IX Energy Partners With Advanced Green Technologies to Build 28kW Solar Array

Marketwired
IX Energy Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: IXEH), a company engaged in the
development of solar power and other renewable energy solutions for
the federal government and commercial markets, announced that it is
partnering with Advanced Green Technologies (AGT), a subsidiary of
Advanced Roofing, to build a 28kW rooftop solar array at Warren
Easton High School in New Orleans as part of the New Orleans Solar
School Initiative. Advanced Roofing is the prime contractor on the
installation.
The New Orleans Solar School Initiative, which aims to roll out
solar to four New Orleans schools, is a project being led by
Winrock International, Entergy, and Nike. Entergy, a local New
Orleans utility, is taking the lead in the investment on the
project to deliver clean energy back into the community of New
Orleans. The project was initially made possible by a grant from
Nike through proceeds it generated through a transaction of carbon
offsets registered with Winrock's American Carbon Registry.
The 28kW grid-tied system, covering 6,634 sq. feet, will produce
37,000 kWh of solar energy each year and can be expanded to as much
as 125kW. AGT will be responsible for the design and integration of
the system while IX Energy will provide the electrical install,
materials and balance of system. The project, scheduled to start in
the first week of July, is expected to be complete by August.
Steve Hoffmann, CEO of IX Energy, said, "We commend groups like
this on their leadership and continued proactive stance in
developing and supporting renewable energy projects such as the New
Orleans Solar School Initiative. It creates a valuable learning
environment for students in the community to see how solar energy
can be implemented, where the school becomes an example for
teaching the importance of conserving energy. In addition, we are
pleased to be working with AGT, whose products are well suited for
this project."
AGT will also provide an interactive solar monitoring system to
measure the daily, weekly, monthly and lifetime totals of energy
generated in kWh. The visual display also tracks the impact the
solar system is having on the environment in tangible terms
including gallons of gas, dozens of light bulbs and pounds of coal,
all off-set by solar energy.
"Renewable energy has become a global necessity," stated Michael
Kornahrens, President of AGT. "Providing the products and
installation is only the beginning. Educating children and adults
alike on the importance of solar energy and how a photovoltaic
system works is extremely important. Our solar data monitoring
system enables us to look at the overall production of the solar
system and show the environmental offsets made directly from the
use of solar energy."
