Point Roberts WA-, January 04, 2011 (Investorideas.com renewable energy/green newswire) Investorideas.com, a leader in renewable energy stock research for independent investors, releases a trading alert for solar stocks on the move in Wednesday’s trading session.
Several solar stocks are realizing significant gains in today’s trading, two of them boosted by increased equity investments. Does this mean the beat up solar stocks are about to shine again in 2012?
Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. (NasdaqGM: ASTI ) is trading at $0.5512, up 0.1312 (31.24%) on over 800,000 shares. The Company reported today that TFG Radiant Investment Group, Ltd. (TFG Radiant), is poised to increase its ownership interest in the Thornton, Colo., based solar panel manufacturer. TFG Radiant acquired approximately 20 percent of the outstanding shares of Ascent in August 2011. The increase will put TFG Radiant’s ownership at approximately 41 percent.
DayStar Technologies, Inc.(NasdaqCM: DSTI ) is trading up at $0.2, up 0.06 (27.23%) on over 198,000 shares. DayStar Technologies, Inc. is engaged in the development of solar photovoltaic products based upon CIGS thin film deposition technology.

The Company announced today that it has received an equity investment from CBD Energy Limited "CBD Energy" (ASX:CBD.AX), a diversified renewable energy company based in Sydney, Australia. In addition to the investment, the companies have agreed to explore a broader strategic relationship.
"CBD Energy, primarily through their operating solar subsidiary eco-Kinetics, is growing rapidly in Australia -- a market that is developing very much the same way as the U.S.," said Barry Cinnamon, CEO of Westinghouse Solar. "These cooperative efforts will help us extend our technology and distribution partnerships on a larger international scale. In particular, this partnership will allow us to extend our Westinghouse Solar brand to Australia."

Solar Stocks Interview with J Peter Lynch Discussing Portfolio Performance and Key Trends
Solar Stocks Interview with J Peter Lynch Discussing Portfolio Performance and Key Trends
Point Roberts, South Salem, New York –August 25, 2011 www.Investorideas.com, a leader in cleantech stock research, releases a recent Q&A interview with regular solar stocks columnist, J Peter Lynch.
Mr. Lynch discusses his performance in his solar portfolio and trends in the sector moving forward.
Q: Investorideas.com
Peter, in the volatile market we have all gone through recently, your solar stocks portfolio realized some significant gains . Can you give investors some hi- lights of the overall performance and where it stands now ?
A: J Peter Lynch
Our solar portfolio significantly outperformed the major indexes in both 2010 and YTD in 2011:
In 2010 we outperformed by 310% with a gain of 42.94% vs the markets average gain of 13.87%.
In 2011 we sold the last of our positions at the beginning of August and closed up 16.52% YTD vs the markets being down an average of approximately 6%.
Currently we are on the sidelines and feel that the current market may well be a correction at the beginning of a bear market. We will keep you informed but with this current market and its volatility this no time to be fooling around with stocks that are ALL in serious downtrends.
Q: Investorideas.com
I have read that Italy is poised to move ahead of Germany in the PV market – can you give us your insight as to what you see developing ?
A: J Peter Lynch
I have heard that too. But Germany is the strongest country in Europe by far and their Feed in Tariff program (FIT) has proven itself over the past 5 years. Germany will stay the leader for the foreseeable future. The only mystery to me is why the USA does not follow the proven German approach – the FIT – that has already been copied in one form or another by 40 additional nations.
Q: Investorideas.com
What do you see moving forward for the industry in terms of growth of installations and costs coming down?
A: J Peter Lynch
Industry margins are under pressure, as I predicted in mid-2010. I am hearing quotes from some Chinese solar companies that make me wonder if they are selling at a loss. We need the federal grant program to be extended at the end of this year, although I am hearing that it is not going to happen. What we really need is a nationwide FIT program if we really want to say we are serious about renewables. We will also need more flexible and available financing programs to enable companies to accelerate projects.
Q: Investorideas.com
There have been some recent upgrades in the sector recently including First Solar, what are your thoughts?
A: J Peter Lynch
My thoughts are to wonder what they are looking at – to put it very simply – FSLR is NOT a buy here unless your hobby is catching falling knives. The stock is in a strong downtrend and until it shows some positive signs of life it is not a buy for anyone except a serious focused trader.
Take a look at the graph below – does this look like a stock YOU would want in your portfolio? Also today was a strong day on the market and the stock traded down a sign the trend has not reversed.
Q: Investorideas.com
For investors that are still long solar stocks or for new investors looking for an entry point what are your thoughts?
A: J Peter Lynch
If you are holding stocks they are more than likely very oversold and at least due for a bounce, which you could use to exit. If you are looking to initiate new positions you will have to be patient and wait for the current volatility to calm down and solar stocks to start to show signs of life. Remember, no investor, will consistently buy a stock at the absolute bottom or sell a stock at the absolute top. What the savvy investor wants to do is to maximize his or her return while at the same time minimizing their risk.
This is exactly what we did in 2010 and 2011. In 2010 we achieved our superior returns with ZERO trades that year. In 2011 we started out well, but we sold out of our positions whenever they violated our criteria thereby letting our profits run as long as we could and then minimizing our downside losses by selling positions as they violated the rules we had set. This strategy once again allowed us to significantly outperform the market YTD in 2011.

