Solar News: GM (NYSE:GM) China Headquarters Installs Sunlogics (18L1:GR) GreenZone® Solar Charging Station

Sunlogics PLC (18L1:GR) ,GM (NYSE:GM)
SHANGHAI, China – (Investorideas.com renewable energy newswire ) General Motors (NYSE:GM) China has completed the installation of the first Sunlogics (18L1:GR) GreenZone® Solar Charging Station at its Shanghai headquarters. Sunlogics, a GM Ventures equity partner, created the GreenZone to be installed at GM’s various facilities and dealerships around the world to support the introduction of the Chevrolet Volt extended-range electric vehicle and prepare for future EV vehicle programs. The GreenZone® provides a unique opportunity to charge electric vehicles using a pure renewable energy source, the sun.

“The installation of the GreenZone solar charging station at our GM China headquarters proves our commitment to help develop an electric vehicle charging infrastructure in the Chinese market,” said Ray Bierzynski, executive director of electrification strategy for GM China. “GM will continue to play a vital role working with major infrastructure suppliers and electrical utilities to provide convenient, reliable charging solutions for our EV owners now and well into the future.”



The GreenZone®Solar Charging Station installed at GM’s China headquarters has a rated power output of 10 kW, which is enough to fully recharge up to six Chevrolet Volts each day. The GreenZone installation was completed by China Triumph International Engineering Company, the Sunlogics’ Engineering, Procurement and Construction contractor for GM projects.



General Motors and Sunlogics signed a Master Agreement on July 28, 2011, outlining a $7.5 million equity investment in Sunlogics PLC by General Motors Ventures LLC, giving Sunlogics the ability to develop the GreenZoneSolar Charging Station and larger scale commercial solar projects.



“The Sunlogics GreenZone®Solar Charging Station captures energy from the sun and transforms it into clean, green renewable power, which is added to the grid, offsetting electricity used to charge electric vehicles. The GM China Shanghai installation is the first of its kind in China,” says Charles Bryant, Sunlogics Interim Chief Executive Officer.

First Stop Loss Point Triggered for 2012 Solar Stocks Portfolio; Yingli Green Energy Holding (NYSE:YGE)

First Stop Loss Point Triggered for 2012 Solar Stocks Portfolio; Yingli Green Energy Holding (NYSE:YGE)


New York, New York- February 3, 2012- Investorideas.com, a leader in renewable energy stock research for independent investors releases solar stocks commentary from solar expert,
J Peter Lynch. Mr. Lynch discusses the first stop loss order for his 2012 solar stocks portfolio, Yingli Green Energy (NYSE: YGE).

Solar Stocks Commentary with J Peter Lynch at Investorideas.com
http://www.investorideas.com/PL/

Our first stop loss point for our 2012 Solar Portfolio was triggered this morning with YGE trading below $4.20. We did not question our system; we simply follow it and sold the position for a small gain of 1.92% on the YGE trade.

The current status of the portfolio is an unrealized Gain of 13.92% from the positions we did not sell yet PLUS the 1.92% gain on our stop loss trade.

As a reminder below are the stop loss points I have selected based upon technical support levels in each stock. I have set these stop points very close, since, as I mentioned in the last article I did expect the markets to pull back due to the fact that they are short term overbought.
The stops for the 5 stocks in our Solar Portfolio are.
CSIQ - $3.60
GTAT - $8.25
LDK - $4.70
TSL - $7.50
YGE - $4.20

If any of these stocks reach these levels I would recommend selling that position.

