Renewable Energy Stocks Sector Close-Up on Solar Stocks; Solar Stocks Get a Two Day Run with General Markets
POINT ROBERTS, WA and DELTA, BC—November 26, 2008 -- www.RenewableEnergyStocks.com,
a leading investor news and research portal for the renewable energy sector within Investorideas.com, presents a sector close-up on solar stocks following a two day run for some of the leaders. Solar stocks traded up with the general markets but investors are cautiously optimistic following the recent speech from President-elect Obama, discussing job creation in the sector.
Renewable Energy Stocks solar expert, J. Peter Lynch commented in his most recent column, that this market may represent a generational buying opportunity, “I agree that solar P/E’s and expectations were FAR too optimistic and missed a number of rather obvious problems that were rapidly approaching (i.e. coming silicon over supply), however, at this time I believe that current expectations have moved equally to the opposite extreme with FAR too much pessimism.”
Renewable and Solar Energy Perspectives with J. Peter Lynch http://www.renewableenergystocks.com/PL/

Solar Stocks Investor Podcast; Tom Djokovich, CEO of XsunX Inc. (OTCBB: XSNX) Discusses Amorphous Thin Film, the “Thinnest of the Thin Films”
Solar Stocks Investor Podcast; Tom Djokovich, CEO of XsunX Inc. (OTCBB: XSNX) Discusses Amorphous Thin Film, the “Thinnest of the Thin Films”
Mr. Djokovich comments on the long term vision for renewable energy – “Once the financial markets calm down there will be a reinvigorated movement of money into the space”
POINT ROBERTS, WA - October 28, 2008 -- Investorideas.com and its leading green investor portal, RenewableEnergyStocks.com, presents a solar stocks podcast with Tom Djokovich, CEO of XsunX, Inc. (OTCBB: XSNX). XsunX is executing a phased plan to build and install its amorphous silicon thin film solar module manufacturing facility.
Tom Djokovich, CEO of XsunX, discusses his return from the Solar Power International 2008 Conference and Trade Show in San Diego and the feedback and industry insight into the solar sector, and in particular thin film.
Mr. Djokovich reports on the thin film pricing advantage in the market place and if this is a tangible reality or hearsay. “Yes, thin films really do have a pricing advantage in the marketplace. The bottom line is you are starting with lower material costs and more automation, and of the thin films, amorphous is the thinnest. The lower manufacturing cost per watt translates into the ability to sell at a lower cost into the marketplace.”
Mr. Djokovich also discusses XsunX’s costs per watt once the manufacturing facility is up and running. “We see ourselves initially coming in at approximately the $1.30 range at only 58% factory utilization, and we think we can drive our numbers down to $1.00 per watt once we improve factory utilization to 80% or better. After that we will work on reducing the back end packaging costs further. At or near $1.00 per watt will make us extremely competitive in the marketplace.”
Mr. Djokovich also comments on the long term vision for renewable energy,” Once the financial markets calm down there will be a reinvigorated movement of money into the space. The industry is not just poised for growth- it is continuing to grow and right now it is being overshadowed by market conditions. The bottom line in the back room is the industry is growing very well.”

