Bullish Future for Solar says IEA; Solar Stocks to Watch: LDK, XSNX, TSL, YGE

New York, NY - July 15, 2013 (Investorideas.com renewable energy stocks newswire) Investorideas.com, a research portal specializing in investing ideas for independent investors, issues a trading alert for solar stocks following a bullish trading session for the sector and a recent report from the IEA that shows the rapid global advancement of renewable energy as a cost competitive choice.

In an overall strong day in the market, solar stocks closed up significantly in Monday’s trading session, some with double digit gains. Chinese solar stocks saw some of the biggest gains following headlines that China State Council said it has plans to build 35 GW of solar by 2015.
Factoring into investor sentiment, the International Energy Agency (IEA) reported in late June in its second annual Medium-Term Renewable Energy Market Report (MTRMR), that despite a difficult economic context, renewable power is expected to increase by 40% in the next five years. Renewables are now the fastest-growing power generation sector and will make up almost a quarter of the global power mix by 2018, up from an estimated 20% in 2011. The share of non-hydro sources such as wind, solar, bioenergy and geothermal in total power generation will double, reaching 8% by 2018, up from 4% in 2011 and just 2% in 2006.
According to the report," renewables are becoming cost-competitive in a wider set of circumstances. For example, wind competes well with new fossil-fuel power plants in several markets, including Brazil, Turkey and New Zealand. Solar is attractive in markets with high peak prices for electricity, for instance, those resulting from oil-fired generation. Decentralised solar photovoltaic generation costs can be lower than retail electricity prices in a number of countries."
The report also noted in relation to China solar stocks, "Led by China, non-OECD countries are expected to account for two-thirds of the global increase in renewable power generation between now and 2018. Such rapid deployment is expected to more than compensate for slower growth and smooth out volatility in other areas, notably Europe and the US.”
LDK Solar Co., Ltd. (NYSE LDK) closed at $1.75, up $ 0.31 or 21.53% on over 6 Million shares. The stock had a day high of $1.77.
Investorideas.com Newswire XSUNX Inc. (OTCBB: XSNX) closed at .011 on over 500,000 shares The CA based Company is a developer of CIGSolar®, a patent-pending technology for the mass production of CIGS solar cells that offers a capital-efficient, low-cost alternative to the use of silicon solar cells.
Investorideas.com Newswire Trina Solar Limited (NYSE: TSL) ended the day at $7.74, gaining 0.87 or 12.66%.
Investorideas.com Newswire Yingli Green Energy Holding Co. Ltd. (NYSE:YGE) closed at $4.16, spiking 0.42 or 11.23% and continued gains in after hours trading.
Investorideas.com Newswire Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: ASTI) had notable gains, closing at $1.12, up 0.09 or 8.74%
First Solar, Inc. (NasdaqGS: FSLR) closed at $50.27, moving up 2.62 a share or 5.50%, with a high of $51.

Hydrogen and Fuel Cells: "An Industry on the Move" in the Clean Energy Game

Investorideas.com Newswire - Hydrogen and Fuel Cells: "An Industry on the Move" in the Clean Energy Game

Snapshot of Hydrogenics (TSX: HYG), Ballard (NASDAQ:BLDP)

New York, NY , Point Roberts WA– Tuesday July 9th, 2013 – (www.investorideas.com newswire,) Taylor Van Zant of Investorideas.com., an investor research portal specializing in sector research for independent investors, reports on the Hydrogen and Fuel Cell market and the recent Hydrogen + Fuel Cell C Conference (HFC 2013 ) (http://www.hfc2013.com/), held in Vancouver June 16th – 19th, 2013.

Clean, renewable energy continues to be a growing industry as more and more countries across the globe are forced, or choose, to implement more environmentally conscious energy plans. In this renewable energy emergence market Hydrogen and Fuel cell technology is fast becoming a rising star.



This year, the sixth Hydrogen + Fuel Cell Conference took place at the Vancouver Convention Center, hosting some of the leading developers and innovation in the Hydrogen and Fuel cell industry as well as some high profile public companies showcasing their latest developments.



