The second in our “Solar Innovation Series” is a creative financial innovation that could sweep the nation and literally make SOLAR ENERGY for all practical purposes FREE to the average homeowner. It does NOT need a string of technical breakthroughs or new scientific discoveries all it needed is a little bit of financial innovation – simple as that.
If making money by investing in energy efficiency improvements and solar systems for our homes is so obviously needed and is also a good investment. Why do so few of us move forward and do it?

Market and Solar Stocks Outlook for 2009

Feb 15, 2009Renewable and Solar Energy Perspectives with J. Peter Lynchhttp://www.renewableenergystocks.com/PL/Exclusively for InvestorIdeas.com and Renewableenergystocks.com
One of the most disconcerting things facing investors in 2008 was the “crazy” market and the violent swings BOTH ways that seemed to go on throughout the year. With that in mind I decided to do some research on where 2008 stood in annals of stock market history.
A Little History on the broad Stock Market
As most everyone knows 2008 was certainly one of the worst years in history for the stock market in general. In fact, the Dow Jones was down 31.1% for the year, which ranks as the 6th worst year in history. I always find it informative and interesting look at history to give me a broader perspective when such a significant event occurs.

Renewable Energy Stocks Sector Close-Up on Solar Stocks; Solar Stocks Get a Two Day Run with General Markets


POINT ROBERTS, WA —November 26, 2008 -- www.RenewableEnergyStocks.com,
a leading investor news and research portal for the renewable energy sector within Investorideas.com, presents a sector close-up on solar stocks following a two day run for some of the leaders. Solar stocks traded up with the general markets but investors are cautiously optimistic following the recent speech from President-elect Obama, discussing job creation in the sector.

Renewable Energy Stocks solar expert, J. Peter Lynch commented in his most recent column, that this market may represent a generational buying opportunity, “I agree that solar P/E’s and expectations were FAR too optimistic and missed a number of rather obvious problems that were rapidly approaching (i.e. coming silicon over supply), however, at this time I believe that current expectations have moved equally to the opposite extreme with FAR too much pessimism.”
Renewable and Solar Energy Perspectives with J. Peter Lynch http://www.renewableenergystocks.com/PL/

Solar IPO’s Boom in 2006
By Peter Lynch
for InvestorIdeas.com
January 19, 2007

In the past, a solar IPO (Initial Public Offering) was a rare event, with never more than 2 or 3 coming public in any given year. This past year, 2006, marks the beginning of a significant ramp up in solar IPO’s and more importantly, it is the beginning of serious financial resources coming into the solar industry which will allow the industry to continue its current robust growth. In fact, the 2006 solar IPO boom, really started in the last 6 weeks of 2005, when Sunpower (SPWR) and Suntech (STP) came public and are up 130% and 75% respectively since their IPO’s.

The days of the solar industry being an under funded “cottage industry” are over and with the onset of serious funding, a bright new future awaits us all.
advertisement Although once again, the photovoltaics (PV) sector has dominated the public financing arena, there have been a number of ethanol related IPO’s that have also started to trade their shares on the public markets in the U.S. Below is a break down of the PV IPO’s in terms of offerings that have been completed in 2006 and offerings that have filed (with the SEC) or rumored to go public in the very near future.

Notes:
The term “market capitalization” (market cap) is the total number of shares outstanding times the current stock price – this is an important number investors should be aware of since it is the value that the market is currently placing on the entire company. Thin Film technology is what I would describe as the “next generation” of PV technology. It will NOT be subject to silicon shortages and will allow much lower cost of manufacturing.
