MIAMI, May 22 A Miami-based distributor of alternative energy systems has made a deal to sell its products in the lucrative market of Dubai.

Electron Solar Energy announced that Tibo Company LLC, based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, will sell the company's solar energy systems through two branch offices and direct-to-consumer sales covering the entire United Arab Emirates. Tibo markets Electron's line of batteries.

"Cash-rich oil nations are investing heavily into the region, developing and building out the infrastructure in addition to creating the world's most luxurious tourist attractions," said Christopher P. Quinn, chief executive officer of Electron. "Dubai is currently the fastest growing city on Earth. This construction boom is progressing at an unprecedented level of luxury and technological advancement. With that type of forward thinking in place, Dubai will be a hotspot for green building technology and alternative energy products for years to come." According to Dubai Electricity and Water Authority, Dubai's power consumption rose nearly 30 percent in 2006. Thomas George, president and Chief Electrical Engineer at Tibo, calls Dubai a "very attractive market for solar energy systems. Since the UAE lies on the earth's Sunbelt, its angle of insolation is one of the highest in the world."