Clean Energy Sector Gets a Boost as Concerns on Nuclear Power Mount
Point Roberts, WA –March 16, 2011 - Investorideas.com, a leader in cleantech stock research, reports on news and trading for solar and wind stocks as investors turn to clean energy in the midst of a potential nuclear crisis in Japan. The sector began a bullish run in yesterdays trading. In a massive downtrend in today’s trading, the renewable energy sector is in the green.
From the BP oil spill, to Middle East turmoil spiking oil prices, to the pending nuclear meltdown in Japan; investors have to ask was cheap energy every really cheap? Clean energy may be the best bet for the long run- and the short term spike may just be the beginning of a bull run for green investors.

Investors including Warren Buffet and T. Boone Pickens have bet big on wind energy. With one environmental disaster after another, the push for clean energy is global.
The European Wind Energy Association (EWEA) reports wind energy alone could meet 28.5% of Europe´s electricity demand by 2030. Already the Member States´ National Renewable Energy Action Plans show wind energy providing over 14% of the EU´s electricity by 2020. Full News:

In a recent article from the Earth Institute entitled “Wind: The Center of the Plan B Energy Economy”
Earth Policy Institute's Plan B to save civilization has four components: stabilizing climate, restoring earth's natural support systems, stabilizing population, and eradicating poverty. At the heart of the plan is a crash program to develop 4,000 gigawatts (4 million megawatts) of wind generating capacity by 2020, enough to cover over half of world electricity consumption in the Plan B economy. This will require a near doubling of capacity every two years, up from a doubling every three years over the last decade.
This climate-stabilizing initiative would mean the installation of 2 million wind turbines of 2 megawatts each. Manufacturing 2 million wind turbines over the next 10 years sounds intimidating—until it is compared with the 70 million automobiles the world produces each year.

Solar Stocks Review - Monday 2-21-2011
J Peter Lynch
An overall summary and table are below which gives a current snap shot of the "technical picture" of each of our solar stocks. This is updated weekly and also whenever there are any significant changes.
Summary
Note: At this time there is a general market comment - advising caution at this time.
The majority of our stocks (14 of 22) have seen their monthly momentum turn positive in the last week or two and 17 of 22 are showing positive weekly momentum – all short term signs that the solar sector seems to be getting stronger. At this time the strongest stocks are: JKS, LDK, SOL, SOLR, TSL and First Solar (FSLR). Two of our "solar seven" (JASO and SOLF) have had their rating reduced from Strong "S" to Neutral "N" last week.
Critical levels for the weakest of our "solar seven"
JASO - starting to show some strength. The stock closed above $8.25 showing that it has regained its upside strength. Another week or so of this kind of positive action will move the stock back to an S rating.
SOLF – New symbol – HSOL is at a critical long term support level. A close below $8.00 it would trigger a sell signal.
Other Stock Comments
EMKR – has been showing recent strength, but is very overbought at this time and I think we will see the stock correct back to a more reasonable level.
SPWRA – starting to show some real strength for the first time in quite a while and has moved up to a "S" strong rating from N.
YGE – has been showing strength and has moved to an N rating up from W.
Market Comment - Caution Advised
Currently the market has two potentially serious "red flags" warning investors to be cautious:
Investor Sentiment
Investor sentiment is considered to be a contrary indicator and when too many investors or investment newsletters are Bullish – it is a time to be cautious.
At the current time BOTH the American Association of Individual Investors (AAII) poll of its members and the Investors Intelligence poll of investment newsletters are above their danger zones of 50%.
There is no guarantee of anything in the stock market, as we all know. But levels of sentiment so extremely bullish would historically indicate at least the potential for a market correction of 10% to 15%.
Stocks are very overextended
On the technical side the market is very overbought above its 200 day moving average. In fact, the current overbought condition is more extreme than any important market top in the last 10 years – certainly another significant reason to be very cautious at this juncture in the market.
Keep in mind that stocks can stay overextended for long periods of time. As a result I am advising caution at this time – since the number one rule of investing is: Not to lose money and this is not the time to initiate positions unless you are a shorter term trader and watch the market very closely.

