Investors Profiting with #Solar #Stocks as Residential and Commercial Solar see Bullish 1st Quarter – (OTCQB: $SING) (NYSE: $VSLR) (NASDAQ: $SUNW) (NASDAQ: $SPWR)


Investors Profiting with #Solar #Stocks as Residential and Commercial Solar see Bullish 1st Quarter – (OTCQB: $SING) (NYSE: $VSLR) (NASDAQ: $SUNW) (NASDAQ: $SPWR)

Point Roberts WA, Delta BC – June 24, 2019 - Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering solar stocks releases a sector snapshot reporting on the continued growth in solar installations in both residential and commercial zones as more businesses and consumers realize the benefits of solar and as it becomes more readily available and affordable for both.

Featured solar stocks include Singlepoint Inc. (OTC: SING) through its subsidiary Direct Solar,  Vivint Solar Inc. (NYSE: VSLR), Sunworks, Inc. (NASDAQ: SUNW) and SunPower Corporation (NASDAQ: SPWR).


SolarPower.com recently reported “In the first three months of the year, the U.S. installed 2.7 gigawatts of solar PV, making it the most solar ever installed in the first quarter of a year. With the strong first quarter, Wood Mackenzie Power & Renewables forecasts 25% growth in 2019 compared to 2018, and it expects more than 13 GWDC of installations this year, as reported in its new U.S. Solar Market Insight Report.”

This news follows after the United States surpassed 2 million solar installations in May.

“The first quarter data and projections for the rest of the year are promising for the solar industry,” said Abigail Ross Hopper, President and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association. “However, if we are to make the kind of progress we need, to make the 2020’s The Solar Decade, we will need to make substantial policy and market advances.”

A new survey, conducted by CITE Research on behalf of Vivint Solar Inc. (NYSE: VSLR), revealed 70% of American adults said they would support a nationwide mandate requiring solar panels to be installed on all newly built homes. The survey also revealed significant others and environmental experts are the most influential when deciding to install residential solar for the good of the environment, while politicians are the least influential by far.
"California was the first state to pass a solar panel mandate on new homes and it goes into effect in 2020. We've seen that state often lead the way in establishing environmental practices nationwide," said David Bywater, CEO of Vivint Solar, which has installed solar energy systems on more than 160,000 US homes. "We believe more states will make strides to adopt residential solar requirements, and it's great to see the vast majority of American adults support this, even at a nationwide mandate level. With nearly a million new single-family homes built annually, if all of them took advantage of solar energy, it would be equivalent to driving 12 billion fewer miles a year or consuming 12 million fewer barrels of oil.”
Among those who support a nationwide solar mandate, 32% said they strongly support it and 38% said they somewhat support it, while approximately 16% said they somewhat oppose it and 14% said they strongly oppose it. While there was no significant difference in attitudes between men and women, opinions varied based on region, age group, and homeowner and relationship status varied.
As residential solar is currently optional for existing homeowners, survey takers were also asked who would most influence their decision to install solar panels on their home for the good of the environment. Spouses/significant others proved the most powerful force, with 58% of survey takers claiming they would be influenced by them (36% a great deal of influence, and 22% some influence). Environmental experts were the next most influential, with 57% saying they would be influenced by their opinion (28% a great deal of influence, 29% some influence).
Politicians are the least influential, with just 19% of people saying a political figure would influence their opinion to go solar for the environmental benefits (6% a great deal of influence, 13% some influence). And while politicians don't rank highly overall, data shows the older you get, the less likely you are to be influenced by them. Among survey takers, the percentage who say politicians have no influence: 46% for those aged 25-34; 49% age 35-44; 59% age 45-54; 64% age 55-64, and 73% of those aged 65+. Comparatively, 29% of those 25-44 claimed politicians would have some or a great deal of influence, while only 7% of those 65+ stated the same.
Direct Solar, a wholly owned subsidiary of Singlepoint Inc. (OTC: SING)  announced that the company is developing a commercial solar lending solution. The solution will serve customers that own and/or manage commercial properties. This is a massive market opportunity that the commercial space is looking for.