The British Columbia Ministry of Tourism, Trade and Investment is promoting, and with good reason, the Province to investors as the home to the world’s third-largest clean technology cluster. Dozens of fuel cell companies and research organizations are located in B.C such as the National Research Council Institute for Fuel Cell Innovation (NRC-IFCI); the Canadian Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association; the Automotive Fuel Cell Cooperation; UBC’s Clean Energy Research Centre; NuCellSys; Powertech Labs; and Westport Innovations.

With roughly 70 per cent of Canada’s fuel cell sector centered in or around Metro Vancouver, the city made a great stage for the HFC conference and researchers and industry leaders from around the world were happy to be a part of such a large scale promotion of this lesser known industry.

Fuel Cell technology implementation has faced the obstacles of the recession in the last few years and the obvious troubles related to cost efficiency, but the industry is now making a strong recovery and proving to be beneficial to other sectors of the green energy industry.
A little about Hydrogen and Fuel Cells:



There are a variety of benefits to using fuel cells, and especially Hydrogen based ones, as fuel cells have a higher efficiency than diesel or gas engines and most fuel cells operate silently, compared to internal combustion engines. This makes them ideal for use within buildings such as hospitals or on military compounds across the globe. Fuel cells can eliminate pollution caused by burning fossil fuels; for hydrogen fuelled fuel cells, the only by-product at point of use is water. If the hydrogen comes from the electrolysis of water driven by renewable energy, then using fuel cells eliminates greenhouse gases over the whole cycle. Fuel cells do not need conventional fuels such as oil or gas and can therefore reduce economic dependence on oil producing countries, creating greater energy security for the user nation. Since hydrogen can be produced anywhere where there is water and a source of power, generation of fuel can be distributed and does not have to be grid-dependent. The use of stationary fuel cells to generate power at the point of use allows for a decentralized power grid that is potentially more stable. Another military feature of some low temperature fuel cells (PEMFC, DMFC) is there low heat transmission which makes them ideal for covert military applications. Higher temperature fuel cells produce high-grade process heat along with electricity and are well suited to cogeneration applications (such as combined heat and power for residential use). Operating times are much longer than with batteries, since doubling the operating time needs only doubling the amount of fuel and not the doubling of the capacity of the unit itself. Unlike batteries, fuel cells have no "memory effect" when they are getting refueled. The maintenance of fuel cells is also much simpler than other engines or batteries since there are fewer moving parts in the system.



As this conference in Vancouver demonstrated through a variety of well informed panels with specialists and company heads, there are no shortage of benefits to using fuel cells as a source of clean renewable energy, but the true purpose of the conference was to showcase the momentum of the industry. This industry has recovered greatly from its fall of the past few years and is showing forward momentum with an almost limitless amount of possibilities.



Some of the industry leaders pushing this charge, as well as helping with sponsoring and supporting the HFC in Vancouver are below:





Hydrogenics (TSX: HYG) trading at $15.80 up $1.30 on a volume of 7,036 shares is one of the top companies to watch in this growing sector.

Hydrogenics Corporation is a leading developer and manufacturer of hydrogen generation and hydrogen-based power modules and received the "Innovator of the Year" award from the Canadian Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association ("CHFCA") at the HFC conference. This CHFCA accolade recognizes an organization that exemplifies a long-term commitment to advancing the status of hydrogen and fuel cells in Canada.

"The Hydrogenics team is extremely honored to be recognized by our industry peers in this manner," said Daryl Wilson, President & CEO of Hydrogenics. "Meeting together in Vancouver, we discussed the increasing interest in hydrogen as a solution for energy storage and power generation across the globe. Clearly there is momentum here that was not the case just a few years ago, and we are proud to be positioned as a leading player in the space. For Canada and the world, Hydrogenics is pleased to be advancing the case for using hydrogen as a clean, renewable solution for humanity's ever-expanding energy demand."

About Hydrogenics

Hydrogenics Corporation is a world leader in engineering and building the technologies required to enable the acceleration of a global power shift. Headquartered in Mississauga, Ontario, Hydrogenics provides hydrogen generation, energy storage and hydrogen power modules to its customers and partners around the world. Hydrogenics has manufacturing sites in Germany, Belgium and Canada and service centers in Russia, China, India, Europe, the US and Canada.







Ballard (NASDAQ:BLDP) trading at $1.86 rising $0.01 or 0.54% on a volume of 242,621 shares, was another main presenter and rising star of the conference with the release of their new ElectraGen-ME backup power system.