Solar Integrators Deliver Growth
Solar Integrators Deliver Growth
POINT ROBERTS, WA and DELTA, BC—September 18, 2008
Green Investor at Investorideas.com
http://www.investorideas.com/gi/
Column by Paulo Nery Exclusively for Investorideas.com
Solar Integrators Deliver Growth
While the whole market seemed to be slipping downhill on September 15th, there was one bold company that actually listed publicly that day and seemed to roar straight out of the gates. That company was Premier Power Renewable Energy Inc (OTCBB: PPRW) which launched on the Over the Counter (OTC) bulletin board via a reverse merger rather than a standard IPO.
Premier Power (www.premierpower.com) is one of several solar integration companies who make it their business to design and build solar power installations on a medium to large scale. They install systems for commercial, municipal and agricultural as well as residential customers. One of their core markets is wineries and vineyards. Premier operates in Spain, California, Nevada, New York and New Jersey. Plus they are now said to be looking for business in France and Italy.
According to the company’s press release it closed a $7 million private placement of 3.5 million shares at $2 each. Their market capitalization comes in at $151.8 million. They claim customers such as KB Home, Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E), Princeton University, Shafer Vineyards, Silverado Wineries, ATT, and Jay Leno among others.
Premier Power says they posted sales of $16.7 million in 2007 with a net income of $843,865 for the year. They also report that they have contracted $48 million in sales for 2008. At face value, that’s almost 300% growth. However they’ve posted slightly under $18 million on their income statement for the first six months of 2008.
These are some very good and encouraging numbers for Premier. However, I’m cautious about new listings and it will take time to learn about this company. On a macro, level their business may be growing rapidly but for the time being supplies of solar panels could hold them back. Solar panel supplies have been tight for the past three years because silicon supply has been limited. Two of the biggest manufacturers BP Solar and Kyocera say they’re sold out for this year and so do many others. On the other hand, solar manufacturing capacity is ramping up quickly, so next year and beyond could be different.
Premier’s rapid growth in 2008 sales is impressive, but it could be partly due to clients rushing to get systems installed ahead of the expiration of the Federal tax credits at the end of this year. Several other solar installers and integrators have reported this happening among their clients too. Though the existing scheme of tax credits is widely expected to be extended or even made slightly better.
And while the business is obviously growing, solar power is not really economically viable yet at the true cost of solar photovoltaic panels. The entire solar industry is underpinned by government subsidy and incentives at the moment. That’s a place where nothing is really for certain, and seems slightly uncomfortable to me. It’s fairly clear that if Senator Obama wins the presidential election he’ll be pushing for more solar incentives which will help companies like Premier. But Senator McCain’s position is somewhat less clear.
Longer term, there are positive factors for solar integrators and installers. Firstly, silicon prices are falling. Then there are alternative solar technologies emerging like thin film which hold out the promise of much lower cost. Companies like XsunX (OTCBB:XSNX) are working to complete the assembly of their multi-megawatt thin film manufacturing operations and begin delivering thin film solar modules to a growing market that is clamouring for more supplies and lower prices solutions. In addition to thin film technologies offering lower costs today experts expect that costs may continue to go lower still making thin film solutions such as those offered by XsunX highly attractive. Thin film is generally seen as a utility scale solution because of its lower efficiency and therefore greater area needed to generate the same power. But as its cost drops and efficiency increases it will make increasing sense for small commercial and residential applications. That could easily spark new demand and at the same time improve margins for the installers and integration companies.
Premier is by no means the only big solar installer/integrator play out there. Another to consider is Akeena Solar (AKNS) which with a market cap of $108 million, is a similar company to PPRW in size and in their operating regions. Akeena Solar (www.akeena.net) focuses on markets in California, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut. But Akeena is also more focused on residential and small commercial market which according to SolarBuzz, a research and consulting firm, represent approximately 65 percent of the U.S. market, and will continue to do so through 2010.
One of the things that sets Akeena apart is their patented installation methods and products. They have identified that mounting arrays on rooftops is a time consuming and hazardous undertaking. So they came up with a way to cut some of the steps out of the process. Ordinarily installers put brackets on the roof, then the racking system, then mount and wire the panels. Akeena’s new Andalay technology cuts out 50% of the rooftop labor and uses 70% fewer parts. They build the racks directly onto the panels and pre-wire the array so that the individual panels snap together easily on the roof. The result is also sleeker looking with the individual panels closer together and the whole array lying lower to the roof so less obtrusive.
Akeena is not yet profitable, but say they expect to be by 2010. For 2007 they reported losses of $11 million against sales of $32 million. Their stated goal for 2008 is to double revenues from 2007. They are clearly positioning themselves for the residential and small commercial market which they believe will be significantly more lucrative next year if the current cap of $2000 on the 35% Federal tax credit is increased or removed.
Apart from these two there are hundreds of smaller private companies in the integration and installation space operating more locally. They’ll offer competition and some may emerge in time as public companies too. And there are companies like BP who design and install systems as well as manufacturing panels. But being an integrated energy company, they are more levered to oil and can not be regarded as an investment play on solar.
While wind has grown more quickly in the past few years with massive installations going up, solar is now gaining fast. A huge number of rooftops that could be collecting power across the country so the potential is truly enormous. And if the tax incentives are improved with higher or no caps then the growth in the residential market could be explosive.