Direct Solar will be one of the first companies to offer this type of lending solution and is expected to launch in the next four to six weeks.

“Currently there are a lot of residential lending solutions as well as large scale lending for solar farms and high megawatt projects. We have yet to find a solution that will finance projects in the small to medium commercial space. Our financing solution will provide these customers with quick funding turn around and require no personal guarantees. We believe there is enough projects for us to turn $100 Million dollars in lending over the next 9-12 months,” states Pablo Diaz, Founder & CEO of Direct Solar.
Offering this new financing solution will provide Direct Solar with addition revenue and cash flow, as the company will be receiving commissions on each project that is funded as well as commission on the installation.
“This is a massive opportunity to fill a huge gap in the market. There has not been a solution we’ve found like ours simply because the current model means you are either a lender or installer. Direct Solar being one of the only solar brokers in the market means we can work with the customer to find the right installer and the right lender. Matching these two together is a win-win for everyone involved,” states Brian Odle, National Finance Director of Direct Solar.
Coming off of a major month (May 15, 2019 – June 15, 2019), Direct Solar closed $1,709,460 in solar installs. This revenue should generate approximately $803,769 in gross and $361,541 in net. Additionally, the company added three new major service areas with a fourth on the way. This has all been residential driven. The addition of the commercial solar opportunity should dramatically increase the quick growth the company has already been experiencing.
These numbers put Direct Solar on the path to profitability from a cashflow standpoint very quickly. Management from SinglePoint and Direct Solar are very excited to see the continued growth of the solar business through multiple avenues, including commercial.
“This acquisition puts SinglePoint on a huge trajectory path. The solar market is on an extreme growth trajectory and Direct Solar has planted its foot right in the middle of it. Providing installers and financers with qualified customers, while providing these customers a streamlined process for purchasing solar,” states Greg Lambrecht, CEO of SinglePoint.
Sunworks, Inc. (NASDAQ: SUNW), a provider of solar power solutions for agriculture, commercial and industrial (ACI), public works and residential markets, recently announced a new 751 kW solar power construction project for Plumas Mutual Water District, a water company located in Yuba City, California that distributes water for farming operations.

Sunworks Chief Executive Officer, Chuck Cargile, said, “Water districts in California are faced with many challenges, including water shortages, drought and resiliency challenges. Solar can help address these issues in a cost effective way while also helping to ensure crop production and yield are maximized.”

Construction of the new $1.3 million, 751kW ground-mount system project is expected to commence later this year with revenues recognized in the fourth quarter and into the first half of 2019.

Joe Danna, Director of Plumas Mutual said, “From our first meeting, it was clear that the Sunworks team had a strong understanding of our challenges and goals. They designed a system that was tailored to our requirements and helped us understand how we can maximize our cost, so we can serve our customers in a more sustainable and resilient way.”

SunPower Corporation (NASDAQ: SPWR) recently announced that with Hannon Armstrong Sustainable Infrastructure Capital, Inc. and SunStrong Capital Holdings, LLC, it has secured financing commitments for its residential solar lease program that will help meet SunPower's expected customer demand into 2020. SunPower has provided solar lease financing options to customers since 2010. The attractive financing provisions with this new fund will supplement the solar loan and cash sale alternatives currently offered by the company.  

The new fund is structured as a levered tax equity partnership with a multi-party forward purchase commitment, allowing generation of upfront cash margins for residential solar leases. The financing commitments for this new fund are being provided largely from a repeat group of loan and equity providers that continue to have strong long-term relationships with SunPower and Hannon Armstrong.

Bank of America Merrill Lynch acted as the sole structuring and placement agent for the cash equity and multi-draw term loan, as well as the sole tax equity investor. Additional equity capital was provided by SunPower, Hannon Armstrong and their joint venture SunStrong, which holds equity interests in more than 55,000 residential solar energy systems.

"SunPower's strong suite of acquisition options, and our technologically superior solar energy solutions, allows us to continue meeting growing customer demand," said Tom Werner, SunPower CEO and Chairman of the Board. "Thanks to our financing partners, who share our clean energy future goals, we're able to ensure funding to meet the needs of those customers who desire a leasing option."