Remember – the number one rule of investing:
Minimize your LOSSES and Maximize your GAINS.
The HARDEST THING for investors to do is know when to sell. That is why you have to set specific, non-emotional prices to exit if things do not go right. You cannot allow your emotions to get involved and take over your thinking.
Remember: markets fool the majority of investors by “Climbing a Wall of Worry” which is exactly what it is doing now. Losses start and keep getting worse when investors get on the “Slides of Hope” and try and hope that their stock comes back – trust me, this is a technique that will NOT work. Trust in your system and follow it.
If you looked at the portfolios of the most successful investors you would, in general, see the following pattern:
Approximately 80% of trades would be either small losses and/or small gains and approximately 20% would be very significant gains. This is exactly how we dramatically outperformed the markets in 2010 and 2011. We cut our losses when things did not work out and we let our profitable stock run and maximize our gains.
Background Notes
Keep in mind that there are two basic types of equity (stock) analysis. Below are a brief description of each and its primary purpose:
Fundamental Analysis – this is the analysis of the fundamental financial condition of a company to identify which stocks you may want to buy when the timing is right. This form of analysis will give you NO indication of the best time to buy a stock or sell a stock.
Technical Analysis – this form of analysis will tell you “when” to buy a stock and when to sell the stock. It will do this by showing you (in chart format) the basic interaction of supply and demand and when the two change and shift which will indicate a time to buy or a time to sell.

Mr. Lynch has worked, for 35 years as a Wall Street security analyst, an independent security analyst and private investor in small emerging technology companies. He has been actively involved in following developments in the renewable energy sector since 1977 and is regarded as an expert in this field. He was the contributing editor for 17 years to the Photovoltaic Insider Report, an early publication in PV that was directed at industrial subscribers, such as major energy companies, utilities and governments around the world. He is currently a private investor and has from time to time been a financial/technology consultant to a number of companies. He can be reached via e-mail at: SOLARJPL@aol.com.

Renewable Energy Stock News; Juhl Wind (OTCBB: JUHL) Announces 7th Wind System Completed in Past 24 months

Renewable Energy Stock News; Juhl Wind (OTCBB: JUHL) Announces 7th Wind System Completed in Past 24 months

Juhl Wind Reports Completion and Start-Up of Community Wind Farm Project for Gundersen Health System

PIPESTONE, Minn., Jan. 25- 2012 (Investorideas.com renewable energy newswire) Wind stock news alert: Juhl Wind, Inc. (OTCBB: JUHL), the Leader in Community Wind Power, today announced the official commercial start-up and operation of the two turbine project for Gundersen Health System in Winona County, MN. The 4.95 megawatt project (the "GL Wind project") is the first-of-its-kind in North America to be constructed specifically to address the energy concerns of a large regional health organization, in this case, Gundersen Health System.

"This unique wind project represents the continued activity by Juhl over the past two years and highlights our strength and diversity in the community wind energy market," stated Corey Juhl, Vice President of Development for Juhl Wind Inc. "We are seeing an increased demand for large commercial and industrial organization projects such as Gundersen's as they fit extremely well within Juhl Wind's area of expertise. This community-based project will provide significant economic benefits to the region. As one piece of their Envision program, the wind farm project will help Gundersen Health System achieve their goal of becoming 100% energy independent by 2014."

"This is an exciting time for Gundersen and our Envision program. This community wind project we have done with Juhl Wind was about two years in the making, and we're happy to report that the turbines are now creating energy," said Jeff Rich, executive director, GL Envision, LLC.

Rich added, "As a healthcare organization, it is important for us to lead by example. Creating renewable energy through programs, like the GL Wind project in Lewiston makes good business sense, creates local jobs during construction and ties directly to our mission of improving the health of the communities we serve. The money we generate from renewable energy projects, like the wind farm, and the money we save through energy conservation can be passed on to patients in the form of lower healthcare costs. The renewable energy projects are also allowing us to improve our environmental footprint in the communities we serve."

Magnesium Batteries Could Establish US Leadership in EV Battery Market

Magnesium Batteries Could Establish US Leadership in EV Battery Market

POINT ROBERTS, December 19, 2011 - www.InvestorIdeas.com, a leader in cleantech research and news for investors, reports on new developments in high efficient magnesium batteries.

Magnesium production and demand has nearly doubled in the past 10 years, and now a global need for green vehicle solutions may spike the demand even further.

Hoping to be first to market with a magnesium battery for electric cars, Pellion Technologies, Inc (www.pelliontech.com) is developing low-cost rechargeable Magnesium Batteries with high energy density.