“This new product will strengthen the value proposition for customers, with a higher reliability, lower cost solution,” said Tony Cochrane, Ballard’s Director of Product Management for Telecom Backup Power, in a press release.



The ElectraGen platform, a small-scale PEM fuel cell with power output of either 2.5 or 5 kilowatts, appears to be a repackaged version of Idatech’s methanol-based PEM fuel cell product, which were also designed to provide backup power for telecom sites. Ballard acquired the Portland, OR-based Idatech last year.



Like Idatech, Ballard’s ElectraGen platform is designed to provide backup power for regular, even daily, power outages in markets with unreliable electricity grids and backup power for markets with grids vulnerable to extended power outages.



In particular, the ElectraGen system is better suited for “extended runtime” backup power needs as compared to batteries and diesel generators.









Ballard Power Systems good news kept coming as the company announced during the conference that, with a commitment of investment funding to support field trials, the South African Government has reinforced its support of growth in that country's fuel cell industry. Godfrey Oliphant, South Africa's Deputy Minister of Mineral Resources, made the announcement during his presentation to attendees of the "Hydrogen + Fuel Cells 2013 International Conference and Exhibition".



As part of its beneficiation strategy and the drive to improve on the uses of platinum, the South African Government, through its funding institutions, will partner with Ballard Power Systems and Anglo American Platinum with initial field trials of a new methanol-fuelled 'home generator' prototype product designed for use in off-grid residential applications. The product will encompass a complete fuel cell system, including fuel cell stack, methanol fuel processor and other components needed to meet the market requirements of rural electrification within a local mini-grid. The home generator product is going to be developed as a means of addressing the many African households in rural communities that are currently unable to economically access the grid as a result of distance or terrain.



Godfrey Oliphant, South Africa's Deputy Minister of Mineral Resources said, "We are very pleased to support the field trials of the home generator product being developed by Anglo American Platinum and Ballard Power Systems. Projects such as this are key in the development of new technologies which will stimulate the creation of jobs for the South African economy."

Platinum-based fuel cells provide a significant economic and environmental development opportunity for South Africa by facilitating the provision of clean, reliable and cost-effective power. South Africa holds 75% of the world's supply of platinum, a key component of Ballard's proton exchange membrane fuel cell products.

"Anglo's involvement in fuel cell market adoption extends beyond the implications for platinum utilization to the potential transformational impact fuel cells could have on the economy in South Africa ," said Andrew Hinkly, Anglo American Platinum's Executive Head of Marketing. "Fuel cell-based product deployments enable the platinum beneficiation strategy in Africa and create jobs in a key growth sector for the economy."

Karim Kassam, Vice President, Business & Corporate Development added, "We are excited by the progress under our joint development agreement with Anglo American Platinum. Work to date has included a market feasibility study, testing of a proof-of-concept system based on existing technology and initial work on a prototype system."

Systems deployed in initial field trials during 2014 will provide valuable data to support further development of the prototype systems. Upon successful completion of the product development phase, plans are to proceed to a pilot test of more than two hundred units in villages across rural South Africa in 2015.

Automotive Fuel Cell Cooperation, (“AFCC”) is a Burnaby, BC based joint venture of Daimler AG and Ford Motor Company developing fuel cell modules for automotive applications. This company featured many of their new fuel celled powered cars and transports at the conference, showing the reality aspect of this technology and how developed and fully functional said technology currently is.



The foundation of AFCC was preceded by the Fuel Cell Alliance which was formed in 1997 between Daimler, Ford and Ballard to jointly advance the commercialization of automotive fuel cell technology. Following a successful 10-year alliance, Ballard sold its automotive fuel cell assets to Daimler and Ford in 2008. These assets are now resident in AFCC.



Today, Daimler and Ford are the only two automotive companies jointly developing fuel cell technology thereby avoiding the duplication of R&D efforts. Together, they have more than 280 fuel cell vehicles on the road.



As the birthplace of the automotive fuel cell, British Columbia is the natural home for AFCC due to the large concentration of fuel cell experts in the area and the province’s commitment to fuel cell research and innovation.

On the public investor side of things Ford Motors Co., (NYSE:F) was trading at $16.81 rising $0.11 on a volume of 29,248,548 shares and Dailmer AG (OTC: DDAIF) traded up at $62.46 moving $0.80 on a volume of $23,611 shares.