They claim customers such as KB Home, Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E), Princeton University, Shafer Vineyards, Silverado Wineries, ATT, and Jay Leno among others.
Premier Power says they posted sales of $16.7 million in 2007 with a net income of $843,865 for the year. They also report that they have contracted $48 million in sales for 2008. At face value, that’s almost 300% growth. However they’ve posted slightly under $18 million on their income statement for the first six months of 2008.
These are some very good and encouraging numbers for Premier. However, I’m cautious about new listings and it will take time to learn about this company. On a macro, level their business may be growing rapidly but for the time being supplies of solar panels could hold them back. Solar panel supplies have been tight for the past three years because silicon supply has been limited. Two of the biggest manufacturers BP Solar and Kyocera say they’re sold out for this year and so do many others. On the other hand, solar manufacturing capacity is ramping up quickly, so next year and beyond could be different.
Premier’s rapid growth in 2008 sales is impressive, but it could be partly due to clients rushing to get systems installed ahead of the expiration of the Federal tax credits at the end of this year. Several other solar installers and integrators have reported this happening among their clients too. Though the existing scheme of tax credits is widely expected to be extended or even made slightly better.
And while the business is obviously growing, solar power is not really economically viable yet at the true cost of solar photovoltaic panels. The entire solar industry is underpinned by government subsidy and incentives at the moment. That’s a place where nothing is really for certain, and seems slightly uncomfortable to me. It’s fairly clear that if Senator Obama wins the presidential election he’ll be pushing for more solar incentives which will help companies like Premier. But Senator McCain’s position is somewhat less clear.
Longer term, there are positive factors for solar integrators and installers. Firstly, silicon prices are falling. Then there are alternative solar technologies emerging like thin film which hold out the promise of much lower cost. Companies like XsunX (OTCBB:XSNX) are working to complete the assembly of their multi-megawatt thin film manufacturing operations and begin delivering thin film solar modules to a growing market that is clamouring for more supplies and lower prices solutions. In addition to thin film technologies offering lower costs today experts expect that costs may continue to go lower still making thin film solutions such as those offered by XsunX highly attractive. Thin film is generally seen as a utility scale solution because of its lower efficiency and therefore greater area needed to generate the same power. But as its cost drops and efficiency increases it will make increasing sense for small commercial and residential applications. That could easily spark new demand and at the same time improve margins for the installers and integration companies.
Premier is by no means the only big solar installer/integrator play out there. Another to consider is Akeena Solar (AKNS) which with a market cap of $108 million, is a similar company to PPRW in size and in their operating regions. Akeena Solar (www.akeena.net) focuses on markets in California, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut. But Akeena is also more focused on residential and small commercial market which according to SolarBuzz, a research and consulting firm, represent approximately 65 percent of the U.S. market, and will continue to do so through 2010.
One of the things that sets Akeena apart is their patented installation methods and products. They have identified that mounting arrays on rooftops is a time consuming and hazardous undertaking. So they came up with a way to cut some of the steps out of the process. Ordinarily installers put brackets on the roof, then the racking system, then mount and wire the panels. Akeena’s new Andalay technology cuts out 50% of the rooftop labor and uses 70% fewer parts. They build the racks directly onto the panels and pre-wire the array so that the individual panels snap together easily on the roof. The result is also sleeker looking with the individual panels closer together and the whole array lying lower to the roof so less obtrusive.
Akeena is not yet profitable, but say they expect to be by 2010. For 2007 they reported losses of $11 million against sales of $32 million. Their stated goal for 2008 is to double revenues from 2007. They are clearly positioning themselves for the residential and small commercial market which they believe will be significantly more lucrative next year if the current cap of $2000 on the 35% Federal tax credit is increased or removed.
Apart from these two there are hundreds of smaller private companies in the integration and installation space operating more locally. They’ll offer competition and some may emerge in time as public companies too. And there are companies like BP who design and install systems as well as manufacturing panels. But being an integrated energy company, they are more levered to oil and can not be regarded as an investment play on solar.
While wind has grown more quickly in the past few years with massive installations going up, solar is now gaining fast. A huge number of rooftops that could be collecting power across the country so the potential is truly enormous. And if the tax incentives are improved with higher or no caps then the growth in the residential market could be explosive.

