Solar Stocks Bouncing off Bottom – Led by Solar Seven

Over the past few weeks the market has been one of those short term “trendless” markets that can drive investors crazy and make it very difficult to make money. The markets as a whole are still in a longer term down trend but one day the market drops over 100 points and the next it moves up over 200 points, but that is the recent volatility that we will have to learn to live with.

However, quietly behind the scenes the solar sector has started to come alive and a number of stocks have been showing strength and have moved above their 50 day moving averages.

As any of you longer term readers know I have always said that two of the keys to successful investing are:

1. Stocks moving above (positive) their 50 day average is a good short term trading tool; and

2. Looking at the relative strength of all of the solar stocks compared to the market will tell you which solar stocks are the “strongest stocks” and therefore which stocks will tend to be the leaders in the next big up move.

At the moment there are 7 solar stocks that are clearly leading the pack and are showing that they, at least for the time being, are the leaders in the group.

Symbol Curr Value % Change since 6/1 %Change YTD

JASO 6.33 36.96 11.0088

JKS 25.36 145.26 0

LDK 7.15 27.45 1.9971

SOL 9.04 64.96 89.92

SOLF 10.92 58.26 43.12

SOLR 8.26 55.26 48.56

TSL 27.11 62.82 0.4632



Major Indexes



S&P 500 1080.29 0.89 -3.12

Dow Jones 10269.47 2.45 -1.52

NASDAQ 2176.84 -2.05 -4.07



As you can see all of the “solar seven” have done extremely well since June 1 2010 and are even up for the year to date. These are the leaders and these are the ones to watch because the market is telling us that they will “most likely” be the leaders in the next stage.

Note: JKS is 0 in the year to date column because it is a recent IPO

2009 Solar Decathlon Winners Announced

2009 Solar Decathlon Winners Announced


WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Department of Energy Deputy Secretary Daniel Poneman today announced the winners of the 2009 Department of Energy Solar Competition on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Team Germany, the student team from Darmstadt, Germany, won top honors by designing, building, and operating the most attractive and efficient solar-powered home. The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign took second place followed by Team California in third place.

The active competition lasted for a week, with the prototype home designs open to the public through Sunday. Team Germany’s winning “Cube House” design produced a surplus of power even during three days of rain. This is the team’s second-straight Solar Decathlon victory, after winning the previous competition in 2007.

“This competition to build zero carbon homes has been a tremendous undertaking and we have seen terrific efforts by all the teams,” Deputy Secretary of Energy Daniel Poneman said. “The ingenuity that comes from individual effort is the promise of our future.”

Over the past two weeks, the 2009 Solar Decathlon challenged 20 university-led teams from the United States and as far away as Spain, Germany, and Canada to compete in 10 contests, ranging from subjective elements such as architecture, market viability, communications, lighting design, and engineering, to technical measurements of how well the homes provided energy for space heating and cooling, hot water, home entertainment, appliances, and net metering.

New to this year’s competition, the Net Metering Contest was worth 150 points towards the final results and was the most heavily weighted contest. It challenged teams to generate surplus energy, above and beyond the power needed to run a house, which they fed into a power grid.
Team Germany earned 908.29 points out of a possible 1,000 to win the competition, followed by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with 897.30 points, and Team California with 863.08 points.


