Day4 Energy today announced the official launch of its turnkey solar power project business with an agreement to deliver a 2.5 megawatt (MW) power generation system to be installed by the company\\\'s Italian channel partner Ing Gaeta Sistemi Elettrici SrL. Consisting of 14,300 advanced Day4 48MC modules, the system is funded and will be ultimately owned by Day4 Energy\\\'s project financing partner CERTUS Life Cycle AG (CLC) and is located near the town of Sezze about 75 kilometers southeast of Rome. The 2.5 MW Solita photovoltaic (PV) system will deliver enough reliable clean electricity to power approximately 1000 Italian homes.
Solita is the largest PV system to feature Day4 Energy\\\'s industry leading products to date and is the first project to be delivered under the terms of the recent agreement between the company and CLC. With an independently rated annual output of 3.5 gigawatt hours (GWh), the Solita Solar Power Plant is expected to generate more than 30 million EUR ($50 million USD) in revenues to the CLC fund over the course of its first 20 years of operation. The project further adds to Day4 Energy\\\'s existing pipeline of 55 MW contracted product sales scheduled for delivery in 2009.
\\\"The Solita project is significant for Day4 Energy on many levels: notably, our successful collaboration with channel and investor partners, the impressive size of the system, and its strategic location in Italy, a new and growing market for us,\\\" said George Rubin, president of Day4 Energy. \\\"We are particularly proud to be providing our new finance partners at CLC with an outstanding return on investment and significant ongoing revenue streams based on the high performance of our advanced solar energy modules and high-quality installation work of our system integration channel partners.\\\"
\\\"As a channel partner with Day4 Energy since 2007, we have come to expect that Day4 Energy stands for only the best product and service\\\", says Mario Gaeta, president of Ing Gaeta Sistemi Elettrici SrL. \\\"We are excited to be a part of the Solita project which is bound to be the first of many power generation projects for Day4 and its channel partners.\\\"
For the Solita project, Day4 Energy\\\'s high-performance solar modules will be ground-mounted across 55,000 square meters of Italian countryside. Day4 Energy\\\'s European project management subsidiary Day4 Systems will coordinate design and installation. Solita will be financed by German-based CERTUS Life Cycle AG (CLC) as part of the agreement between Day4 Energy and CLC to deploy photovoltaic installations throughout Italy and Europe. CLC will operate the system and sell the power generated on the Italian electricity market.