Renewable Energy Stocks Green Investor Audio Interview with
Renewable Energy Stocks Green Investor Audio Interview with
Tom Djokovich, CEO of Thin Film Solar Company, XsunX, Inc. (OTCBB: XSNX)
“We’ve designed our solar modules specifically for the electrical utilities scale market”
POINT ROBERTS, WA and DELTA, BC—August 19, 2008 -- www.RenewableEnergyStocks.com,
a leading investor news and research portal for the renewable energy sector within Investorideas.com, presents a green investor audio interview with Tom Djokovich, CEO of XsunX, Inc. (OTCBB: XSNX). XsunX, Inc is a solar technology Company engaged in the build-out of its multi-megawatt thin film photovoltaic solar manufacturing facilities.
In the interview, Tom Djokovich, CEO of XsunX discusses the company’s business model, the thin film solar technology, recent progress, market drivers and current bids and proposals in the pipeline.
“A year ago we designed a solar module and a manufacturing system to produce it. In January we began building a manufacturing facility near Portland Oregon. To start, we will build about 25 megawatts of production capacity, which represents approximately 200,000 marketable solar panels per year, and then grow that capacity to 35 megawatts by improving our system performance and adding work shifts. We then plan to begin efforts to scale to 100 megawatts of manufacturing capacity by some time in 2010”, Tom Djokovich summarizes in describing his business model.
According to Mr. Djokovich, “Our modules are designed for the electrical utilities scale market where thousands of solar modules are used in each power field. We have started bidding projects for utilities and government agencies to install our modules. The second part of our target market is the conventional installer and integrator where we have received significant requests for purchases of our modules in 2009 and later.”
In addressing the opportunity, Mr. Djokovich notes “The electrical market is enormous. To keep up with demand, the utilities are reaching out for new power production methods that are clean and safe. Long term, these power fields are great investments that can provide a 5 year payback on the average installation and then you have 15 years of cash flow with low operating costs. We see this trend picking up significantly and have positioned ourselves to take advantage of this opportunity.”

Renewable Energy Stocks Sector Close- Up on Solar Stocks Performance; “Solar Stocks Exploded to the Upside” Reports J. Peter Lynch
Renewable Energy Stocks Sector Close- Up on Solar Stocks Performance; “Solar Stocks Exploded to the Upside” Reports J. Peter Lynch
Foreign Investment in Thin Film Solar Stock Attributed to Momentum
POINT ROBERTS, WA and DELTA, BC –March 31, 2008, www.RenewableEnergyStocks.com, a leading investor news and research portal for the renewable energy sector within Investorideas.com, presents a sector close- up on solar stocks following last weeks surge.
Commenting on recent solar stock activity, Brian C. Yerger, Research Analyst at Jesup & Lamont Securities attributed some of the momentum to thin film solar company, Ascent Solar Technologies
(News, Market ). Norsk Hydro ASA increased ownership in ASTI by purchasing an additional 2,341,897 shares with gross proceeds to the company of approximately $28.4 million. He reports in an audio commentary, “With a weak dollar, foreign companies may be looking at some of these smaller solar stocks as extremely cheap investments in terms of future performance.”

Other factors in the solar stocks spike include earnings from Solarfun beating estimates and the announcement of the Southern California Edison (News, Market) 250 megawatt installation.
Renewable Energy Stocks solar expert, J Peter Lynch gives a different spin,” In my opinion, one of the primary reasons for this solar rally is really quite simple – NO MORE SELLERS were left to drive solar stock down any further. In his recent column he goes on to say, “Last week, seemingly out of nowhere, solar stocks literally exploded (up over 15% for the week) catching almost everyone by total surprise. The general market has recently been in turmoil over the housing crisis, the credit crunch and the looming fear of an impending recession; not exactly a general market environment conducive for rallies in any sector. But in spite of this bleak backdrop the solar sector roared ahead regardless.”
In terms of future success in the solar sector he reports he looks for companies that are “ vertically integrated in the traditional silicon segment, have cost effective thin film products or are in higher margin areas such as building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV). “
Lux Research forecasts a shakeout in the solar industry, “We project that the supply of solar modules will exceed demand in 2009, leading to falling prices and a shake-out among companies that aren’t prepared to thrive in this new environment – particularly crystalline silicon players that haven’t invested in new thin-film technologies.”
Tom Djokovich, CEO of thin film solar company XsunX, Inc. (OTCBB: XSNX) presented,
“Thin film solar technologies offer opportunities to deliver the lower cost per watt. This is due to lower material costs, and the ability to scale and automate manufacturing processes. I believe that these are among the reasons that analysts anticipate greater compounded growth rates for thin films than other solar technologies.”
XsunX, Inc. (OTCBB: XSNX) is developing amorphous silicon thin film photovoltaic (TFPV) solar cell manufacturing processes to produce TFPV solar modules. XsunX, Inc. (OTCBB: XSNX) closed at 0.44 on Friday, up 10.00% on over 460,000 shares.

