs."