Solar Decathlon Individual Contest Winners:
Appliances (Awarded Today) In the Appliances Contest, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign earned the most points based on keeping a refrigerators and freezer cold, washing and drying 10 loads of laundry during the contest week, and washing dishes in a dishwasher five times during the competition – all on electricity generated only from sunlight. The team scored 93.53 out of 100 possible points.
Architecture (Awarded Monday) Team California took first place in the Architecture contest and earned 98 points out of a possible 100. A jury of architects judged homes on the aesthetic and functional elements of the home’s design; ease of circulation among the public and private areas; integration of various spaces into a holistic design; generosity and sufficiency of space in the house; and the house’s design surprises meant to inspire visitors.
Comfort Zone (Awarded Today) Team Germany topped the contestants in the Comfort Zone contest, with 92 out of 100 points for maintaining indoor temperatures between 72 and 76 degrees Fahrenheit and relative humidity between 40 percent and 55 percent.
Communications (Awarded Tuesday)Team California’s communications efforts, including communications plans, student-led tours, and team Web site, were judged best by the jury of Web site and public relations experts with a score of 69.75 points out of a possible 75 points.
Engineering (Awarded Today) The University of Minnesota won the Engineering contest, which was evaluated by a group of prominent engineers, who determined which solar home best exemplified excellence in energy systems design, energy-efficiency savings, creative innovations in design, and reliability of energy systems. The University of Minnesota scored 96 out of a possible 100 points.
Home Entertainment (Awarded Today) The Home Entertainment contest required students to use electricity generated by their solar houses to run interior and exterior lights, a TV, a computer, and a kitchen appliance to boil water. Teams were also required to hold two dinner parties and a movie night for neighbors. The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign earned 92.62 out of a possible 100 points.
Hot Water (Awarded Today) The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign earned the maximum 100 points in the Hot Water contest’s “shower tests,” which aimed to deliver 15 gallons of hot water in ten minutes or less. Of course, the water was heated by the sun.
Lighting Design (Awarded Thursday) The University of Minnesota was named the winner of the Lighting contest where teams earned points based on an evaluation by a jury of lighting design experts. Jurors toured each house to evaluate the aesthetics, innovations, energy efficiency, user-friendliness, flexibility, and performance of the teams’ lighting designs. The University of Minnesota earned 72 points out of a possible 75 points.
Market Viability (Awarded Monday) The University of Louisiana at Lafayette won the Market Viability contest, which evaluated whether the cost-effective construction and solar technology in a team’s design would create a viable product on the open market. Judges gauged market appeal based on three criteria: livability, feasibility of construction, and marketability. The University of Louisiana at Lafayette earned 97 points out of a possible 100 as judged by the professional jury.
Net Metering (Awarded Today) Team Germany took the top spot in the crucial, 150-point Net Metering contest. Teams were awarded 100 points if the energy supplied to their home’s two-way electrical meter registered zero or less after all of the energy demands of the contest week. Each house in the 2009 Solar Decathlon was connected to a power grid and equipped with a meter that measured both its consumption and production of energy. When a team’s meter showed a negative number, the home had generated surplus energy – worth up to 50 additional points. Team Germany scored a perfect 150 points in this contest.
The application process for the next Solar Decathlon, to be held in fall 2011, has already begun.

Solar News - Ormat Signs (NYSE: ORA) Joint Venture Agreement for Solar (PV) Power Systems

Solar News - Ormat Signs (NYSE: ORA) Joint Venture Agreement for Solar (PV) Power Systems

RENO, Nevada, Oct. 19 2009 -- Ormat Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: ORA), announced today that its Israeli subsidiary, Ormat Systems Ltd., has signed a Joint Venture Agreement ("JVA") with Sunday Energy Ltd. ("Sunday"), an Israeli private company to develop, construct and operate solar-photovoltaic ("PV") energy systems in Israel with a total capacity of 36 MW.

Under the JVA, Sunday will contribute the rights to all of its property and roofs required to develop solar energy systems above 1 MW to special purpose entities ("SPEs"). Ormat will own 70% of each SPE and will also have control of it. Under the terms of the agreement, Ormat and Sunday will act, jointly, as the EPC contractor and the operator of each project in accordance with each company share in the SPEs .

The estimated capital expenditure for 36 MW of solar power systems is approximately $195 million. The electricity generated from the projects will be sold to Israel Electric Corporation Ltd. under long-term power purchase agreements (20 years) and will generate approximately $30 million in annual revenues. The SPEs expect to finance their capital expenditure with 80% Non-Recourse project finance debt.

Ormat has more than four decades of experience in the development, construction, financing and operation of hundreds of megawatts of renewable energy projects world-wide, while Sunday is one of the leading developers in the Israeli solar PV market has the know-how in the design of solar systems using photovoltaic modules from various suppliers and the capabilities to obtain the necessary regulatory permits for construction and interconnection to the local grid.

Prior to entering into this JVA, Ormat has entered into an agreement with Sunday for the construction of a solar system for up to 1 MW on the roofs of its manufacturing facilities located in Israel. The first system with a capacity of 50 kW has been installed and connected to the grid since August 2009.