Competing with lithium-ion batteries, magnesium batteries will potentially be cheaper, more efficient and also address a new issue that has come to surface – safety.

According to the Advanced Research Projects Agency at the US Department of Energy site, “Pellion Technologies, an MIT spin-out company, will develop inexpensive high-energy-density rechargeable magnesium-ion batteries with the potential to disrupt current energy storage technologies for electric and hybrid-electric vehicles. To develop a game-changing 33 magnesium-ion battery, Pellion will leverage high throughput computational materials design, coupled with accelerated materials synthesis and electrolyte optimization, to identify new high-energy density magnesium cathode materials and compatible electrolyte chemistries. If successful, this project will develop the first commercial magnesium-ion battery and will establish U.S. technological leadership in this exciting new high energy battery chemistry for electrified vehicle applications.”

With US auto sales improving and global demand and pressure to address climate change with green automotive solutions, magnesium producer China Direct Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:CDII) , is positioned with a substantial lead in market share of supplying pure magnesium and will be a key player in the green roads of the future.

China Direct Industries Inc, Inc. (NASDAQ:CDII), is a U.S. based company that sources, produces and distributes industrial commodities in China and the Americas and provides business and financial consulting services. Headquartered in Deerfield Beach, Florida with corporate offices in Shanghai, China Direct Industries' unique infrastructure provides a platform to expand business opportunities globally while effectively and efficiently accessing the U.S. capital markets.

Renewable Energy Stocks Alert: EV Charging News from Car Charging Group (OTCBB: CCGI), Ecotality (NasdaqCM: ECTY), GE Energy (NYSE: GE)

Car Charging Group (OTCBB: CCGI); Opportunity and Valuation in the Electric Vehicle Charging Market

Car Charging Group (OTCBB: CCGI); Opportunity and Valuation in the Electric Vehicle Charging Market

POINT ROBERTS, December 14, 2011 - www.InvestorIdeas.com, a leader in cleantech research and news for independent investors, publishes the following CFA commentary on Car Charging Group, Inc. (OTCBB: CCGI). The report, Opportunity and Valuation in the Electric Vehicle Charging Market, was issued by Patrick J. Murphy, Murphy Analytics LLC, a provider of sponsored research coverage on small cap stocks.

Opportunity and Valuation in the Electric Vehicle Charging Market

Car Charging Group, Inc. (OTCBB: CCGI), headquartered in Miami, Florida, is one of the nation's fastest growing providers of Electric Vehicle (EV) charging services. The Company’s ultimate mission is to establish a nationwide infrastructure, enabling EV and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) owners to charge their EVs anytime, anywhere in North America and ultimately Europe and Asia. The CCGI strategy is to be a "first in" strategic partner with businesses, municipalities, shopping malls, parking garages, multi-family residential and commercial properties, and others who are expected to have high numbers of EVs at their locations. Since launching operations in 2009, CCGI has developed contractual relationships with 29 leading partners that own more than 6.4 million parking spots. In addition to working with private enterprise, CCGI also pursues public sector opportunities. As an example, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection[i] announced 12/14/11 that that CCGI has been awarded a $1 million grant to help develop electric vehicle infrastructure by installing charging stations at 17 Turnpike service plazas.

In an attempt to understand the magnitude of the potential demand load increase, and to prepare for the impact the EV market growth may have on the electric grid, the ISO/RTC Council commissioned a study , “Assessment of Plug-in Electric Vehicle Integration with ISO/RTO Systems,” in which it was estimated that 1 million to 2.5 million EV’s may be on North American roads by 2015 – 2020. The following graphic illustrates the reports conclusion that the “slow” growth scenario is likely to result in 1 million EV by 2020:


