Barclays Capital analyst Vishal Shah this morning raised his ratings on both ReneSola (SOL) and Trina Solar (TSL) to Overweight from Equal Weight, asserting that the Street is too bearish on expectations for the solar industry for 2011.
Barclays Capital analyst Vishal Shah this morning raised his ratings on both ReneSola (SOL) and Trina Solar (TSL) to Overweight from Equal Weight, asserting that the Street is too bearish on expectations for the solar industry for 2011. Shah says solar stocks appear to be discounting a scenario of flat industry shipments in 2011 along with a module ASP decline of over 15%. But he thinks industry volumes will actually grow at least 20%, with ASP declines in line with expectations. He sees demand for next year at 16 GW, well above the Street consensus at 13.7 GW

Hybrid Manufacturing Solution May Lower Solar Costs

Hybrid Manufacturing Solution May Lower Solar Costs
August 11, 2010 (Investorideas.com renewable energy/green newswire) Investorideas.com and its green investor portals release commentary on solar trends from Lisa Springer, CFA, Equity research analyst and financial writer. Featured within the report is solar stock, XsunX, Inc. (OTCBB: XSNX), a solar company developing CIGSolar™ Technology.
Hybrid Manufacturing Solution May Lower Solar Costs
Public Companies within this article include: XsunX (OTCBB: XSNX), Intevac (NASDAQ:IVAC), Sunpower (NASDAQ: SPWRA, SPWRB), Chevron Energy (NYSE: CVX)
Lisa Springer, CFA
Equity research analyst and financial writer
The US solar module market grew 36% in 2009, according to market research firm Solarbuzz, fueled by lower cost photovoltaic (PV) cell modules, government incentives and increased use of solar energy by the utilities sector. Solar energy incentives at the state level supported approximately 30% of PV installations, but experts expect federal government incentives to be the primary driver of demand over the next two years. Solarbuzz forecasts 10-fold growth in the solar market growth by 2015, which is equivalent to 30% annual growth.
Market leaders in solar installations include Sunpower (NASDAQ: SPWRA, SPWRB), Chevron Energy (NYSE: CVX) and SPG Solar. In addition, REC Solar and Solar City are big beneficiaries of rising residential demand.
The main obstacle to wider-scale adoption of solar energy is cost. While sunlight is free, solar panels are expensive and not especially efficient. Regionally-based coal and natural gas utilities produce electricity, deliver it to customers and require little or no infrastructure investment from the customer, but solar requires large up-front investments from the user. Even with declining costs and financing that allows installations costs to be amortized over many years, solar power costs can be nearly twice coal or natural gas costs in certain areas. Depending on location and the type of solar technology used, a kilowatt hour of solar electricity can cost more than 20 cents, far more than electricity from coal or natural gas, which costs between 2 and 10 cents a kilowatt-hour, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The silver lining for solar, however, is that per kilowatt hour costs are calculated by dividing the amount of power produced over a multi-year period into the cost of the solar system. This means that at some point the original cost of the system is fully amortized and future operating costs are minimal, while coal and natural gas continue to consume valuable resources at ever increasing costs.
Solar panels are expensive because of high silicon, assembly materials, and labor costs. Manufacturers compete with the semiconductor industry for silicon supplies and the result has been periodic silicon shortages and volatile prices. To reduce manufacturing costs, solar companies are investing in alternative technologies and assembly methods such as thin films that require less silicon and can be produced on highly automated assembly lines. Thin film is a process where material is coated onto a substrate via a plasma field or some form of vapor deposition. A much smaller amount of material is used to achieve the required solar absorber thickness. As a result, thin film cells are just a few micrometers thick, unlike conventional silicon cells, which exceed 100 micrometers in thickness. However, a drawback of most thin film devices is lower electrical power production efficiencies than silicon. This is because red and near-infrared photons don't stay trapped inside some thin film absorbers long enough to be fully absorbed.
One thin film technology called CIGS-(Copper, Indium, Gallium, and Selenium) has the potential to reduce solar cell manufacturing costs significantly and improve production yields. CIGS has several characteristics that make it a valuable PV material. It is highly absorbent, capturing 99% of sunlight energy in the first micrometer of the solar device, thus enabling even thinner films. In addition, CIGS retains its performance characteristics and degrades more slowly than other thin films over the 20 to 30 year life span of installed solar systems, is amendable to automated production and potentially offers much higher conversion efficiencies. CIGS holds the world record for thin film energy conversion at nearly 20%, making it a top contender to replace more costly silicon.
Investors are making big bets on CIGS solar cell manufacturing and companies such as MiaSole, Global Solar, NanoSolar, Solyndra and others have received significant funding. Solar Frontier, which is part of Showa Shell, is building a 900 megawatt factory in Japan, Stion just raised $70 million to expand manufacturing capacity and Solyndra is using a $535 million federal loan to build a factory.
Solar companies are investing tens of millions of dollars in the development of manufacturing technologies and related equipment, and will likely wait several years to realize a return on investment. Solar technology company XsunX (OTCBB: XSNX) is taking a different approach. Instead of building infrastructure, XsunX is working on an innovative CIGS manufacturing solution (CIGSolar™), which combines reliable manufacturing techniques from the hard disc (HD) industry with small area co-evaporation deposition processes that produce high efficiency CIGS thin films. XsunX believes its hybrid technology may improve manufacturing output, boost cell efficiency and production yields, and reduce overall costs significantly. This would allow CIGS produced electricity to compete more favorably with conventional coal and natural gas produced electricity.
The Company is working with Intevac (NASDAQ:IVAC), a world leader in HD manufacturing equipment, under a joint business development agreement to develop its equipment and processes. XsunX plans to license its technology through joint ventures with larger companies and generate revenues from licensing fees and manufacturing royalties. With this approach, XsunX capitalizes on growth in the solar market while minimizing investment in infrastructure and accelerating its path to profitability.
XsunX began full scale development efforts last year and completed a fully functional CIGS thin film solar device in early 2010. The Company is working to complete its hybrid manufacturing approach and recently applied for a grant from the Department of Energy, which is helping to fund breakthrough products or processes in the PV industry.
IBIS Associates, a technology consulting firm hired to assess the potential of XsunX’s CIGSolar™ technology, estimates solar module manufacturers who currently use multi-crystalline solar cells in their products could reduce costs by more than $646 million over the next five years by replacing a portion of the silicon solar cells used with products based on CIGSolar™ technology.
At present, the Company is assembling co-evaporation chambers that will allow it to develop full-size CIGS cells and proof the interoperability of the Company’s hybrid approach. The Company’s work plan was temporarily delayed by an industry-wide component shortage, but XsunX received the necessary parts in mid-July and is on track to complete assembly and begin calibration of a system for full-sized CIGS cells in the next few weeks. In the second half of 2010, XsunX plans to complete the design of its production equipment, lay the groundwork for JV manufacturing partnerships, build and install a pilot line and develop relationships with other recognized third parties who can validate the benefits of its technology.