It’s clear after attending this conference that this field of development and technology is fast becoming a star of the renewable energy world and those interested in any serious long term investment, both financially and environmentally, need to start taking a close watch on the industry….as well as possibly attend next years HFC conference in the beautiful city of Vancouver.

Obama's Climate Change Policy and the Global Race for Renewable Energy-What does it Mean for Solar Stocks? (XSNX), (SCTY)

Obama's Climate Change Policy and the Global Race for Renewable Energy-What does it Mean for Solar Stocks? (XSNX), (SCTY)


New York, NY, Point Roberts, WA - June 27, 2013 (Investorideas.com renewable energy newswire) Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in investing ideas in leading sectors including renewable energy stocks, reports on the recent Climate Change Plan released early this week and the impact it may have on the solar sector.


Solar stocks, including SolarCity Corporation ( NasdaqGM: SCTY) , had an initial bounce following the Presidential speech, but investors need to look globally to get the real picture for the opportunity for solar and other renewables.

While the US announces its ambitions , other countries are upping the game , with countries like Costa Rica currently at 90% renewable and the Philippines announcing a goal of 100 % renewable energy usage within a decade.



During the President's first term, the US more than doubled generation of electricity from wind, solar, and geothermal sources. President Obama has now set a goal to double renewable electricity generation once again by 2020. Initiatives include a goal of 20 percent of federal power from renewable sources by 2020 and installing 100 megawatts of renewable energy on federally subsidized homes.



In his speech Obama stated, 'The U.S. will work with trading partners to launch negotiations at the World Trade Organization towards global free trade in environmental goods, including clean energy technologies such as solar.'

Tom M. Djokovich, CEO of XsunX, Inc. ( OTCQB: XSNX) , a company working to commercialize a new manufacturing process to produce low cost, high efficiency thin-film Copper Indium Gallium (di) Selenide (CIGS) thin film solar cells said , " The Federal governments continued support for the reduction of greenhouse gases is good news at many levels of the energy industry. The driving force behind the American economy has been innovation and whether you are on the carbon or renewable side of the energy industry these types of mandates drive the entire energy industry to innovate. This is especially true for the renewable solar energy industry which is a hot bed of innovation with numerous small companies such as ours, XsunX Inc., working to deliver innovative new products and technologies. We view the governments mandating industry to adopt and invest in more efficient and cleaner ways to produce and deliver energy as investments in long term energy security and the stability of our energy dependent economy.

At XsunX we are seeing the blossoming of these types of mandates in other regions too. The Middle East, Africa, and Latin America are adopting diversified energy production mandates that are predicted to dive immense growth in the renewables sector over the next decade. We are excited to be part of this emerging next wave in global PV development and adoption.



On the global front, aggressive goals were released from the Philippines. The Worldwatch Institute's Climate and Energy Director, Alexander Ochs, met with the Climate Change Commission (CCC) and high-level representatives of the federal and provincial governments of the Philippines yesterday to lay groundwork for a Sustainable Energy Roadmap for the archipelago nation, which aims to shift its current electricity system to 100 percent renewable energy within a decade.

"This country has an enormous opportunity to demonstrate how smart and integrated energy planning can be done in the 21st century," said Ochs. "Any country in the world has great potential for at least one renewable resource, such as biomass, geothermal, hydro, ocean, solar or wind. The Philippines has them all, as well as the human resources, technological know-how, and political leadership necessary to make a low-emissions transition a reality within less than a generation."



Costa Rica 's government, currently at 90% renewable is committed to becoming carbon neutral by 2021.

As the race for renewables picks up speed, the global solar market is shifting dramatically. According to a report in May from IHS Inc, Japan's solar installations surged by a stunning 270 percent (in gigawatts (GW)) in the first quarter of 2013, positioning the country to surpass Germany to become the world's largest photovoltaics (PV) market in terms of revenue this year.

For investors following solar stocks the take -away is that the market is global and changing and not to react to just one piece of news, look at the bigger picture .