For the period from 2017 – 2030, the study finds that: “This period is considered as the beginning of the mass-market...New technologies, advanced features, and new charging capabilities likely will be available. Third-generation PEVs are likely to begin appearing on the market. Most importantly, the vehicles will likely have appeal to mainstream automotive customers and become mass market products.”
With an estimated 842 vehicles per 1,000 citizens in the U.S. alone and the developing world’s per capita vehicle ownership ratios still exponentially below those of the U.S., the potential market opportunity for EV’s and the charging of EV’s is challenging to quantify but not difficult to characterize as very large.
Based on the recent capital raise by EV charging system operator Better Place, it seems clear that investors such as GE, UBS, HSBC and Morgan Stanley have concluded that the opportunity is indeed significant for the right operator. Announced November 11, 2011, Better Place recently completed a $200 million financing that valued the company at $2.25 billion on a post money / fully diluted basis. Better Place also reported that the Company has raised $750 million since its founding in 2007.


The Better Place solution is a model in which batteries are switched out rather than re-charged in the vehicle. According to its corporate description, Better Place “owns and operates a network of battery switch stations and public/personal charge spots, along with the supply of batteries that power the cars, to provide drivers with instant range extension and the convenience to drive, switch and go across an entire region.” Better Place also reported that the financing proceeds would be used to expand operations into Western Europe and that other deployments are in progress in two U.S. states and several other countries.

As a private company, Better Place has no obligation to disclose detailed operational and financial data, so it is challenging to analyze its valuation relative to publicly traded companies such as Car Charging Group (OTCBB: CCGI), which as noted previously, has reported that its partner relationships provide access to 6.4 million parking spots, while CCGI's recent market capitalization was under $65 million.. There are publicly traded companies such as iGo, Inc. (NASDAQ: IGOI) and ZAGG Inc. (NASDAQ: ZAGG) whose operations have some degree of comparability to those of Car Charging Group (OTCBB: CCGI). However, like some of the electronics industry titans with some manner of presence in the sector, Car Charging Group’s (OTCBB: CCGI) comparables generally have operations that also include products and markets other than EV charging systems.

Regardless of the valuation methodology, given the level at which Better Place recently was valued by a group of sophisticated investors, it seems clear that the market is concluding that there is an opportunity to thrive in the car charging sector. Companies with strong systems, management teams, relationships and competitive positions may be worth a closer look for investors interested in finding a way to take advantage of what seems to be a rapidly expanding EV charging market.

Solar Stock Alert; Magnolia Solar (OTCBB: MGLT) Receives $750,000 Phase II Award from US Air Force Research Laboratory

Award Will Fund a Two-Year Program for Flexible, High-Efficiency Solar Cells


WOBURN, MA and ALBANY, NY – Investorideas.com Renewable Energy Newswire -November 30 , 2011 -- Magnolia Solar Corporation (OTCBB: MGLT) (“Magnolia”) announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary, Magnolia Solar, Inc., recently received a $750,000 Phase II award from the United States Air Force Research Laboratory as part of the Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) program. The award will fund a two-year project to develop flexible, lightweight, ultra-high efficiency multi-junction solar cells for space power applications.

This award follows a Phase I program that demonstrated that Magnolia’s approach to simultaneously increase the current and voltage output of photovoltaic devices for space power applications. The Phase II award is to optimize the device and apply advanced anti-reflective coatings to build ultra-high efficiency flexible solar power solutions for defense applications. Magnolia is building a patent portfolio around its proprietary technologies for this award and other work with government funding from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority and the National Aeronautical Space Administration. Recently Magnolia announced demonstration of several significant milestones and this award provides a pathway to support its ultimate goal of developing low-cost, high-efficiency, thin-film solar cells for commercial and defense requirements.