"This latest fund continues our multi-year programmatic investment with SunPower, helping to decarbonize the residential sector using solar, one of the climate solutions essential to mitigating climate change," said Jeffrey Eckel, Hannon Armstrong President and CEO. "We are especially pleased with the expansion of SunStrong's role in this innovative fund as it demonstrates the increased financial capabilities of this new joint venture with SunPower."

SunPower offers its lease program through its network of residential solar dealers across the US, new home builders where the company holds a market-leading position, and direct sales teams. Last year, SunPower's US residential business saw annual deployment growth of more than 15 percent, bringing the total number of American homes with SunPower® solar to over 275,000 consumers.

Additionally, the company announced that SunStrong has acquired a residential lease portfolio from Capital Dynamics. This transaction adds to SunStrong's existing high-quality asset portfolio with the addition of more than 41 MW and 5,100 residential systems.

This push for solar shows a similar parallel to the cannabis industry wherein, regardless of federal policies, which in the case of solar seem to ignore climate change, the American public as well as American businesses are demanding cheaper and more accessible energy solutions with a heavy focus on solar. These early growth numbers paint a very obvious picture as to where American’s see the future of US energy heading, but we will still have to wait and see if 2019 is in fact going to continue with this first quarter trend.

#Solar #Stocks Snapshot – Looking at Growth in Residential Solar Industry (OTCQB: $SING) (NASDAQ: $SPWR) (NYSE: $NEE) (NYSE: $VSLR)


#Solar #Stocks Snapshot – Looking at Growth in Residential Solar Industry (OTCQB: $SING) (NASDAQ: $SPWR) (NYSE: $NEE) (NYSE: $VSLR)

Point Roberts WA, Delta BC – June 20, 2019 - Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering solar stocks releases a sector snapshot reporting on the continued upswing for the residential side of the solar sector as more states adopt new energy policies and as solar becomes more affordable and accessible to residential consumers.

Companies featured include SinglePoint Inc. (OTCQB: SING), SunPower Corporation (NASDAQ:SPWR), NextEra Energy, Inc. (NYSE: NEE) and Vivint Solar, Inc. (NYSE: VSLR).  


A recent Benzinga news article looking at solar stocks quoted, “Goldman Sachs recently upgraded residential solar stocks, which are making a big comeback so far in 2019, with the INVESCO EXCHANG/SOLAR ETF up 48.5% year to date. However, one Wall Street analyst said Tuesday residential solar stocks will continue to shine in the second half of the year.”

Goldman Sachs analyst Brian Lee commented, “We are incrementally positive on US residential solar stocks and see a number of tactically attractive buying opportunities ahead of 2H19 volume tailwinds and amidst recent signs of ongoing strength in the financing environment.”

SinglePoint Inc. (OTCQB: SING), a new player in the solar sector recently announced that its  acquisition, Direct Solar has surpassed everyone’s expectations signing contracts to deploy $1,709,460 in solar installs over the previous 30 days. This revenue should generate approximately $803,769 in gross and $361,541 in net. Direct Solar and SinglePoint also announced the official addition of three new service areas with a fourth on the way. Tampa, Orlando and St. Louis are officially active and Miami will be activated in the near future. The company has now deployed teams in these areas to drive the explosive growth of Direct Solar.

From a cash flow standpoint, these numbers have quickly put SinglePoint on the path to profitability. Management from both companies are very excited to see the continued growth of Direct Solar through multiple avenues including commercial. Direct Solar is currently negotiating a line of credit for cannabis businesses and other small businesses throughout North America. This provides Direct Solar the ability to not only generate the sale but to also provide the financing for these business owners. Providing financing will deliver Direct Solar another avenue towards generating profits on the origination of the financing.

“This acquisition puts SinglePoint on a huge trajectory path. This is not only a homerun but a grand slam in our eyes. These revenues and profits provide SinglePoint the ability to be in a profitable cash flow position and the opportunity to aggressively expand sales. For every dollar we are putting into marketing we are seeing a return of five. Expanding in additional major markets would exponentially increase the revenues on top of the already explosive growth,” states Greg Lambrecht, CEO of SinglePoint.

