The system is being developed and will be owned by a Greenleaf-TNX project company and will utilize high efficiency Chaori Solar panels.

Thomas Yap, Partner at Greenleaf-TNX said, “We are delighted to commence construction on this system. Our strong partnerships with the Sikh Gurdwara, Chaori Solar and Chico Electric have allowed this project to come to fruition. We look forward to a long relationship with these partners." Charlie Fiechter, Partner at Greenleaf-TNX said, “We feel the U.S. market is poised to become once of the biggest growth markets for renewable energy in the world. Renewable energy is becoming an important growth segment in technology and the segment’s growth will contribute to our economic recovery. We are pleased to be in the heart of Silicon-valley putting this project into construction and look forward to the completion of construction before the end of the year.”

Mr. Ni Kailu, President of Chaori Solar said, “Today's ceremony has special significance. First of all, thanks to Greenleaf-TNX's efforts to install Chaori Solar products at the Sikh Gurdwara in the United States. We are happy this project has generated jobs in America, which we appreciate very much. We expect Chaori Solar to bring light and warmth to everyone for years to come.”







About Sikh Gurdwara, San Jose

The Sikh Gurdwara - San Jose was founded in San Jose, California, USA in 1985 by leaders of the then-rapidly growing Santa Clara Valley Sikh community. Initially they met in a rented community center, but soon bought a small building in east San Jose. After buying nearby land in the early 1990s, they decided it would be too expensive to build in the city limits, so they sold that land and bought a larger property further east. The first phase of the project of almost 20,000 square feet was completed in 2004. When the current second phase is completed in the autumn of 2010, the total size will be over 100,000 square feet, the largest Sikh Gurdwara in North America. The solar energy project is built to address their electric power needs in an environmentally responsible way.