Dr. Ashok K. Sood, President and CEO of Magnolia Solar Corporation, stated, “Photovoltaic devices can provide a mobile source of electrical power for a variety of military applications in space and terrestrial environments. Many of these applications can directly benefit from enhancements in the efficiency of the photovoltaic devices. In particular, flexible, lightweight, high-efficiency solar cells are needed to maximize the power-generating capability of space, ground-based, and air-based defense applications. The patent-pending technology developed during this program is expected to have immediate market opportunities for defense applications. We look forward to continuing our partnerships with MicroLink Devices and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute during this Phase II program.”
Dr. Roger E. Welser, Magnolia’s Chief Technical Officer, observed, “Current approaches to increase the efficiency of multi-junction structures typically used for space power generation are reaching practical limitations due to fundamental constraints in conventional multi-junction device design. By combining wide and narrow bandgap material within each p-n junction, quantum-structured solar cells can overcome these constraints and increase the current and the voltage output of each subcell within a multi-junction solar cell. The Phase I effort leveraged the epitaxial liftoff process developed at MicroLink Devices in Niles, IL, and has demonstrated the validity of Magnolia’s extended heterojunction photovoltaic device concept. Ultimately our approach provides a pathway for obtaining thin, flexible, multi-junction solar cells with efficiency approaching 40%.”

How China Direct Industries (NASDAQ:CDII) Plays Key Role in Green Metal of the 21st Century

What’s Driving Magnesium Markets of the Future? Lighter Cars and Magnesium Batteries on the Roads of the Future

How China Direct Industries (NASDAQ:CDII) Plays Key Role in Green Metal of the 21st Century

POINT ROBERTS, November 30, 2011 - www.InvestorIdeas.com, a global investor research portal for independent investors, reports on the future demands for magnesium with the green auto sector and how magnesium producer China Direct Industries Inc, (NASDAQ:CDII) plays a key role with the “ green metal of the 21st Century”.

China currently controls 80- 85 percent of the global magnesium market and China Direct Industries Inc, (NASDAQ:CDII) is one of the largest suppliers of pure magnesium in the world.

Recent short term global demand is down due to concerns over the debt crisis in the eurozone but domestic demand in China remains strong. Global demand can turn again as economies stabilize and new uses and applications also drive the overall market for magnesium.

According to a recent Forbes article “Fuel economy mandates will spur the development of lighter cars with materials like aluminum, magnesium and composites. EVs and hybrid vehicles will use materials such as lithium and rare earth metals like neodymium and lanthanum.”

But that may be changing as well and magnesium may be added to the mix in the battery market.

Pellion Technologies, funded by Khosla Ventures, is launching the world's first commercial magnesium battery. Pellion is developing a rechargeable magnesium-ion battery for electric and hybrid-electric vehicle applications

China Direct Industries Inc, (NASDAQ:CDII) is currently expanding the magnesium segment of it business, focusing operations on the management of facilities previously owned or controlled by Yulee Huang, a member of China Direct Industries’ board of directors and its executive vice president - magnesium.

“We currently operate four magnesium facilities in China within our Magnesium segment that produce and/or distribute magnesium products such as pure magnesium ingots, magnesium powders, granules and alloys. The current annual production capacity within our Magnesium segment is approximately 50,000 metric tons of pure magnesium ingots and 10,000 metric tons of magnesium powder. Our goal is to consolidate the fragmented industry and emerge as a global leader in the production and distribution of pure magnesium and magnesium related products.”

Benefits of Magnesium;

Stronger and lighter than steel and aluminum

33% lighter than aluminum, 60% lighter than titanium, and 75%
lighter than steel

*Magnesium is known as the green metal of the 21st century

Auto Industry and Magnesium;
(China Direct Industries Inc, (NASDAQ:CDII) PowerPoint
http://www.investorideas.com/CO/CDII/CDII-PPT-Oct%202011.pdf)

Auto industry is the greatest end user of magnesium specifically
magnesium alloying and die-casting

US Energy Law requires average fleet to increase MPG to 35 by
2020

EU Emissions Law requires automakers to cut CO2 emissions to 130
g/km by 2012 and 95 g/km by 2020

Automakers are looking to magnesium to reduce the weight of the
vehicle, increase MPG and reduce CO2; a 10% reduction in vehicle
weight leads to an estimated 6-8% savings in fuel consumption

Worldwide motor vehicle production at a rate of 77.6 million vehicles
in 2010 represents substantial potential market for magnesium and
its alloys