SunPower Corporation (NASDAQ:SPWR) recently announced that with Hannon Armstrong Sustainable Infrastructure Capital, Inc. and SunStrong Capital Holdings, LLC, it has secured financing commitments for its residential solar lease program that will help meet SunPower's expected customer demand into 2020. SunPower has provided solar lease financing options to customers since 2010. The attractive financing provisions with this new fund will supplement the solar loan and cash sale alternatives currently offered by the company.  

The new fund is structured as a levered tax equity partnership with a multi-party forward purchase commitment, allowing generation of upfront cash margins for residential solar leases. The financing commitments for this new fund are being provided largely from a repeat group of loan and equity providers that continue to have strong long-term relationships with SunPower and Hannon Armstrong.

"SunPower's strong suite of acquisition options, and our technologically superior solar energy solutions allows us to continue meeting growing customer demand," said Tom Werner, SunPower CEO and Chairman of the Board. "Thanks to our financing partners who share our clean energy future goals, we're able to ensure funding to meet the needs of those customers who desire a leasing option."

"This latest fund continues our multi-year programmatic investment with SunPower, helping to decarbonize the residential sector using solar, one of the climate solutions essential to mitigating climate change," said Jeffrey Eckel, Hannon Armstrong President and CEO. "We are especially pleased with the expansion of SunStrong's role in this innovative fund as it demonstrates the increased financial capabilities of this new joint venture with SunPower."

NextEra Energy, Inc. (NYSE: NEE) recently received a best-in-class preparedness assessment in S&P Global Ratings' Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Evaluation. NextEra Energy's final ESG Evaluation score, 86, is expected to be one of the highest rankings to be given by S&P Global Ratings to any corporate entity within the sector. The best-in-class preparedness assessment, which is anticipated to be applied by S&P Global Ratings only in rare circumstances, reflects NextEra Energy's ability to identify long-term risks and develop and implement plans to mitigate these challenges into new opportunities, distinguishing the company from its peers amid the disruptive forces facing the industry. S&P Global Ratings assessed NextEra Energy's preparedness for all of the company's ESG factors as either good, strong or leading, the top three possible scores. The report specifically highlights NextEra Energy's clean generation profile, code and values, strong safety management program, and leading customer engagement driven by low bills, high reliability and outstanding customer service.

"We are pleased to be recognized for our leading ESG efforts by S&P Global Ratings," said Jim Robo, NextEra Energy Chairman and CEO. "We are deeply committed to doing well by doing good, and that means respecting our environment, providing value for our customers, sustaining our communities, focusing on continuous improvement and innovation, investing in our team and growing shareholder value. Today, we are furthering our commitment to the environment with the announcement of a new goal to continue reducing our carbon dioxide emissions. This goal underscores our deep commitment to environmental protection and stewardship, one of the key areas of our company's sustainability efforts. At NextEra Energy, we firmly believe that we have an unprecedented opportunity to shape how energy is produced and delivered. By investing in smart infrastructure and innovative clean energy solutions, we're helping build a sustainable energy future that is affordable, efficient and clean, while at the same time creating tens of thousands of jobs and generating economic benefits for the communities we serve."

The company also recently reported their first quarter 2019 financial results. "NextEra Energy delivered strong first-quarter results and is well-positioned to meet our overall objectives for the year," said Jim Robo. "We grew adjusted earnings per share by approximately 12% year-over-year, reflecting excellent performance across our businesses. During the quarter, FPL successfully brought online the Okeechobee Clean Energy Center, which is among the cleanest, most fuel-efficient power plants of its kind in the world, on budget and ahead of schedule, and continued to execute one of the largest-ever solar expansions. The Gulf Power integration continues to advance well, and I am confident in our ability to execute our plan for the benefit of customers and shareholders. NextEra Energy Resources continues to capitalize on the best renewables development period in our history with the addition of nearly 1,000 megawatts to its contracted renewables backlog. Combined with the strength of our balance sheet and credit ratings, we continue to believe NextEra Energy is uniquely positioned to drive long-term shareholder value and remain as enthusiastic as ever about our future prospects. I will be disappointed if we are not able to deliver financial results at or near the top end of our 6% to 8% adjusted earnings per share compound annual growth rate range through 2021, off the 2018 base of $7.70 per share, plus the expected deal accretion from the Florida transactions."