The joint venture represents Ormat's commercial entry into the solar energy market and its first major devotement in the solar photovoltaic market in Israel.
Lucien Y. Bronicki, Chairman of the Board and Chief Technology Officer of Ormat Technologies, said, "Ormat's commercial activity in the solar energy market is part of a strategic plan to be a leading player in renewable energy. We have a long, rich history in renewable energy that includes activity in solar energy that we believe we can leverage to bring unique benefits to this project. Our connection to solar energy goes back over 30 years to the solar pond project that we developed between 1977 and 1984. Our work on the solar pond created the technological foundation for our geothermal technology, which today positions Ormat as the industry leader. We are pleased to finally add an Israeli solar installation, to the current 1,200 MW of Geothermal and Recovered Energy power plants that Ormat has installed throughout the years. We are looking at this joint venture as an attractive business opportunity derived by the reduction in solar PV modules prices and the increase in their supply on one hand and the expected Israeli feed-in tariff for large solar PV systems on the other hand."

Solar Stocks News: Real Goods Solar (NASDAQ:RSOL) to Install $30 Million Solar Power Program for Fremont Union High School District

Solar Stocks News: Real Goods Solar (NASDAQ:RSOL) to Install $30 Million Solar Power Program for Fremont Union High School District


Largest Direct Purchase by a Secondary School System in North America

CAMPBELL, Calif.--June 5 --Real Goods Solar (NASDAQ:RSOL) announced today it has signed a contract to design and install solar electric systems totaling 3.65 megawatts for the Fremont Union High School District in Sunnyvale, Cupertino and west San Jose, California. The new solar systems will be constructed as carports at all five high schools in the District and are expected to save District taxpayers over $12 million in the total cost of electricity over the next 25 years. The five systems will contribute enough electricity to cover about 45% of the power usage of each school. This solar program, exceeding $30 million, is believed to be the largest direct purchase by a secondary school system in North America, financed by a portion of a $198M school bond approved by the District’s voters in June 2008.

The District researched many alternative energy options before choosing Real Goods Solar for these installations across school campuses. The system monitoring that Real Goods Solar provides will enable campuses to track their electricity offset in the years ahead.

Glenn Evans, COO/Associate Superintendent, stated, “Electricity is our single largest expense other than teachers and staff and we can only use school bond funds for facilities and equipment. By investing bond dollars in solar, we will save many tens of millions of dollars on electric utility bills over the coming decades and that savings will go directly into supporting educational programs and students. Real Goods Solar worked very closely with us to develop a solar power system customized to our energy needs. Solar electricity will be a huge win for everyone – for taxpayers, for students, for our community and for the environment.”

A Groundbreaking ceremony will take place at the Homestead High School site on June 9 at 12:45 p.m.

About the Fremont Union High School District:

Located in the heart of Silicon Valley and the San Francisco Bay Area in the State of California, the Fremont Union High School District currently serves over 10,000 students in a 42 square mile area covering all of the City of Cupertino, most of Sunnyvale and portions of San Jose, Los Altos, Saratoga, and Santa Clara in Santa Clara County. People move to the community because of the outstanding elementary and high school districts. The five high schools — Cupertino, Fremont, Homestead, Lynbrook, and Monta Vista — continue to hold top ranking throughout the region, state, and nation.

Evergreen Solar Announces Wafer Factory and Subcontractor Relationship in China Jiawei Solar to Provide Cell and Panel Manufacturing Services

Evergreen Solar Announces Wafer Factory and Subcontractor Relationship in China Jiawei Solar to Provide Cell and Panel Manufacturing Services

MARLBORO, Mass. and WUHAN, China--May 1 2009 --Evergreen Solar, Inc. (NasdaqGM: ESLR), a manufacturer of String Ribbon™ solar power products with its proprietary, low-cost silicon wafer technology, today announced it has entered into a frame agreement with Jiawei Solar (Wuhan) Co. and the Wuhan Donghu New Technology Development Zone Management Committee which calls for a significant expansion of String Ribbon wafer manufacturing in Wuhan, China. The parties expect to finalize the terms of the manufacturing relationship over the next 90 days, including obtaining project financing and other approvals and permits, and plan to begin production in the second quarter of 2010.

Under the agreement,

Evergreen Solar will manufacture String Ribbon wafers using its state of the art Quad furnaces at a leased facility being built in Wuhan, China on Jiawei’s campus. Jiawei will process String Ribbon wafers into Evergreen Solar-branded panels on a subcontract basis. Evergreen Solar will reimburse Jiawei for its cell and panel conversion costs, plus subcontractor fee. The actual price paid to Jiawei will be negotiated annually. The Wuhan government will provide, or coordinate with other Chinese governmental agencies, various incentives, including guarantees necessary to obtain third-party bank or other financing. Initial capacity is expected to be approximately 100 MW and the parties intend to expand production capacity to approximately 500 MW by 2012, the timing and extent of which will be determined in 2010. The establishment of our wafer manufacturing facility and the subcontractor relationship with Jiawei remains subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including financing, various import/export and construction permits and the negotiation of definitive agreements between Evergreen Solar and Jiawei.