Current Status of Solar Stocks
Solar stocks did great for the first 12 months of the current bull market (3/09 – 3/10) – up an average of 124%. But as I mentioned in an earlier article the vast majority of that gain was centered in a 8 CHINESE stocks - CSIG,CSUN,JASO,LDK,SOLF,STP,TSL and YGE which were up an amazing 267.96% on average, certainly the major reason that the group as a whole was up 124%. Without the Chinese companies the solar group would have actually underperformed the major averages for that 12 month period.
Looking a bit deeper, OVER 50% of the 267.96% gain was from 2 stocks – CSIG and TSL. This is an extreme case of narrowing (2 of 21) leadership in a sector and is usually a bad sign for the sector. Also note that all of these “leaders” were Chinese companies, which indicates to me that the trend is clearly to LOWEST COST. Good for the Chinese companies, maybe not so good for U.S. and European based companies.
Looking at the first quarter of 2010 the numbers reflect this narrowing with solar sector underperforming the general market significantly.
Solar Stock Performance First Quarter 2010
All Solar Stocks Average -9.89%
Dow Jones +4.11%
S&P 500 +4.87%
NASDAQ +5.68%
So what does all this mean for the investor interested in the solar market sector?
1. It means that the industry is starting another transition phase in its long term growth. This is a period of “lowest cost wins” and of industry wide profit margin compression.
2. It means that because of these factors and probably a host of other factors (lower natural gas prices, uncertainly of government policy etc.) that the solar segment has been a lagging market sector and probably not one which is optimal at this time for new investment. Especially given the higher risk level that the general market is at now.
3. It also means, in my opinion, that the U.S. has to wake up and start to move forward NOW (instead of our “usual” approach of - thinking about having a meeting to discuss planning to do something maybe sometime in the future etc. etc. - i.e. all talk and very little action of any significance) with a strategy to compete with our lower cost Chinese friends. I do not think we can beat them at their own game – lowest cost via cheap labor etc. What we have to do NOW is to do what we do best – INNOVATE. This is the time for investment and focus on new technologies, “out of the box” technologies and not the same old thing. This is a time to increase focus, investment and activity NOT slow down and wait around for someone else to do something that we have historically always been the best at doing. The ball is in our court.

