Solar Thin Films, Inc. (OTC Markets: SLTZ), an environmental company focused on Fiber Reinforced Plastics, waste-to-energy, and solar technologies, has made great strides over the past few months. Since it acquired Quality Resource Technologies in May 2013, management has announced contracts to build eco-housing, solar fields, and several other projects.
In its most recent move below, management announced that it completed the first installation for its Smart Solar Tracking System at a PGA-authorized golf course in New York. The unique technology that tracks the sun’s movement over the sky came from its acquisition of KLC Green Energy Corp earlier this month and helps improve energy production by about 50%.
Investors in solar stocks like First Solar Inc. (NASDAQ: FSLR) or Canadian Solar Inc. (NASDAQ: CSIQ) may want to take a closer look at this stock for their portfolios. As well today’s announcement, the company also announced an agreement in principle to build 3 solar fields capable of producing 35MW of electricity annually. This agreement in principle with Tri-State Wind Energy LLC still needs to be finalized, but it could pave the way for significant value to be unlocked for shareholders.
Read the full press release below:
Solar Thin Films, Inc. (OTC Markets: SLTZ) (the “Company”), an environmentally conscious company working to bring new products to market with a strong focus on Fiber Reinforced Plastics technology (FRP), as well as waste to energy and solar energy, announced today the completion of the first installation of its Smart Solar Tracking System (the “Tracker”) at a PGA-authorized golf course, Manhattan Woods, in Pearl River, New York.
The Company previously announced its agreement, subject to final documentation, to acquire the assets and business of KLC Green Energy Corp (“KLC”) which manufactures the Tracker. The unique feature of the Tracker is that the solar panel changes position in response to the movement of the sun in relation to the earth; in essence, following the sun’s path. This feature allows for a 50% increase in the amount of energy produced by the panel and has many applications, including outdoor lighting for walkways, property lighting, etc. and can be used in both stand-alone and networked lighting applications.
James Solano, Chief Executive Officer of the Company stated, “The installation of the Tracker at Manhattan Woods is exciting for a couple of reasons. First, because we believe that this will lead quickly to 10-15 such installations at Manhattan Woods, as well as positioning us to install our solar golf charger systems. Second, we are in prime position to capture most, if not all, of the solar installations at the many PGA-authorized golf courses around the country. Thirdly, the spin-offs to other opportunities for the Tracker throughout the world, is huge, given our recent announcement of the acceptance of the Tracker system in our school and clinic project in Uganda, Africa. The acquisition of KLC is about to pay off handsomely, as the market opportunity for the Tracker is in excess of $100,000 at each of the 50-plus PGA-authorized golf courses in the USA over the next 2-3 years, plus the thousands of other application possibilities here and abroad.”
The previously announced acquisition of KLC is on-track to close within the next 3-4 weeks.