2010 was certainly a year to remember. It had its ups and it had it downs, but in the end it was up an average of 13.87% (averaging the three major indexes – see table below) that is a far better than the average year and despite a constant barrage of terrible news the market continued to climb its “wall of worry”.
With everyone worrying about jobs and the economy the year seemed to be a never ending sequence of one bad set of news after the other. But if there is one think I have learned over the years is NEVER to listen to the talking heads on TV or to the hundreds of “experts” all over the internet who tell you what is going to happen tomorrow based upon what has happened today. That is silly and also, more importantly, impossible. No one can know what is going to happen or why it is going to happen, if you pay close attention you will eventually see that everyone is clearly guessing and guessing is NOT one of the tools that a successful investor employs.
The Importance of seeing “What is” verses what we think “should” be
Let me give you a totally NON logical example that will make it clear that guessing and perhaps "logical" are not really good tools for an investor. I think I can safely say that the top topics for 2010 and the ones that are on everyone's mind are: jobs, the economy, the housing crisis and the persistent recession as it drags on. So, given that background, what do you think were the top 3 market sectors in 2010 in terms of returns for investors?
Give up? Can't even guess?
Well they were:
Autos
Restaurants
Leisure
All of them are consumer related and we all KNOW (for sure?) that this is a terrible recession and that the economy is in bad shape and that it would be impossible for consumer related areas to do well, right?
Wrong! They not only did well they were the best 3 areas.
So what can we learn from this?
What we can learn is that an investor has to STOP thinking they KNOW what "should be" given the circumstances as the investor sees them and realize that the most important thing is NOT what you think should be but "WHAT IS". If umbrella sales are going thru the roof during a massive drought - forget about what you "know" - BUY umbrella stocks!
The Best and the Worst of 2010
Now that you know the three best areas for investors in 2010, what was the worst area for investors in 2011?
The worst area for investors in 2011 was the solar sector, specifically the PV sector that we follow closely it was down and average of 14.6% in a very good year (up 13.87% on average) for the market.
Based upon this fact, it would be terrible to invest in this area for any sane investor? Correct?
Well in general, yes. If you bought each of our solar stocks you would have been down approximately 14.6% for the year. However, if you bought the "best" of the solar stocks - our solar seven, you would have been up an average of 42.94% more than 300% better than the general market averages.

Dow Jones 11585.38 11.1
NASDAQ 2666.93 17.53
Major Indexes Average +13.87%
Solar Seven Selection Criteria
Back in the beginning of 2010 I explained that we were rating all of our solar stocks and that the seven strongest stocks – later named – “The Solar Seven” were the strongest stocks among the industry. My rating system is a proprietary combination of various relative strength measures, technical measures and some fundamental components.
What can we learn from this amazing performance in a terrible solar market?
What we can learn is that there are always stocks going up somewhere, even in a terrible market and if you select the “strongest” stocks in a given market segment you will, on average, do quite well. Even if, they are umbrella’s in a drought – regardless of what you “think” you know, always remember that “what is, is” and always buy the strongest stocks in a sector or market. You may not always know “why” something happens, but you will, on average, do much better than most investors and most likely better than the market.

Solar Stocks Continue to Follow thru on recent Rally
Solar Stocks Continue to Follow thru on recent Rally
Point Roberts, South Salem, New York- September 17 , 2010 - Investorideas.com, a leader in cleantech stock research tools issues new solar stocks commentary from solar contributor, J. Peter Lynch .
Solar Stocks Commentary with J Peter Lynch –
At InvestorIdeas.com and Renewableenergystocks.com
http://www.renewableenergystocks.com/PL/
As I said in my last article over the past few months the market has been one of those “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 continued to come alive and more and more of the solar stocks have been showing strength with 21 of our 22 stocks now 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.
The recent action, shown below, clearly shows that the solar sector after dramatically underperforming the major indexes on a year to date basis has dramatically outperformed the major indexes (gained significant relative strength compared to the market) since June 1 2010 by roughly a factor of 5 to 1.