“We are thrilled about our new relationship with Jiawei and the support that we are receiving from the Wuhan Management Committee, said Richard M. Feldt, Chairman, CEO and President. The cost of our 100 MW wafer facility will be between $40 million and $50 million and we will seek financing for about two thirds of that amount, reducing our portion of initial capital required to approximately $15 million to $20 million.

“Combining our unique low-cost String Ribbon wafer manufacturing technology with Jiawei’s proven low cost manufacturing capabilities will result in a compelling value proposition for our customers and the solar industry. At full capacity of about 25 MW per quarter by the end of 2010, we expect that total manufacturing cost of String Ribbon panels produced in China, including Jiawei’s subcontractor fee, will be in the range of $1.40 per watt to $1.50 per watt. As the price of silicon returns to its historic level of about $50 per kilogram and as both companies work together to improve technologies and reduce manufacturing costs, we believe that total manufacturing cost could be reduced to approximately $1.00 per watt by the end of 2012,” Feldt concluded.

D & D Securities Company Provides Overview on “Disruptive” Thin Film Photovoltaic Technologies

D & D Securities Company Provides Overview on “Disruptive” Thin Film Photovoltaic Technologies

Concludes that best value for investors in the solar industry will be in peripheral devices that make solar PVsystems operate more efficiently and with lower input costs

Cites Sustainable Energy’s “parallel” operating system as most attractive and lowest cost operating system forthin film PV in rooftop and BIPV market segments

Calgary, Alberta – March 19, 2009 – On March 17, 2009, D & D Securities Company a Toronto based investmentdealer (www.dndsecurities.ca) published a report entitled “ Thin Film Photovoltaic – Through the Fog” providing anoverview of the rapidly changing industry dynamics.

The report concludes that thin film PV is a “disruptive” technology that will transform the PV solar market with afundamentally lower cost structure, enabling it to take significant market share from the incumbent PV modulemanufacturers.

The report also offered the following observations:• Lower panel prices are expected to spur demand by the second half of 2009 with the industry resuming annualgrowth of 30% and driving innovation to reduce cost improve system efficiencies and provide more systemdesign flexibility.• With over capacity and lower prices, choosing winners and losers among existing producers and newcomers onthe module side will be a challenge. The best value for investors may not be in the PV systems, but in theperipheral devices needed to make the system operate more efficiently with lower input costs.• Rooftop and building integrated PV systems will become an integral part of thin film growth strategy as indicatedby Ontario’s proposed $0.802 / kWh for roof top and the evidence is mounting that rooftops will adopt the moreflexible and suitable “parallel” architecture.• Sustainable Energy has the most attractive and lowest cost “parallel” operating system (patented) to make thinfilm more competitive in rooftop and building integrated market segments.The report can be viewed at the following link http://www.dndsecurities.ca/news/pdf/Thin_Film-Through_the_Fog.pdf. or by contacting Elizabeth Muchal Singh at 416.369.3302 or esingh@dominick.caAbout Sustainable EnergyBased in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Sustainable Energy Technologies Ltd (“Sustainable Energy” or the “Company”)(www.sustainableenergy.com) designs and manufactures advanced power inverters for the solar power industry.Advanced power inverters are a critical enabler of all modern solar PV power systems converting the direct current(“DC”) power output of the solar PV modules into the high quality alternating current (“AC”) power required by thepower grid. Advanced power inverters also optimize the performance of the solar PV modules and maintain theintegrity and safety of the interconnection with the power grid.
Sustainable Energy has developed and patented an inverter design which is a breakthrough in inverter technology.The Company’s products enable solar PV systems to be designed and installed using a “parallel” architecture so thateach PV panel operates at it optimum power point independently from the other panels in the string withoutcompromising electrical conversion efficiencies. The technologies also enables an inverter platform which theCompany believes will have one of the lowest costs/watt in the industry. Nine (9) patents are issued by the US andCanadian patent office with respect to the Company’s core concepts and software with other patents pending.