Vivint Solar, Inc. (NYSE: VSLR), a leading full-service residential solar provider, announced the closing of a multi-party forward flow funding arrangement that includes project-level debt, a levered tax equity partnership, and a cash equity investment. The transaction provides up to $360 million in total funding commitments. It is structured to generate an upfront cash margin for the company for approximately 95 to 100 megawatts of future solar energy systems. The financing incorporates a multi-party forward purchase commitment anchored by a levered tax equity partnership, a financing structure used last year by Vivint Solar for the first time in the residential solar industry.

Bank of America Merrill Lynch acted as sole structuring and placement agent for the cash equity and multi-draw term loan as well as the sole tax equity investor. Hannon Armstrong (NYSE:HASI) participated as the structured cash equity investor.

"This transaction demonstrates investors confidence in the continuing success of our business model, and its pricing reflects the ongoing growth in revenue generated by our systems," said Vivint Solar CEO, David Bywater. "Investors are seeing the trajectory of our unit economics, and we appreciate the ongoing support of Bank of America Merrill Lynch along with Hannon Armstrong's continued programmatic investment."

"The innovative forward flow funding structure gives Vivint Solar financial flexibility through the cash margin provided by this vehicle for a portion of our future PPA and lease assets," said Vivint Solar's Chief Commercial Officer and Executive Vice President of Capital Markets, Thomas Plagemann. "While our focus is always on providing the best suited products for each homeowner, it is equally important to develop a sustainable funding model so we can continue growing."

As investors continue to gain confidence in solar, a snowball effect of consumer awareness and cost effectiveness, even in the midst of tariff turmoil, may allow solar to continue to gain throughout 2019 as many analysts already predict.

The Future of #Energy: Continued Growth in Energy Solutions #Software and #Technology (OTC: $CLSK) (OTC: $SBGSY) (NYSE: $ABB) (NYSE: $GE)

The Future of #Energy: Continued Growth in Energy Solutions #Software and #Technology (OTC: $CLSK) (OTC: $SBGSY) (NYSE: $ABB) (NYSE: $GE)

Point Roberts WA, Delta BC – June 5, 2019 - Investorideas.com, one of the first investor news resources covering renewable energy stocks releases a sector snapshot reporting on the continued sales growth seen for energy software solutions companies as the technology becomes more widely available and easier to adopt.

In a recent report from Global Industry JournalThe Global Carbon and Energy Software Market Research Report 2019, “The global Carbon and Energy Software market has been growing with steady revenue outcomes for the last decade, however it is anticipated to develop more vigorously in the forecast period as rapidly elevating Carbon and Energy Software demand, raw material affluence, stable financial structure, technological advancements, favorable trade policies, and product awareness are boosting growth in the Carbon and Energy Software market. Also, the market has the potential to become one of the most remunerative industries that are consequently influencing global revenue generation and economic structure.”


CleanSpark, Inc. (OTC: CLSK), a microgrid and custom electrical equipment company with advanced engineering, software and controls for innovative distributed energy resource management systems, recently announced record equipment sales and shipments for the month of May.

Equipment sales for the month of May were more than $1 million, as compared with equipment sales of $431,000 during the first three months of 2019. In total, equipment sales for the quarter ending June 30, 2019 are projected to exceed $1.5 million.  Equipment Sales for CleanSpark's fiscal year are on track to exceed prior estimates of $4 million.

CleanSpark's contracted backlog for equipment has also increased to $6.1 million, an increase of over $2 million since March 31, 2019.


"Continued demand for our sophisticated DER management systems continues to increase, and we are rapidly increasing our backlog and accelerating the conversion of backlog into revenue," commented CEO of CleanSpark, Matthew Schultz. "While the timing of shipments and other factors beyond our control will continue to cause quarter-to-quarter variability in our revenue, the overall trajectory is accelerating in an encouraging manner."