Without the Chinese companies the solar group would have actually underperformed the major averages for that 12 month period.
Looking a bit deeper, OVER 50% of the 267.96% gain was from 2 stocks – CSIG and TSL. This is an extreme case of narrowing (2 of 21) leadership in a sector and is usually a bad sign for the sector. Also note that all of these “leaders” were Chinese companies, which indicates to me that the trend is clearly to LOWEST COST. Good for the Chinese companies, maybe not so good for U.S. and European based companies.
Looking at the first quarter of 2010 the numbers reflect this narrowing with solar sector underperforming the general market significantly.
Solar Stock Performance First Quarter 2010
All Solar Stocks Average -9.89%
Dow Jones +4.11%
S&P 500 +4.87%
NASDAQ +5.68%
So what does all this mean for the investor interested in the solar market sector?
1. It means that the industry is starting another transition phase in its long term growth. This is a period of “lowest cost wins” and of industry wide profit margin compression.
2. It means that because of these factors and probably a host of other factors (lower natural gas prices, uncertainly of government policy etc.) that the solar segment has been a lagging market sector and probably not one which is optimal at this time for new investment. Especially given the higher risk level that the general market is at now.
3. It also means, in my opinion, that the U.S. has to wake up and start to move forward NOW (instead of our “usual” approach of - thinking about having a meeting to discuss planning to do something maybe sometime in the future etc. etc. - i.e. all talk and very little action of any significance) with a strategy to compete with our lower cost Chinese friends. I do not think we can beat them at their own game – lowest cost via cheap labor etc. What we have to do NOW is to do what we do best – INNOVATE. This is the time for investment and focus on new technologies, “out of the box” technologies and not the same old thing. This is a time to increase focus, investment and activity NOT slow down and wait around for someone else to do something that we have historically always been the best at doing. The ball is in our court.

Haiti Relief Efforts Double with Installed Solar Lights
Haiti Relief Efforts Double with Installed Solar Lights Sol, Inc. donation allows hospitals, food distribution, and relief camps to operate past dusk
PALM CITY, Fla., Jan. 15 - Millions of dollars of relief may never reach Haitians in time unless roadways, relief camps, hospitals and distribution areas can operate past dark.
Donating $300,000 and organizing relief efforts for Haiti, Sol, Inc. is no stranger to the effect solar lights have on safety and security. With over 40,000 solar lighting systems installed in over 60 countries on six continents, Sol, Inc. CEO Rick Schuett knew that the Sol, Inc. team had the expertise and desire to make a real difference.
"The Board of Directors chaired by Michael Sonnenfeldt, along with Sol, Inc. employees felt compelled to assist the victims of this earthquake," said Rick Schuett, CEO of Sol, Inc. "We know that once our solar lighting systems are installed, we will effectively double the amount of available relief effort time by allowing aid workers and rescuers to work around the clock when previously operations had to cease at dusk. In addition, our lighting systems will provide safety and security as well as being a hallmark that civility is being restored to the area."
The total donation is expected to exceed $400,000 with assistance from suppliers, donations and a solar light matching program.
Facilitating the assistance to Haiti is not a small task.
Sol, Inc. is working with Florida Congressman Rooney's Stuart office, several relief agencies and government agencies to transport the solar lights from Florida and get them installed in Haiti as quickly as possible. Missionary Flights International - http://www.missionaryflights.org - based in Ft. Piece has graciously agreed to fly some of the solar lighting systems as well as Sol, Inc. volunteers. Sol, Inc. is working with other relief organizations such as World Vision - http://www.worldvision.org , Unicef - http://www.unicef.org and Hands On Disaster Response - http://www.hodr.org to coordinate the installation, local logistics and security for the traveling team.
In addition, Sol, Inc. is dispatching a 44' catamaran donated by local entrepreneur Deane Blazie of Jupiter Island, which is scheduled to leave late Sunday or Monday (depending on weather). The boat will remain in Haiti for the next several weeks providing ground support and logistics.
Several of Sol, Inc.'s suppliers have generously donated time and materials including Alliance Composites Inc., C & L Technologies, Citizen Electronics, Haze Battery U.S.A., Karl Lust and SPOSTO Interactive, allowing Sol, Inc. to increase the number of solar light systems that will be available to the relief efforts.
"Our efforts will continue," said Schuett. "If you or your organization would like to donate money, medical supplies, water or equipment, please contact us immediately. Sol, Inc. is also actively seeking air and ocean transportation avenues for forthcoming donations."
Victor Sotolongo is coordinating the Solar Lights Donation logistics for Sol, Inc. Call, text or email him at 772.205-9987 or v.sotolongo@solarlighting.com .
Sol will be providing additional lights through a special ongoing Solar Lights for Haiti matching program it has established. For every solar light system purchased, Sol, Inc. will match the donation with a second solar light system. To support the solar lights for Haiti relief effort, visit http://www.solarlighting.com and click "Donate Light to Haiti Earthquake Victims."
Sol, Inc.'s solar light philanthropy program has assisted victims and volunteers in disaster recovery. Past recipients include: Hurricane Katrina Recovery Lighting (2005), Hurricane Rita Recovery Lighting (2005), Peruvian Earthquake Relief (2007), and Chapman, Kansas Tornado Redevelopment Lighting (2009).