Q-Cells SE confirms figures for fiscal year 2008 andpublishes its Annual Report

Bitterfeld-Wolfen, 19 March 2009 – Today, Thursday, 19 March 2009, Q-Cells SE (QCE; ISINDE0005558662) presents its Annual Report for 2008 at the press conference in Frankfurt/Main.

Thecompany therewith confirms its preliminary figures of 24 February 2009.
With a production volume of 570.4 MWp in its core business, Q-Cells SE was again the world’s largestmanufacturer of solar cells last year. Sales rose by 46 % to € 1,251.3 million (previous year:€ 858.9 million). EBIT, which was depressed to a much greater degree in the previous fiscal year bythe start-up costs of new technologies and the new production facility in Malaysia, grew by 4 % to€ 205.1 million (2007: € 197.0 million). Net income for the year totalled € 190.6 million, which isan increase of 28 % on the figure for the previous year of € 148.3 million.

Excluding the contributionfrom the investment in Renewable Energy Corporation ASA (REC) net income for the year stood at€ 140.3 million (€ 127.2 million). Q-Cells has therefore successfully continued its expansionarycourse in the past year.

In addition to commissioning the final section of Line V in the first half of the year, the sixthproduction line was commissioned at the Bitterfeld-Wolfen site in the fourth quarter of 2008 allowingtotal cell capacity to be increased to 760 MWp. The new fab in Malaysia, on which constructionstarted in the second quarter of 2008, will launch the making of its first solar cells in Q2 this year. Inaddition to expansions in the core business, two of the thin-film subsidiaries or investments startedmass-production last year. Both Sontor GmbH and Solibro GmbH continued their ramp-up successfullyin the fourth quarter of 2008. Work also began on expanding capacity at Solibro to a total of 135 MWp(currently 30 MWp) in the fourth quarter. Across the Group, Q-Cells created a total of 861 new jobsthrough its expansion, which means that the company employed 2,568 individuals in total at the endof last year.

The Stock Market in General and Solar Stocks in Particular

As I have said many times over the years solar stocks have a bright future, a very bright future. But investors have to understand a number of things about the current stock market and solar stocks in particular in order to fully take advantage of this long-term trend.

Markets go up and markets go down and these moves usually occur when it is least expected. At the present time solar stocks, the energy industry and the market in general have been in a very serious decline. The Dow Jones is breaking records everyday and the press is full of bearish articles about the market and about the questionable future of the solar industry.

If we take the time, look a little deeper and put aside the general media. I think we will see a very different picture and one that would suggest the very BEGINNING of “light at the end of the tunnel” and of the potential for investor’s to be a little more optimist at this time.

The General Market

The Dow Jones Industrial Index recently recorded a twelve year low and the media was FULL of doom and gloom. This terrible news was all over the financial press, accompanied by scenarios of more of the same to come. In fact, the recent survey from the American Association of Individual Investors (AAII) had fallen to the most bearish level in history – 70% of those surveyed felt that the direction of the market would be DOWN over the next 6 months.

There are four interesting items below to take note of from an historical perspective. Remember the bottom of a market is ALWAYS, by definition, the period of greatest fear. I have been a student of the market since 1975 and I can assure you that there is plenty of FEAR out there now.

1. The last two times the stock market hit a 12 years low was in 1974 and 1932. BOTH of these times proved to be once in a life time buying opportunities.

2. The previous record of FEAR by the AAII survey (67% bearish) was October of 1990 the very beginning of the great bull market of the 1990’s.

3. Remember corporate earnings and unemployment ALWAYS lag behind the stock market. So well after the market has turned around we will continue to see poor earnings and higher unemployment.

4. The current market is EXTREMELY technically “oversold” (i.e. beneath its 200 day moving average). In fact, it is more technically oversold than any time since 1930, JUST BEFORE the market moved up 48% in the 1930 bear market rally

Nothing is 100% for sure, as we all know. But I think we are either at a significant bottom or very close to it. Everything is so “oversold” at this time, that I think the worst case is that we get a significant rally in what could still be a bear market.

Two other items I think are worthy of note. Last week there were a number of indications that two very significant negatives could be turned to the positive very shortly.

1. The mark to market accounting rule will be modified to reflect “reality”. This will positively impact balance sheets significantly and should positively impact financial institutions especially.

2. The up-tick rule will be re-instated. This will stop short sellers from pushing stocks lower and fanning the flames of panic and fear. Ever since the rule was withdrawn (October 2007) it is OBVIOUS the effect it has had on the market.