Larger companies, such as the French energy management and automation expert Schneider Electric SE (EPA:SU) (OTC:SBGSYrecently made an investment of an undisclosed amount in AutoGrid Systems Inc, a firm that develops flexibility management software for the energy industry.

While Schneider may not have mentioned exactly how much its venture capital arm put into AutoGrid, they did make a note that the investment would make it a major shareholder in the company.

This move helps create a co-innovation partnership between the two, focused on artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning solutions for distributed energy resources (DERs). Also, it allows Schneider Electric to make use of AutoGrid's existing utility and prosumer capabilities.

The most immediate benefit will be that Schneider Electric will leverage the firm's Energy Internet and Flex platforms to add AI-driven solutions for the distributed energy projects of its customers.

At present, AutoGrid has over 5,000 MW of distributed energy resources under contract with energy companies such as Xcel Energy, National Grid, Total, CPS Energy and CLP Holdings, among others.

Digital technology software solutions aren’t just being used in the obvious sectors, but also in new and exciting ways such as ABB Ltd. (NYSE:ABB) who recently won a contract from Arctic Offshore Farming to power its first-ever remote controlled submersible offshore salmon farm in the Arctic Ocean. ABB will provide a comprehensive package of its leading electrical, automation, instrumentation and telecom technologies that ensure maximum efficiency and minimal environmental impact.

With the global market volume of salmon expected to hit 4.5 million tons by 2023, according to a 2018 report by Research and Markets, the Arctic Offshore Farming project is looking for ways to farm fish in a more sustainable manner. The submerged fish pens are less prone to sea lice which have been linked to a decline in salmon production in Norway – one of the top salmon exporters in the world. The offshore farm located in the Norwegian Sea, part of the Arctic Ocean outside Troms, will have a lower environmental footprint.

The farm will also be connected to ABB Ability™, the company’s cross-digital software offering that collects environmental data, including meteorological conditions, ocean currents, oxygen levels and sea temperature. It also monitors the pH at different depths and the amount of biomass in the cages.

“This unique concept is the perfect platform for ABB to share its vision of building a sustainable and efficient aquaculture industry,” said Kevin Kosiko, Managing Director ABB Energy Industries. “The unmanned fish pens will be remotely controlled by a feed barge located 400 meters away. This reduces the need for human intervention and thereby cuts fuel and electricity consumption and will also enable new solutions for fish farming offshore and onshore with a focus on fish welfare, traceability and food safety.”

Another large electrical giant, GE Renewable Energy, a division of General Electric Company (NYSE:GE), recently signed a three-year agreement with Enel Green Power to provide predictive operation and maintenance capabilities to the group's hydro plants in Spain, with a total capacity of up to 3.2 GW.
The project will start by evaluating the data coming from existing control and monitoring equipment, then it will collect data from individual plants, gathering it in a centralized data lake. From there, data is continuously captured and analyzed with APM (Asset Performance Management) software. Predictive analytics from GE APM are gathered and combined with extensive real-world experience from the operation of hydro plants. GE's Hydro specialists will support EGP in data analysis to make informed recommendations on areas for performance improvement and enhancement.
"The Hydropower industry is shifting dramatically to a much more dynamic and data intensive approach to plant management," said Pascal Radue, Chief Executive Officer of GE's Hydro Solutions. "EGP is ahead of the industry in seeing the potential to improve O&M by harnessing data across a hydro plant in order to optimize OPEX, enhance plant efficiency and avoid failures."
This new contract highlights the growing development of GE Renewable Energy in the digital hydropower space. Today, more than 90 hydropower plants generating more than 30 GW are globally under management by GE's APM solutions.
APM includes software, services and business-process support that together deliver an enterprise-wide view of the impact of asset performance management activities to help plant operators and owners make decisions and evaluate trade-offs on how to run their plants.
It is expected we will continue to see growth in sales and acquisitions in the energy software solutions sector throughout 2019 as the cost of oil and gas and the demand for energy efficient solutions becomes paramount for both large and small scale company success.
