Investorideas.com - Solar Stocks; XsunX (OTCBB: XSNX) Produces CIGSolar Cell Devices That Surpass 14 Percent Conversion Efficiency

Investorideas.com - Solar Stocks; XsunX (OTCBB: XSNX) Produces CIGSolar Cell Devices That Surpass 14 Percent Conversion Efficiency

Aliso Viejo, CA – October 19, 2010 (Investorideas.com renewable energy/green newswire) - XsunX, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board:XSNX.OB), the developer of advanced, thin-film photovoltaic (TFPV) solar cell technologies and manufacturing processes, today announced the successful fabrication of cells based upon the Company's CIGSolar™ technology that surpass 14 percent conversion efficiency. This achievement supports the Company's assertion that small-area, co-evaporation production provides the best platform to deliver the highest efficiency CIGS based solar cells necessary to compete with and potentially replace silicon photovoltaic (PV) technologies.

"In only a few short months since adding our new co-evaporation capability and control approach to our CIGS process development, we've achieved efficiencies of over 14 percent," said Chief Technology Officer, XsunX, Inc., Robert G. Wendt. "This efficiency level and the efficiency distribution is a significant achievement. In addition to achieving high efficiency levels, we demonstrated excellent cell voltage in the range of 620 to 660 millivolt (mV) clearly demonstrating the incorporation of gallium near the junction in the cell structure which is necessary for producing high efficiencies. We are working hard to further improve on this rapid success so that we can deliver the best possible CIGS technology to the market."

Deposition of the CIGS cell layers was conducted on full size 125 mm square substrates. Test configurations used to measure efficiency are identical to that used by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and XsunX test equipment is calibrated to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standards.

XsunX is pioneering a new manufacturing process to produce low cost, high efficiency thin-film CIGS solar cells through the combination of thin-film photovoltaic (TFPV) process knowledge with select magnetic media thin-film manufacturing technologies pioneered in the hard disc drive industries. The company believes that leveraging small area and high rate production methods will reduce the processing defects plaguing large-scale production processes currently implemented in the marketplace.

About XsunX
Based in Aliso Viejo California XsunX, Inc. is a public reporting company, trading on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board market (the OTCBB) under the symbol XSNX.OB. We are developing CIGSolar™, a new hybrid manufacturing solution to produce high performance thin-film CIGS solar cells. These CIGS solar cells may soon offer a non-toxic, high-efficiency and lowest-cost alternative to the use of silicon solar cells currently used to manufacture nearly 80% of all solar modules world wide. Our CIGSolar™ solution offers the potential to revolutionize the solar industry with the highest yield CIGS manufacturing technology available in the market today that combines robust state-of-the-art magnetic media manufacturing technologies derived from the hard disc (HD) media industry with proprietary thin film solar manufacturing processes.

The single most important investment decision you will ever make... and the Florida based company that holds the secret

My name is Hans Thomas and I'm inviting you to learn about the most interesting renewable energy concept ever introduced, Biomass!

Since 1900, global energy consumption has risen every, single year.

Let me repeat that......Since 1900 global energy consumption has RISEN EVERY SINGLE YEAR.

Energy has been the biggest, best game in town for over a century.

The floor of the New York Stock is filled with children. The floor of the Comex Exchange (energy) is where the big boys play. A wise man once said about the Golden Rule......he who has the gold...buys energy.

The most exclusive energy market in the world just opened its doors to the working guys...you and me:

To understand why this has happened, we first must enter a quaint office in Coconut Creek, Florida, the home of Clenergen Corp. Over the next several months this firm will change the way you make money and if you follow my suggestions carefully, you should be able to realize high double digit growth from this investment.

In this office lies a secret which will revolutionize the way the Biomass industry has operated for years.

This article is being written to tell you that the concepts forming at Clenergen and other industry leaders changes everything.

Yes, Everything!

The cost of everything, from transportation to real estate depends on knowing with the price of energy is in the near term future.