Keep in mind that ALL the bad news out there is in media now. We already know all the bad news. Remember that the stock market IS actually a discounting mechanism which looks out 6 to 9 months into the future. We do not need GOOD NEWS to turn the market around, only LESS bad news.

The Solar Stock Market Sector

Solar stocks have also been doing terribly since the second quarter of 2007. Just like the general market, we need to look a little deeper, past the media hype, and see what is actually happening with solar stocks in the market. One of the measures (tools) that I utilize when looking at individual stocks is their 50 day moving average and whether the current price is above (bullish) the 50 day average or below (bearish) the average. It is not the only way to look at stocks and may not be the “best”, but it always seems to give me an idea of which way a stock is heading in the short to medium term and when looking at a specific market sector, what sort of condition that sector is in.

At the current time, 3 of the 35 solar stocks I follow are ABOVE (Bullish) their 50 day moving average. On the other hand 92% of the stocks (32 of 35) are BELOW (Bearish) their 50 day moving average. This clearly tells me to exercise caution in the solar sector and that the sector still needs some time to sort out the recent general market decline and a number of industry specific problems.

To put it a different way, I do not think ALL the bad news regarding the solar sector is out yet and that there will be future negative surprises, such as earnings disappointments (ENER earlier this week for example), inventory write-offs, and possibly even bankruptcies. The solar sector will probably get carried UP when the general market rallies, but since they will have to work out some additional problems; I do not think their rally will be sustainable.

However, if the current project financing “roadblock” suddenly opens up a much more sustainable rally would be possible, especially in the wind sector (i.e. the ETF “FAN” may be a conservative way to play this potential), and the stronger stocks would take the lead.

Numerous opportunities will come, but investor patience will be required to wait out this tough period and for sector volatility to “settle” down. This is still an embryonic industry and it is going through a painful retracement and consolidation phase.



Wall Street Wisdom – A few general lessons I have learned over the years

Assuming the above analysis is reasonably correct, what wisdom and benefits can be gained from this current situation?

1. Markets and stocks ALWAYS get ahead of themselves (in the short term) and subsequently go to extremes in both the up and down directions. I think we are at an unsustainable extreme (down) at this time and that we will get at least a significant rally shortly.

2. When an investor is researching potential investments they must understand that a company needs to be looked at in two ways:

a. As a company with a business and;
b. As a stock, separate from the business of the company

What I mean is that you can have a good company and a bad stock and you cannot “fall in love” with the company, you have to look at both. A perfect example of this is one of the greatest and most respected companies in the world – General Electric. I think it is still a “great” company, but the stock has gone from $42.00 in early 2008 to a low of approximately $6.00 last week – certainly NOT a great stock.

Has General Electric become an unsuccessful company that is going out of business and has no future? I seriously doubt it, but it is an almost perfect example of a good company (with temporary problems) and a stock that is reflecting those problems.

3. The solar industry has a very bright future, for decades to come. However, you have to keep in mind that we are only at the VERY BEGINNING of the industry’s growth. As a result, in addition to enormous opportunities that lie ahead, we will also most likely see above average volatility and more technical failures than successes. This is the way ALL new industries start up, grow and finally emerge. Investors have to be aware of this level of risk (and opportunity) and act appropriately according to their own financial tolerance for risk.

4. Any correction in solar stocks or the market in general can also be turned around and provide an advantage for the patient investor. When a sector or market corrects it generally takes ALL stocks (good and bad) down with it. However, once the correction has run its course the stronger stocks (i.e. those stocks with the highest “relative strength” compared to the general market and to their peer group) will ALWAYS come back to life faster. This is an excellent way for an investor to pick out the stronger companies in the sector and get involved before they have fully recovered.

Rewards come to those investors who are patient and do not follow the crowd

Aspiring investors need to acquire and nurture patience. Historical data clearly shows that more money is made MISSING the downside than catching the upside. As I read my e-mails from readers, I get the feeling that people really want to buy solar stocks and ride them into a bright future. Many times I get the sense that they are afraid, that if they delay, they will miss the chance to profit from the solar industries bright future. This is NOT true. There will be plenty of time and many advances and declines in the future. Be patient, look for the strongest stocks and try not to get swept up in the crowd, because the crowd is always wrong.

