POINT ROBERTS, WA and DELTA, BC—March 27, 2008 -- www.RenewableEnergyStocks.com,
a leading investor news and research portal for the renewable energy sector within Investorideas.com, presents a sector close-up audio interview on solar stocks featuring Ezra Green, CEO and Chairman of Clear Skies Solar, Inc. (OTCBB: CSKH).

When asked what larger company Clear Skies Solar, Inc. (OTCBB: CSKH) could be comparable to, strictly from a business model, Mr. Green responded, “We are very similar to the SunEdisons, (http://www.sunedison.com ) with the structure of doing installations internally. We have all the talent in-house, with the exception of contract labor. We are project managers and we have the experience to install and completely manage large scale projects.”

Clear Skies Solar, Inc. (OTCBB: CSKH) is also developing technology, to stay ahead of their competition. Mr. Green goes on to discuss the company’s X-Trax™ Solar monitoring system that was developed in- house and the development of new technologies moving forward. “If we need a specific tool for the industry to give us an edge over the competition, we need to develop it in- house so we can be more expeditious in our installations, be more competitive in our pricing, and of course add to the speed of the installations while maintaining high quality. We are always developing new products and filing patents to make sure we are leading and cutting edge in the industry. “

Following up on the X-Trax™ news, the company recently announced a new proprietary TetraPort Solar Energy Carport System, the third solar technology solution developed exclusively by Clear Skies Solar.

In terms of new markets, Mr. Green went on to say the company is exploring Asian Markets, as well as Australia and South Africa.

Renewable Energy Stocks Sector Close-Up on Solar Stocks; Solar Stocks Light Up Thanks to First Solar Earnings

Investors Get Encouraging Signs for Solar Technology


POINT ROBERTS, WA and DELTA, BC--Feb 14, 2008 -- www.RenewableEnergyStocks.com,
a leading investor news and research portal for the renewable energy sector within Investorideas.com, presents a sector close-up on solar stocks. First Solar was the bright star of the sector, leading solar stocks on a rally reminding investors of the performance and gains of 2007.

Renewable Energy Stocks solar expert, J Peter Lynch, commented, "First Solar's Q4 07 announcement today dramatically exceeded the street's general consensus resulting in an 20% gain in the stock which was oversold technically in the short term."

Mr. Lynch went on to say, "More importantly their announcement of full scale production and the resultant drop in cost per watt showed investors encouraging signs of PV technology reaching grid parity in the not too distant future and opening up an even more promising future for solar companies worldwide."

Sector Close-Up as of Trading February 13, 2008:

First Solar, Inc.(Market, News) beat the street and rewarded investors with a $52.90 (30.13%) gain with earnings of $62.9 million, 77 cents per share, compared with $8 million, or 12 cents per share, in the year-ago quarter. The rally continued in after market trading with additional gains. Revenues for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2007 were $504.0 million, up from $135.0 million in fiscal year 2006.

According to the company's press release, quoting Michael J. Ahearn, Chief Executive Officer of First Solar, "During the fourth quarter of 2007 we benefited from the full capacity and economies of scale of our Frankfurt/Oder plant. This combined with continued throughput and conversion efficiency gains afforded us strong operating leverage and decreased our manufacturing cost per watt by 12% year over year to $1.12 per watt in the fourth quarter of 2007, further solidifying our cost leadership position in the industry."

Clear Skies Solar, Inc. (OTC BB:CSKH.OB ) had a daily gain of 5.71%. According to Ezra Green, “FSLR earnings are further proof that the Solar sector is viable AND here to stay. We at CSKH are committed to the growth of solar energy by introducing new technologies and innovative methods of integrating solar technology into every sector of the commercial & industrial arena, we applaud their success."

Akeena Solar Inc. (Market, News ) closed up 5.56%.
Evergreen Solar Inc (Market, News) shares were up 1.23 (12.17%) and another 2.20% in after market trading.
LDK Solar ADR (Market, News) had gains of $2.12 (6.32%).
Canadian Solar Inc. (Market, News) radiated, up $2.60 (12.87%).
China Sunergy Company Ltd. (Market, News) was another bright star up 6.87%.
SunPower Corporation (Market, News ) followed the pack with an $8.82 (12.37%) gain.
Yingli Green Energy Holding Company Limited (Market, News) rallied up 16.6 %.

"The solar industry is well on its way towards attaining a significant presence within the broader electric power industry, and as evidenced by the rise in reported revenues by solar manufacturers, is poised for continued strong growth over the foreseeable future," stated Tom Djokovich, CEO of XsunX, Inc.(OTCBB:XSNX). "Grid parity, supported by a global drive to reduce green house gases, government incentives, and aggressive corporate cost-cutting plans, should be attained within five years and drive further impressive solar growth. In my opinion the sky's the limit for solar's future. We're very excited about leveraging our experience with amorphous thin-films to build and operate a module manufacturing facility and begin delivering much needed product into this market in early 2009," concluded Djokovich.