Solar Stock XsunX Inc (OTCBB:XSNX) .: Rated 'Speculative Buy,' Target Price $2.90 by Beacon Equity Research
XsunX Inc.: Rated 'Speculative Buy,' Target Price $2.90 by Beacon Equity Research
XSUNX Inc. DALLAS-XsunX Inc. (OTCBB: XSNX - News) has been rated Speculative Buy with a price target of $2.90 by Beacon Analyst, Lisa Springer, CFA.
The full report is available at www.beaconequity.com
Anyone interested in receiving alerts regarding XSNX research should e-mail members@beaconequity.com with “XSNX” in the subject line.

Yingli Green Energy (NYSE: YGE ) Becomes the First China-Based Company to Join PV CYCLE
Yingli Green Energy Becomes the First China-Based Company to Join PV CYCLE
BAODING, China, May 11 2009 -Yingli Green Energy Holding Company Limited (NYSE: YGE ), one of the world's leading vertically integrated photovoltaic (''PV'') product manufacturers, today announced that it has become the first China-based company and the 40th member to join PV CYCLE, an organization based in Brussels, Belgium that promotes voluntary take-back and recycling of end-of-life PV modules. As a member, Yingli Green Energy will participate in PV CYCLE working groups whose aim is to define collection and recycling targets for the PV industry, develop voluntary agreements among members and hone PV CYCLE's business model and outreach strategy.
''As one of the world's leading vertically integrated photovoltaic product manufacturers, Yingli Green Energy is committed to helping lead the search for a truly sustainable energy solution to reduce life-cycle energy consumption and the environmental impacts associated with PV production. Our membership to PV CYCLE will substantiate our commitment to customers, authorities and stakeholders, while allowing us to join a global team of industry leaders that are similarly committed to preventing climate change tomorrow,'' said Mr. Liansheng Miao, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Yingli Green Energy.
''We are honored that Yingli Green Energy has become the first China-based PV manufacturer to join our organization. We hope Yingli Green Energy's commitment to reducing the environmental impact of PV production will encourage other Asian manufacturers to take steps towards developing a sustainable PV solar industry,'' said Jan Clyncke, Managing Director of PV CYCLE. ''PV modules are designed to generate clean, renewable energy that can last for more than 25 years. The first significant installations took place in the early 1990s, and full-scale end-of-life recycling is still another 10 to 15 years away. It is with this in mind that we aim to bring industry leaders together to devise solutions that will have the maximum impact when the time comes.''
The PV CYCLE membership, which began on April 29, 2009, represents another step forward in Yingli Green Energy's commitment to developing sustainable energy solutions throughout all stages of the PV value chain. In addition to module recycling, Yingli Green Energy has also developed award-winning water treatment procedures which have received ISO 14000 and 14001 certification.
About Yingli Green Energy
Yingli Green Energy Holding Company Limited is one of the world's leading vertically integrated PV product manufacturers. Through Baoding Tianwei Yingli New Energy Resources Co., Ltd., an operating subsidiary of the Company, Yingli Green Energy designs, manufactures and sells PV modules and designs, assembles, sells and installs PV systems that are connected to an electricity transmission grid or operate on a stand-alone basis. With 400 MW of total annual production capacity in each of polysilicon ingots and wafers, PV cells and PV modules, Yingli Green Energy is currently one of the largest manufacturers of PV products in the world as measured by annual production capacity. Additionally, Yingli Green Energy is one of a limited number of large-scale PV companies in the world to have adopted a vertically integrated business model. Through its wholly owned subsidiary, Yingli Energy (China) Co., Ltd., Yingli Green Energy currently plans to expand annual production capacity of polysilicon ingots and wafers, PV cells and PV modules to 600 MW in the third quarter of 2009. The Company, through Fine Silicon Co., Ltd., its wholly owned subsidiary, also plans to begin production of solar-grade polysilicon in the second half of 2009.

About PV CYCLE
PV CYCLE was founded in 2007 with the specific purpose of implementing the photovoltaic industry's commitment to set up a voluntary take-back and recycling program for end-of-life waste PV modules. To produce green and renewable energy, end-of-life modules need to be recovered and recycled. This will minimize waste and allow the re-use of valuable raw materials to produce new modules. The members of PV CYCLE are in the final stages of developing the scheme and aim to present it to the European Commission by spring 2009 for formal acknowledgement. By closing the life cycle of photovoltaic modules, industry players take their responsibility and are ''Making the photovoltaic industry Double Green.''