Solar Stock Alert: XsunX (OTCQB: XSNX) Reports CIGSolar® Producing Near Identical CIGS Films to 16.4% NREL Samples

June 24, 2013 (Investorideas.com renewable energy newswire) XsunX, Inc. (OTCQB: XSNX) issues the following update from Tom Djokovich, CEO: Lately our updates have centered on our developing business opportunities, key markets, and the stabilizing solar market. In the background, we have been working full time with the CIGSolar® evaporator and we are excited to let you know that we are seeing some outstanding results.

Since the completion of the CIGSolar® evaporator assembly, we have carried out literally hundreds of incremental steps aimed toward establishing benchmarks, calibrating performance, and identifying or implementing potential improvements across our entire suite of system capabilities from material transport to CIGS deposition.
Our objective was to get the tool assembled, working, and producing results on par with the results we achieved during the initial technology development phase. The good news is that the tedious process of what seemed like endless incremental and iterative steps is now producing those types of results. Our internal testing of films is showing near identical film composition results to those recorded in a sample we provided to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) during our development phase, which averaged 16.4% efficiency.
Not surprisingly, and we have mentioned this before a few times, our proprietary thermal co-evaporation heating, insulation, and nozzle technology have performed remarkably well and we are excited about our thin film processing results and commercial prospects of our multi-source design.
This progress also shows that we are on the right track and helps to strengthen our marketing capabilities as well as emphasizes our commitment to continued process and system improvements for the benefit our customers.
As always, we are working hard to capitalize the full potential of CIGSolar® for our shareholders and look forward to sharing more progress and news with you in the near future.
Tom Djokovich, CEO

Surging Demand for CIGS Solar in Japan: Global Trend to Follow?

Point Roberts, WA - June 10, 2013 (Investorideas.com newswire) Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in investing ideas in leading sectors including renewable energy stocks, reports on recent news and developments in the CIGS solar sector and related solar stocks XsunX (OTCQB: XSNX), Ascent Solar (NASDAQ:ASTI) and Solar Frontier subsidiary of Showa Shell Sekiyu K.K. (TYO: 5002).

According to recent data from the Japanese Photovoltaic Energy Association (JPEA), published in an article in Solarserver.com, "Japanese PV shipments increase 62% year-over-year as imports boom". The article went on to note, "Thin film shipments are also increasing rapidly over the year, jumping from 106 MW in the first quarter to 299 MW in the fourth quarter, which ended on March 31st.
JPEA does not disaggregate thin film imports versus domestic production; however copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS) thin-film maker Solar Frontier KK (Tokyo, Japan) has reported strong quarterly results and in March 2013 re-started its Miyazaki number 2 plant to increase capacity.” Solar Frontier is a 100% subsidiary of Showa Shell Sekiyu K.K. (TYO: 5002).
Rechargenews.com, in an article on Solar Frontier said, "The domestic demand for its thin-film modules is now so high that it is struggling to meet orders -- despite running its two-year-old 900MW factory at full throttle and even restarting production at an ageing, shuttered 60MW plant nearby, an almost unprecedented move in the PV industry.
And this huge demand comes despite the fact that its copper-indium-gallium-selenide (CIGS) thin-film modules, on paper at least, remain uncompetitive with crystalline-silicon (c-Si) technology.”
XsunX, Inc. (OTCQB: XSNX) is working to commercialize a new manufacturing process to produce low cost, high efficiency thin-film Copper Indium Gallium (di) Selenide (CIGS) thin film solar cells. The company recently announced that solar expert, Dr. John R. Tuttle had joined the Company's Advisory Board to help advance its CIGS technology.
"Our current requirement was to find someone with world-class CIGS experience and someone who could also 'think outside of the box' -- or in the CIGS business -- outside of the vacuum chamber to commercialize technology. Dr. Tuttle's years of noteworthy experience at NREL elevating the science and capabilities of CIGS, and his experience transitioning innovation into operational results provides XsunX with the hands-on capabilities that we were looking for," concluded Mr. Djokovich.
Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:ASTI), a manufacturer of consumer and off-grid products integrated with flexible thin-film photovoltaic modules (CIGS), recently announced the official entry of the EnerPlexTM brand into the Chinese consumer market through Ascent's strategic partner, Shenzhen Radiant Enterprise Co., Ltd (www.sradiant.com), which has signed a distribution agreement with D.Phone, one of China's largest retailers of mobile phones and accessories.
According to Globalsources.com, "solar cell companies in China are shifting their attention to thin-film kinds, which are not covered by the US, the EU and India anti-dumping duties. They are counting on the type's improving share, which is currently a minority to the 85 percent stake of crystalline silicon counterparts. The projected rise for the former is 30 percent by 2015, according to the Information Network.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, suppliers such as Hanergy Holding Group Ltd, Baoding Tianwei Baobian and ENN are investing in production capacity expansion.
ENN is allocating $2.2 billion for a future venture that will boost its turnout to 500MW. Its current maximum level is 70MW.
A local breakthrough in thin-film solar cells based on CIGS is expected to help accelerate the line's development. It was achieved by joint efforts of the PV research center of the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese University of Hong Kong. The product has 18.7 percent efficiency, which can be stretched to 19.08 percent. The latter rating is only slightly lower than the 20.3 percent world record made by Germany's ZSW Center for Solar and Hydrogen Energy Research.”
According to XsunX, Inc. (OTCQB: XSNX) CEO Tom Djokovich, this trend comes as no surprise; it's what his company has been betting on. He went on to say, "The competiveness of today's silicon industry is the product of about 40 years of iterative improvements to the manufacturing technology. CIGS is late to the game compared to silicon but is now benefiting from years of similar iterative improvements and with CIGS you have the potential to match or exceed the conversion efficiencies of silicon - at lower cost points, concluded Mr. Djokovich.