Who really knows the reason why this is happening? Actually it does not matter, all that matters is that it very apparent that the sun is currently shining on the solar segment of the market at this time and that this segment is clearly gaining strength relative to the general market.

Point Roberts, South Salem, New York- September 17 , 2010 - Investorideas.com, a leader in cleantech stock research tools issues new solar stocks commentary from solar contributor, J. Peter Lynch .
Solar Stocks Commentary with J Peter Lynch –
At InvestorIdeas.com and Renewableenergystocks.com
http://www.renewableenergystocks.com/PL/
As I said in my last article over the past few months the market has been one of those “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 continued to come alive and more and more of the solar stocks have been showing strength with 21 of our 22 stocks now 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.
The recent action, shown below, clearly shows that the solar sector after dramatically underperforming the major indexes on a year to date basis has dramatically outperformed the major indexes (gained significant relative strength compared to the market) since June 1 2010 by roughly a factor of 5 to 1.

Who really knows the reason why this is happening? Actually it does not matter, all that matters is that it very apparent that the sun is currently shining on the solar segment of the market at this time and that this segment is clearly gaining strength relative to the general market.

Research and Markets: China PV Market Development
Research and Markets: China PV Market Development - Includes Profiles of Major Players, Their Strategies, Evaluating Opportunities and Much More...
DUBLIN---Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/85a37e/china_pv_market_de) has announced the addition of the "China PV Market Development" report to their offering.
One constant in what many have called the miracle of China's enormous economic growth over the past 30 years has been a reliance on export economies. The development of the PV industry has been no exception. Since the industry's modest beginnings in 2002, domestic cell and module manufacturers have exported more than 95 percent of their products to overseas markets relying on the favorable energy policies of European governments to drive demand for Chinese production. As China has rapidly vaulted to the top of global solar cell manufacturing capacity, it has done so largely due to unprecedented demand from countries like Germany, Spain, Italy, and the United States, among others. As 2008 drew to a close and the realities of one of worst global economic crises since the Great Depression began to crystallize, domestic Chinese manufacturers in many industries scaled back production, laid off workers, and some even stopped operations completely. It was in this context that the Chinese government, recognizing the need to support this critical growth industry with domestic demand, began to seriously consider national solar incentives. With many other markets stalling due to a lack of financing and uncertain policy regimes, China will likely be one of the key growth markets for the solar sector in both the near- and long-term. Understanding the structure of the solar market in China and how it will grow will be key to understanding global demand trends as well as opportunities for investment and partnerships in this emerging market.
This report analyzes how the Chinese domestic PV market will develop, profiles major players and their strategies, and evaluates opportunities throughout the value chain that market development presents. The findings are based on more than 20 interviews and site visits around China with major solar manufacturers and installation companies, relevant government regulatory bodies, as well as wind industry representatives and local utility analysts.
In 2007 China announced goals to install 300 MW of PV by 2012 and 1.8 GW by 2020. Given recent policy developments and project announcements, China will be well on its way to exploding past those goals and in fact is expected to announce new targets later this year. Depending on the timing of these announcements and the success of several pilot projects, the Chinese market has very real potential to ramp well beyond 1 GW in 2011.
Beyond presenting a critical analysis of current Chinese solar policy and market development, the goal of this report is to provide a basic understanding of both Chinese power sector dynamics and the historical development of the domestic wind industry. In turn, an appreciation of these dynamics is intended to provide critical context to the detailed analysis of the solar sector and its potential going forward.
In this report:
•Annual installed capacity projections for 2009 2012 based upon detailed project tracking and interviews with domestic project developers. Multiple market demand scenarios are presented.
•Profiles of 18 different solar companies, electricity generation companies, and renewable energy-related government agencies.
•Extensive project return analysis for different locations under various incentive schemes (both approved and proposed programs), sensitized for factors such as interest rates, feed-in tariff rates, system price, and project leverage ratio.
•Detailed cost breakdown projections for domestic projects (rooftop and ground mount).
•Analysis of business opportunities along the value chain for both Chinese and foreign companies to take advantage of current and proposed subsidy programs.
•In-depth guide to China's overarching renewable energy policy and to each of the announced solar subsidy programs, including detailed descriptions of relevant government program administrators, as well as project applications, requirements, and deadlines.
•Comprehensive overview of China's electricity sector; both the major players and their plans for building out solar capacity as well as the legislative and economic drivers for the expansion of solar power in China.
•A detailed guide to the development of the wind industry in China, which over the past six years has grown to become the fourth largest end-market for wind capacity, and will likely become the number two global market in 2010. The development process for the Chinese solar industry will likely be very similar to the development of the domestic wind market, and so an understanding of the domestic wind sector is crucial to understanding when and how the solar market will grow.