If you knew the price of energy in the near future you would control the market, but you don't. However, if I told you that knowing the price of energy is really more about understanding what the price of inputs are combined with the selling price of the output.

Companies throughout the energy industry are signing long term power purchase agreements to accomplish long term revenue goals...all without knowing the price of the input. This is a decades old practice and is foolish!

Have you ever heard of your local utility having to go back to the state's energy board and ask for a rate increase because “summer temperatures were unseasonably hot”? They knew what the outputs were, but miscalculated the inputs.

Throw out your time tested strategies, plans and hedges as the short term rotation crop location concept will open your eyes and will make you understand that companies like Clenergen are our energy future.

I have been right 86.7% for the past 13 years, a solid track record in selecting equities. This tiny piece of information on renewable energy has altered forever the direction of my life, has made me wealthy and made countless others wealthier.

I want to offer to you this compelling story click here to go to www.insider-picks.com/crge

Read This Carefully

The renewable energy market has gone global and firms like Clenergen Corp (CRGE) and Southern Company (SO) are leading the charge. As a result and if you act quickly the profit-opportunity of a lifetime awaits you.

Act Now!

On the very day Clenergen Corp fired up operations on their Biomass facility in Tamil Nandu, India, a coal fired plant in the same country was shuttered due to a lack of available feedstock. A hastily organized meeting by the United States department of Energy was called to ensure that US energy plants are not threatened by the same outcome; as the US energy network is dependent upon global production.

So from Tamil Nandu, India across the Russian tundra, through the Alaskan pipeline, over the rocky mountains and down to Costa Rica, one, seamless network running to and from provides the power the global energy market demands.

The result of short rotation crops being located at or near generation stations is changing an entire industry. In the beginning everyone tries to understand the concept, prices dip and finally a total shakeup of the energy equation, as traditional methods and solar, wind, nuclear, biomass and wind power are re-evaluated, re-priced and radically reorganized.

As the suits in Washington continue to create stricter rules on reducing the carbon footprint, renewable come to the surface and put a strain on traditional utilities.

Without a doubt the game has changed.

My prediction that Clenergen would increase in price over 100% in 3 months was wrong, instead it took just 2 weeks.
September 25, 2010 $.49 - October 10, 2010 $1.13
Most investors will be late to the show and will not make the huge returns, will likely talk about how close they were to landing the big fish and lose out.

But if you subscribe now the Global Renewable Energy Report, you will consistently be provided the most current information on the trends in the industry and can stay well ahead of the market. They will understand how and when to enter and exit a position to benefit substantially from renewable energy trades.

As a subscriber, you will have the opportunity to triple your money

And here's the thing:

The Race is already underway...

..since Clenergen, among others have promoted projects totaling 1000s of mw/H in the Biomass sector.

And participation in this opportunity is available to you today.

But, The Prospect Is Even Better as the Windfall Lies with the Smaller Companies

Huge profits in the months ahead are reserved for smaller companies that can control costs.

It is all absolutely FREE and available with a simple click. www.insider-picks.com/crge

Big energy companies are in trouble

In the showdown between Biomass and coal, BIOMASS is the big winner in Washington's new legislation on carbon emissions.
Clenergen is in the forefront and should capture huge profits in the near term.
Why electricity is the lead form of energy delivery and use.
Why countries like India and the Philippines are dominant in the Biomass industry and what has changed the outlook for the United States. Don't miss this!
My goal for you is simple....to provide you with enough information to make you wealthy, REALLY WEALTHY. I have enjoyed successes well beyond my imagination all from analysis of good information. I have had the opportunity to eat lunch with gentlemen like Dan Devos and Herb Brooks, partnered with NFL football and NBA basketball players and currently am advising the Omani government on restructuring their oil distribution portfolio to prepare for a surge in renewable generation.

As the price of energy stocks fluctuates, information from the report will allow you to identify divergences between energy stocks and when to enter and exit positions. I talk about trading strategies and feature a renewable energy company each and every issue.

I think you will agree the Global Renewable Energy Report is a necessity when making stock selections.

Take care for now!

