"An increasing number of hotels 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 Hotel Mt. Lassen 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."

Under the contract, Clear Skies Solar (CSS) will install a 120 kilowatt solar photovoltaic system that is designed to offset roughly 65% of the buildings' current energy usage. The project is structured utilizing a third party Power Purchasing Agreement.

Under this financing arrangement the hotel will purchase the power generated by the system for 20 years. The installation of this photovoltaic system will help to offset the energy usage of roughly 55 average sized homes.

"Through Power Purchase Agreements and a variety of other financing options and tax incentives available to business owners there is no reason not to go solar," added Green.