Foreign Investment in Thin Film Solar Stock Attributed to Momentum
POINT ROBERTS, WA and DELTA, BC –March 31, 2008, www.RenewableEnergyStocks.com, a leading investor news and research portal for the renewable energy sector within Investorideas.com, presents a sector close- up on solar stocks following last weeks surge.
Commenting on recent solar stock activity, Brian C. Yerger, Research Analyst at Jesup & Lamont Securities attributed some of the momentum to thin film solar company, Ascent Solar Technologies
(News, Market ). Norsk Hydro ASA increased ownership in ASTI by purchasing an additional 2,341,897 shares with gross proceeds to the company of approximately $28.4 million. He reports in an audio commentary, “With a weak dollar, foreign companies may be looking at some of these smaller solar stocks as extremely cheap investments in terms of future performance.”

Other factors in the solar stocks spike include earnings from Solarfun beating estimates and the announcement of the Southern California Edison (News, Market) 250 megawatt installation.
Renewable Energy Stocks solar expert, J Peter Lynch gives a different spin,” In my opinion, one of the primary reasons for this solar rally is really quite simple – NO MORE SELLERS were left to drive solar stock down any further. In his recent column he goes on to say, “Last week, seemingly out of nowhere, solar stocks literally exploded (up over 15% for the week) catching almost everyone by total surprise. The general market has recently been in turmoil over the housing crisis, the credit crunch and the looming fear of an impending recession; not exactly a general market environment conducive for rallies in any sector. But in spite of this bleak backdrop the solar sector roared ahead regardless.”
In terms of future success in the solar sector he reports he looks for companies that are “ vertically integrated in the traditional silicon segment, have cost effective thin film products or are in higher margin areas such as building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV). “
Lux Research forecasts a shakeout in the solar industry, “We project that the supply of solar modules will exceed demand in 2009, leading to falling prices and a shake-out among companies that aren’t prepared to thrive in this new environment – particularly crystalline silicon players that haven’t invested in new thin-film technologies.”

Renewable Energy Stocks Audio Interview; Ezra Green, CEO & Chairman of Clear Skies Solar, Inc. (OTCBB: CSKH) Discusses Business Model and Development of New Solar Technologies
“We are very similar to SunEdison, with the structure of doing installations internally”
POINT ROBERTS, WA and DELTA, BC - March 27, 2008 - http://www.renewableenergystocks.com/,
a leading investor news and research portal for the renewable energy sector within Investorideas.com, presents a sector close-up audio interview on solar stocks featuring Ezra Green, CEO and Chairman of Clear Skies Solar, Inc. (OTCBB: CSKH).
When asked what larger company Clear Skies Solar, Inc. (OTCBB: CSKH) could be comparable to, strictly from a business model, Mr. Green responded, “We are very similar to the SunEdisons, (http://www.sunedison.com/ ) with the structure of doing installations internally. We have all the talent in-house, with the exception of contract labor. We are project managers and we have the experience to install and completely manage large scale projects.”
Clear Skies Solar, Inc. (OTCBB: CSKH) is also developing technology, to stay ahead of their competition. Mr. Green goes on to discuss the company’s X-Trax™ Solar monitoring system that was developed in- house and the development of new technologies moving forward. “If we need a specific tool for the industry to give us an edge over the competition, we need to develop it in- house so we can be more expeditious in our installations, be more competitive in our pricing, and of course add to the speed of the installations while maintaining high quality. We are always developing new products and filing patents to make sure we are leading and cutting edge in the industry. “
Following up on the X-Trax™ news, the company recently announced a new proprietary TetraPort Solar Energy Carport System, the third solar technology solution developed exclusively by Clear Skies Solar.
In terms of new markets, Mr. Green went on to say the company is exploring Asian Markets, as well as Australia and South Africa.