EcoloCap Solutions (OTCBB:ECOS) Signs Agreements With US Native American Tribes to Locate Manufacturing Facilities for the LI-Nano Battery on Tribal Lands


EcoloCap Solutions Inc. has engaged Naturally Native Development as a consultant to coordinate and plan the Joint Ventures between Native American Tribes and EcoloCap

Michael Siegel, CEO states: "While this project may seem ambitious we are taking advantage of a new concept in funding and logistics, all in line with programs instituted by various government agencies and others to fund native people's business enterprises. This funding will come through multiple sources, i.e. stimulus funding, grant funding, multiple state and federal sources, BIA guaranteed loans, and Tribal bonding capabilities. The final, multiple JV's must be formed which will be ratified by each tribe involved in the supply chain described above.
We are projecting for the first stage of battery production to deliver around 583 Kw/year and we hope all legal will be completed by the beginning of next year. The JV's should initially employ over 350 individuals in low employment areas."

Solar Stocks; ARISE Technologies (TSX: APV ) Announces Preliminary Third Quarter Results

Solar Stocks; ARISE Technologies (TSX: APV ) Announces Preliminary Third Quarter Results


WATERLOO, ON, (http://www.investorideas.com/ clean energy stocks blog)- ARISE Technologies Corporation ("ARISE" or "the Company") (TSX: APV and Frankfurt: A3T), a leader in high-performance, high-quality, cost-effective solar technology, today announced preliminary financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010. ARISE cautions that these results are based on unaudited preliminary Company data and may be subject to final adjustment.
The preliminary unaudited results indicate that revenue for Q3 2010 is expected to total approximately $23.0 million, of which $3.7 million was from wafer tolling. This result represents a 50% increase from the $15.3 million in Q2 2010 and a 249% increase over the $6.6 million in Q3 2009. With the successful ramp-up of Line Two in June 2010, the PV cell plant in Germany is also expected to achieve positive EBITDA (Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization) for the third quarter which would exceed the Company's internal target for the quarter.

Shipments for the third quarter of 2010 are expected to be 19.5MW, up 65% from the 11.8MW in Q2 2010 and 457% higher than the 3.5MW shipped in Q3 2009. The preliminary results indicate that inventory levels remain at the low end of the Company's target range. The Company expects that quarter over quarter PV cell shipment growth will be lower in the remainder of 2010 and 2011 as results now include Line Two operating at full capacity for an entire quarter. Additional PV cell shipment growth will be generated if the Company installs additional production lines.


Revenue for the first nine-months of 2010 is expected to be $54.4M, up 166% from the $20.4M in the first nine months of 2009. Shipments were 45.2MW for the first nine-months of 2010, which is an increase of 421% over the 8.7MW shipped in the first nine-months of 2009.

"During the third quarter of 2009 our PV cell shipments continued their strong upward trend as demand for our products outpaced existing production capacities," said Vern Heinrichs, ARISE's President and Chief Executive Officer. "The increased demand we have experienced throughout 2010 continues to drive strong top-line revenue growth, and preliminary results indicate that our third quarter revenue will increase by approximately 250% over the same period last year."

"In Ontario, our systems business continues to gain traction in this early stage market, with preliminary third quarter results pointing to a more than doubling of systems revenue over the previous quarter," continued Mr. Heinrichs.

"In regards to our Silicon Division, we continue our negotiations with now three major companies to structure an agreement to commercialize our proprietary high-purity, low-cost silicon technology. This process is taking longer than we had originally anticipated. Due to recent results from our R & D activities and increasing prices for silicon world-wide, we remain optimistic that we will be able to finalize our strategic approach soon," concluded Mr. Heinrichs.



In early November, ARISE expects to release its Q3 2010 financial results and hold a conference call. Details for the third quarter conference call will be provided closer to the date of the release.

About ARISE Technologies
ARISE Technologies Corporation, based in Waterloo, Ontario, is dedicated to becoming a leader in high-performance, cost-effective solar technology. The company operates through three divisions. The PV Cell Division manufactures PV (photovoltaic) cells at its first manufacturing plant opened in April 2008 in Bischofswerda, Germany.

