Clear Skies Group announces TetraPort Solar Energy Carport System 
Clear Skies Group, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Clear Skies Solar, Inc. has announced its new TetraPort Solar Energy Carport System. Designed for corporations seeking to implement “green” practices while maintaining the architectural integrity 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.
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.
The TetraPort is comparable or lower in cost to conventional solar carports. Additionally, because the TetraPort is modular, installation requires less time than needed with conventional models.
“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.”
“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.”
The TetraPort comes on the heels of the patented XTRAX® Solar Monitoring System and the 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 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.