Solar Stock news -Leading Solar Cell Manufacturer Expands Production with SOLARIS SOLARIS – Large Order for Oerlikon Systems
Solar Stock news -Leading Solar Cell Manufacturer Expands Production with SOLARIS SOLARIS – Large Order for Oerlikon Systems
BALZERS, Liechtenstein---A leading European crystalline solar cell manufacturer places for the first time a large order for multiple SOLARIS systems. The SOLARIS, which offers various advantages with its revolutionary coating technology was introduced to the market just a few weeks ago. The customer will use the SOLARIS from Oerlikon Systems to significantly increase their production capacity in North America. The system is set for delivery during the coming year. “Our original strategy of offering a compact, cost-effective platform with single wafer handling is proving to be a very popular solution with Photovoltaic (PV) manufacturer,” says Andreas Dill, Head of Oerlikon Systems.
So far the core competence of Oerlikon Systems was mainly on Semiconductor and Coating Technologies. After the realignment, the focus is now diversifying into the promising nanotechnology applications. With this significant order for SOLARIS the Business Unit has made an important inroad into the PV crystalline cell manufacturing industry. Oerlikon has with this success established itself as pivotal in the PV industry as a technology and equipment manufacturer: with Oerlikon Solar for the Thin-Film technology and with Oerlikon Systems for the crystalline technology. “Both processes complement one another with their respective fields of application. For the Oerlikon Group the advantage and benefit is to be represented in both growth markets with its leading technology,” says Thomas Babacan, Chief Operating Officer at Oerlikon.
Low ‘cost of ownership’
SOLARIS was designed for front and backside coating of crystalline silicon solar cells using clean PVD sputtering technology. Its multi-layer capability allows passivation and SiN coating on the front side as well as coating of the backside with various materials. Its very small footprint (3.3 x 2.2 m) and easy integration into existing production lines give SOLARIS a remarkably low ‘cost of ownership’.
“For this client, the SOLARIS production solution provides a big step toward cost-effective production of solar cells. Ultimately, it will help PV technology – and the industry – achieve grid parity,” explains Andreas Dill, Head of Oerlikon Systems.
Counting on innovation
The SOLARIS order was preceded by thorough evaluation tests, where the system’s flexibility and reliably high output compared favorably with industry standard SiN coating solutions. “In going from concept to fully functional systems in only 24 months, our development and assembly teams drew from the innovative talent across the Oerlikon Group to get the new SOLARIS system to market quickly,” adds Oerlikon COO Thomas Babacan. The current success in the PV market is only the start for SOLARIS. In fact, the Oerlikon development teams are finalizing further mass-production solutions for touch screen panels, thermoelectric devices, and generators or thin film batteries (for the newest energy storage solutions).
Oerlikon – Enabling High Technology
Oerlikon (SIX:OERL) is one of the world’s leading international high-tech industrial groups specializing in machine and plant engineering. The company is a leader in the field of industrial solutions and innovative technologies for textile manufacture, thin-film solar and thin-film coating, drive, precision and vacuum systems. With roots in Switzerland and a long tradition stretching back 100 years, Oerlikon is a global player with a workforce of more than 16000 at 158 locations in 37 different countries. The company’s sales amounted to CHF 4.8 billion in 2008 and it ranks either first or second in the respective global market.

Scheduled for completion by year end, both will be ground-mounted systems using the patented SunPower® T20 Tracker technology, which follows the sun throughout the day and delivers up to 30 percent more energy than fixed-tilt ground systems.
"SunPower offers high performance solar technology and financing expertise that helps customers maximize savings on their electricity expenditures. Our relationship with Wells Fargo strengthens our project finance efforts, streamlining the implementation of clean, renewable solar power for SunPower's large commercial and public customers throughout the U.S.," said Mac Irvin, managing director of SunPower's structured finance group.
SunPower has more than 500 large public and commercial solar power systems installed or under contract, representing more than 400 megawatts. The company pioneered the use of solar power purchase agreements in 2000.