Houston Based Oilfield Services/ Frac Water Stock HII Technologies (OTCQB: HIIT) Beats Odds against Industry Leaders

Point Roberts, WA - June 7, 2013 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com staff: Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in investing ideas in leading sectors reports on oilfield services /frac water treatment stocks and how a small Houston company, HII Technologies, (OTCQB: HIIT) is beating the odds competing against the big players dominating the sector.

According to a recent research report from Jeffries, 'Oil Services & Equipment-Over-Hauling Frac Water; U.S. Oilfield Water Recycling Review”, bigger companies in the space have the edge.
"We believe water recycling in the oil patch should grow significantly in the U.S. over the next few years, perhaps with some regulatory push. Recycling lowers well-cost vis-à-vis fresh water and enables activity in drought-prone regions. That is a boon to all of OFS except water haulers, but we think the complexity of fracking with recycled water gives the edge in pumping services to (NYSE:HAL), (NYSE:BHI) and (NYSE:SLB) over smaller peers. "
The Houston Business Journal reported on Jeffries findings on May 23 rd, in an article entitled, ' Recycled frac water: Big oilfield service companies have the edge', just days after the small Houston-based company reported its earnings.
Clearly the market is large and there is room in the frac water treatment sector for the smaller companies to thrive as companies like Schlumberger Limited (NYSE: SLB) can't or chose not to do it all.
In mid-May 2013, HII Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: HIIT) reported financial results for the first quarter ending March 31. First quarter 2013 revenues were $2,609,773, which generated a gross profit margin of $532,292. These revenues consisted of AES Water Solutions as well as initial revenue contribution from South Texas Power and the AES Safety Services divisions, which were launched in late December 2012 and January 2013 respectively. AES Water Solutions generated revenues of $536,371 for the comparable period in 2012. Accordingly, on a pro forma basis, this represents revenue growth for AES of more than 380% for the first quarter of 2013.
Brent Mulliniks, President of AES Water Solutions stated, "We experienced good growth in the first quarter from both increased demand with existing customers and from expanded operations. AES incurred additional expenses as it established new areas of operations in the Permian Basin and the Cline Shale in West Texas as well as the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas." Mr. Mulliniks continued, "New revenues are now being generated as a result of these expenditures."
"All three divisions, Water, Power and Safety, exceeded their revenue targets for the first quarter 2013," said Matthew Flemming, CEO of HII Technologies.

In a recent interview with Investorideas.com, CEO Tom Djokovich also said, “In my opinion, Dr. Tuttle is an entrepreneur and cutting edge scientist wrapped into one and that’s not easy to find in the PV sector. He has over 30 years’ experience during which he was a Senior Scientist at NREL, where his research guided the fabrication of thin-film CIGS PV devices, elevating the science with multiple world-record efficiencies, and he has shown success as an entrepreneur building a PV tech business from the ground up. “