Cogentrix Energy Completes Solar Acquisition Purchase of SEGS I and SEGS II Completed

Cogentrix Energy Completes Solar Acquisition Purchase of SEGS I and SEGS II Completed

CHARLOTTE, N.C-Cogentrix Energy, LLC (“Cogentrix”), through its wholly owned subsidiary Cogentrix Solar Services, has closed its acquisition of Sunray Energy, Inc., the owner and operator of facilities formerly known as Solar Energy Generation Systems I and II (“SEGS I” and “SEGS II”), completing a transaction that was entered into on September 30, 2008. SEGS I and II represent the first two utility-scale solar trough plants built in the world and deliver up to approximately 43 megawatts of electric capacity under contract to Southern California Edison (“SCE”). The plants were completed and placed in service in 1984 and 1985 and are located in San Bernardino County, California.

“This acquisition affirms our commitment to renewable energy. Cogentrix has an established track record of investing in, developing, constructing and operating power generation projects throughout the United States. We are now moving forward to deliver these core competencies to the renewable energy sector,” said Larry Kellerman, President of Cogentrix.
Cogentrix plans to make a significant investment in retrofitting and upgrading the delivery capability and reliability of SEGS I and II to enable the plants to continue to supply power into the California renewable market. In solar trough plants, energy from the sun is collected on specially designed mirrors and directed onto glass enclosed collectors where the heat generated is captured and used to produce steam for powering turbine-generators in the production of electricity.

Details of the SEGS I & II acquisition were not disclosed.
“This acquisition positions Cogentrix firmly in the solar business and we are excited about the future,” said Bill Felts, Senior Vice President at Cogentrix. “Renewable energy is a major component of our nation’s energy strategy to help ensure greater energy independence. It is our goal to help ensure that electricity can be provided from renewable sources in an economic and reliable fashion.” With over 25 years of experience in the electric power generation industry, Mr. Felts leads the overall development effort at Cogentrix.

Cogentrix continues to expand its development capabilities. Recent additions to the Cogentrix development staff are Mr. Edouard (Ed) MacGuffie as Vice President of Solar Development; Charles (Chuck) Muoio, Vice President of Development; William (Bill) Heck, Vice President of Southwest Development; Gary Palo, Vice President of California Development; and Eduardo Hernandez-Carstens, Vice President of Wind and DSM Development.

Prior to joining Cogentrix, Ed MacGuffie was Executive Director, Solar for FPL Energy. Mr. MacGuffie’s experience in the solar market includes managing the acquisition of the Kramer SEGS III-VII plants in California; initiating a $100 million solar field recapitalization effort at both Kramer SEGS III-VII and Harper SEGS VIII-IX solar generating facilities; and identifying and negotiating a joint-venture for solar development in Spain.

Chuck Muoio joins Cogentrix from Goldman Sachs where he served as Vice President, Alternative Energy Group. Mr. Muoio has over 30 years of experience in the energy business including responsibility for development, construction and asset management for energy projects. Mr. Muoio was previously with FPL Energy as Vice President of Development with responsibility for mergers and acquisitions, wind quality improvement programs and solar thermal assets.

Gary Palo comes to Cogentrix from FPL Energy where he was Director of Development, managing the development of the Beacon Solar Energy Project, a 250 MW concentrating solar power facility proposed in the western Mojave Desert region of California. Mr. Palo also has extensive experience in the development of natural gas fired electric power projects, including associated interconnecting transmission lines in California. He has been active in the independent power industry for the past 24 years.

Bill Heck joins Cogentrix from Nevada Power Company and its sister company Sierra Pacific Power Company where he served as Development Director-Renewables. Mr. Heck was instrumental in the development of both the 12MW Nellis Solar Star photovoltaic generating facility and the 64MW Nevada Solar One concentrating solar thermal generating facility. He was also responsible for compliance with both the Nevada and California renewable portfolio standards and the procurement of approximately 400MW of geothermal generation.
Eduardo Hernandez-Carstens has over 25 years experience with Petroleos de Venezuela (“PDVSA”), a large integrated energy company where he participated in acquisitions of international downstream assets. Mr. Hernandez-Carstens was responsible for the introduction and negotiation of long term supply contracts of a patented boiler fuel to North American utilities, and structured complex multi-party capital investments in the power industry, marketing projects in Europe, Latin America, Canada and the United States.


Founded in 1983 and headquartered in Charlotte, N.C., Cogentrix is a recognized leader in the independent power industry for its proven capabilities in meeting regulatory and commercial commitments. The Company has offices in Virginia, California, Florida and Nevada in addition to the corporate offices in Charlotte, North Carolina. Cogentrix is a subsidiary of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.

