Solar Energy Systems, LLC (SES) Installs Brooklyn, NY's Largest Commercial
Solar Electric System

NEW YORK, Sept. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Solar Energy Systems, LLC (SES) announces
the installation of Brooklyn's largest commercial solar electric system. The
68.4 kW system will provide 100% of the electricity needs for City
Merchandise, New York's largest national tourist souvenir company based in
Sunset Park, Brooklyn. SES, collaborating with area contractors, created the
green-collar team, entirely Brooklyn-based, to install the system.

"All of our electricity is now supplied by our solar system. And as a
travel-related firm, our souvenirs make tourism to NYC more eco-friendly, and
that is very important to us," says Jack Gindi, owner of City Merchandise,
which has been designing, manufacturing and catering to NYC's souvenir needs
for over 20 years.

"NYSERDA is pleased to have provided $252,880 in incentives toward the
installation of this PV system," says Francis J. Murray Jr., President and CEO
of NYSERDA. "It is extremely important that we as a State utilize renewable
energy sources such as solar, to strengthen our energy and environmental
future. This project is a fine example of what we are trying to achieve under
Governor David A. Paterson's '45 by 15' clean energy agenda."

David Buckner, President of Solar Energy Systems, says, "City Merchandise has
both a sizable roof and an efficient business operation, the combination of
which allows for a solar project that completely offsets their annual
electricity needs. Not only are they generating clean on-site electricity,
they are at the same time achieving an extremely healthy return on investment.
Welcome to the future."

Josh Keller, the Executive Director of Southwest Brooklyn Industrial
Development Corporation, affirms that, "The borough's largest industrial solar
array has been made possible by the hard work and collaborative efforts of
Brooklyn-based contractors and installers. Brooklyn's small businesses have
always been a tight knit and effective group and their work here is further
evidence of their ongoing dedication to the community. We applaud City
Merchandise for their forward-thinking approach to energy efficiency and for
promoting the growth of small businesses and jobs in Sunset Park."