Solar Stocks; Enbridge and First Solar (NASDAQ:FSLR) Complete the Largest Photovoltaic Facility in the World

Solar Stocks; Enbridge and First Solar (NASDAQ:FSLR) Complete the Largest Photovoltaic Facility in the World


CALGARY, ALBERTA and TEMPE, ARIZONA--(http://www.investorideas.com/ clean energy stocks blog ) 10/04/10) -
Enbridge Inc. (TSX:ENB (NYSE:ENB  and First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:FSLR) have achieved commercial operation of the 80-megawatt (MW) Sarnia Solar Project, making it the largest operating photovoltaic facility in the world.
The project complements Enbridge's significant and growing portfolio of green energy assets that includes interests in seven wind farms, a geothermal project, four waste heat recovery facilities and a commercial application of integrated energy recovery and fuel cell technology.



"Our investments in green energy are an increasingly important part of Enbridge's business," said Al Monaco, Executive Vice President, Major Projects and Green Energy, Enbridge Inc. "Over the last year, we added four new projects totaling $1.5 billion, increasing our total green energy investment to $2 billion and establishing a solid platform for attractive and sustainable long-term growth with a risk-return profile consistent with our Liquids Pipelines and natural gas businesses."



"At the same time, our green energy assets deliver strong environmental benefits," added Mr. Monaco. "Enbridge intends to stabilize our environmental footprint at 2009 levels under a program that includes a commitment to generate a kilowatt of renewable energy for every kilowatt of power our operations consume. We will achieve this goal through projects like the Sarnia Solar Project."
The total generating capacity (in operation and under construction) of the green energy projects in which Enbridge has invested is almost 850 MW, which is enough energy to meet the needs of about 292,000 homes.
First Solar, a leading manufacturer of photovoltaic (PV) solar panels and provider of solar solutions, will operate and maintain the Sarnia Solar Project for Enbridge under a long-term contract. First Solar developed, engineered, and constructed the facility, using its advanced thin film solar panels.


"Completing the world's largest PV power plant demonstrates the migration of solar PV toward utility scale," said Frank De Rosa, First Solar's senior vice president of North American project development. "With this project, we expect to install 145 MW this year in North America."

In addition to generating about 120,000 MWh per year of emissions-free power, the Sarnia Solar Project produces no waste and uses PV technology that was designed to create the smallest carbon footprint of any PV technology available. Enbridge expects the facility to generate enough power to meet the needs of about 12,800 homes.
Enbridge will sell the power output of the facility to the Ontario Power Authority pursuant to 20-year Power Purchase Agreements under the terms of the Ontario government's Renewable Energy Standard Offer Program.


Development of the Sarnia Solar Project aligns not only with Enbridge's and First Solar's objectives, but with those of the Government of Ontario.

"The Sarnia Solar Project is an example of the kinds of renewable energy projects that have been developed under the Government of Ontario's Green Energy Act," said the Honourable Brad Duguid, Ontario Minister of Energy. "Ontario can now boast the largest solar farm in North America - it is projects like this one that are making us a leader in renewable energy and helping us all move towards a cleaner energy future."

"This is a significant project that not only helps power local homes and businesses with clean, renewable energy, but improves our air quality at the same time," said Maria Van Bommel, MPP for Lambton-Kent-Middlesex. "I'm proud that a McGuinty government policy is helping Sarnia-Lambton take the lead on solar power."
Sarnia Solar Energy at a glance:

Capacity peak: about 80 MW of emissions-free power

Power purchaser: Ontario Power Authority

Facility size: Located on 950 acres
Panel surface area: about 966,000 square metres, which is about 1.3 million

thin film panels (First Solar)

Annual yield: about 120,000 MWh

CO2 saving: over 39,000 tonnes per year

Jobs created: About 800 jobs created at construction peak, as well as

engineering and design firms, construction subcontractors, suppliers and

service providers.