Solar Company Spire Initiates “Come to America” Program

Spire Initiates “Come to America” Program
Spire Introduces Mark Case, Vice President of Photovoltaic Factory Management, to Lead this Initiative.

BEDFORD, Mass.---Spire Corporation (Nasdaq: SPIR), a global solar company providing turnkey solar factories to manufacture photovoltaic (PV) modules worldwide, today announced that it has initiated its “Come to America” program to assist foreign manufacturers of PV modules to establish manufacturing operations in the United States (U.S.). The U.S. is projected to be the most rapid growing PV market in the world, doubling each year over the next few years with projections of over five gigawatts (GW) through 2011 (Barclays Capital Solar Energy February 2009). To take full advantage of the newly signed economic stimulus bill, foreign manufacturers would need to produce their modules in the U.S.

Spire has been a major supplier of turnkey factories worldwide and has participated in all aspects of the U.S. market, including establishment of manufacturing lines, producing systems, and has conducted U.S. Department of Energy funded research and development programs and has advised the U.S. Congress on solar policy directions for more than 30 years. This experience coupled with ongoing involvement in all sectors of PV in the U.S. makes Spire ideally suited for “bringing companies to America”.

Assembling modules from solar cells in distributed module assembly lines is a cost effective approach to market entry. Shipping costs are reduced and solar cells usually represent the intellectual property part of the module. Manufacturing modules near the market also stimulates local market growth, results in local tax incentives and incentives for job creation. Spire offers turnkey lines for both module and cell production. Spire also provides factory siting, factory management, module certification, cell and other material supply and guidance through the General Services Administration and other U.S. requirements.

Leading this initiative is Mark R. Case who has recently been added to Spire’s senior staff as Vice President of Photovoltaic Factory Management. Mr. Case joined Spire from Flextronics where he was Vice President of the Energy Division within Flextronics’ FLEXIndustrial business segment. His work concentrated on the PV industries.

Mr. Case’s responsibilities at Spire will focus on the “Come to America” program for international suppliers. He will provide factory management services and coordinate after factory support including cell and wafer supply, equipment service and equipment upgrades. Additional responsibilities include deal structures and management contracts.

Roger Little, CEO and Chairman of Spire Corporation, said, “We have waited a long time for the U.S. PV market to develop. Now that it’s ready to take off we’re excited about where we are today and what we can offer new entrants. It has taken us 30 years to have put ourselves in the position of being able to provide the breadth of support that we now have from plant siting to plant management to module manufacturing and qualification to navigation through U.S. laws and requirements.”

Company News:
NEW YORK, NY Feb 2, 2009 -- Yoo Inc. (OTC BB:YOOO.OB ) , the parent company of IX Energy, Inc., announced today that it has changed its name to IX Energy Holdings, Inc. ("IX Energy") and that the Company's common stock is trading on the over-the-counter bulletin board under the new ticker symbol (OTC BB:IXEH)

IX Energy Holdings, Inc. is a renewable energy solutions company engaged in the design, marketing and development of solar power and other renewable energy solutions targeting federal and civilian agencies. The Company's emphasis in the federal sector helps government agencies comply with mandates for implementation of technologies that support renewable energy.

In 2007, total electricity consumption from government agencies was 193.8 trillion BTU, or 56.79 million MWh.

"The federal government's mandate for renewable energy is enormous, and we think we have established key strategic relationships that will enable us to successfully service this market, which will call for distributed generation systems such as solar electric, solar lighting, geothermal, and other generation systems including fuel cell, cogeneration and highly efficient alternatives," commented Steve Hoffman, CEO of IX Energy.

Through the nine months ended September 30, 2008, IX Energy recorded revenue of approximately $6.5 million. The majority of revenue for 2008 was derived from the federal agency sector.

Hoffman added that, "We work closely with our customers to ensure that they use less energy, pay less for energy, and secure reliable, high-quality power for their critical operations. Federal agencies are seeking ways to save energy and use renewable resources and we are committed to providing solar, and a platform of related renewable energy solutions to enable them to meet these goals. We will continue to be opportunistic in other key markets as well including commercial and select utility scale projects."

Recent Operational Highlights



-- Executed 5-year agreement to manufacture solar modules marketed to
U.S. government customers. The first 24MW fabrication facility came online
January this year and is expected to commence production in February. IX
Energy will begin selling its initial line of completed products from the
