NEW YORK, Oct. 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- CBD Energy Limited (NASDAQ: CBDE), a diversified clean energy company and global provider of solar systems, announced today that its Westinghouse Solar unit has completed installation of the Company's first U.S.- based residential solar system.

Mr. Gerry McGowan, CBD Energy Executive Chairman and Managing Director, stated, "We are very pleased to announce our first U.S. residential solar system installation, the first completion of our robust, growing pipeline. Local demand for our solar systems is strong and this is an important milestone as we enter the U.S. solar marketplace.  Our customers will enjoy cost certainty and minimized impact of future energy price increases over the 25-plus year system life.
