Point Roberts WA, Delta BC, January 14, 2020 – Investorideas.com, a global news source and leading investor resource covering cleantech and renewable energy stocks issues a sector snapshot looking at how cleantech may be the sector to watch in 2020. Following on a strong year in 2019, solar stocks, fuel cell stocks and EV stocks are also leading the pack going into 2020.

According to ETF.com’s recent article (Lara Crigger), “It's true that rising Iran-U.S. tensions have caused a spike in energy funds. Astonishingly, however, the best-performing ETF of the past few weeks wasn't an oil or a natural gas fund—but a renewable power one.

“Over the past 30 days, the SPDR S&P Kensho Clean Power ETF rose 16.4%, more than any other non-leveraged, non-inverse ETF.”   

According to a report and outlook for 2020 by Deloitte, “For the first time ever, in April 2019, renewable energy outpaced coal by providing 23 percent of US power generation, compared to coal’s 20 percent share.1 In the first half of 2019, wind and solar together accounted for approximately 50 percent of total US renewable electricity generation, displacing hydroelectric power’s dominance.“

2019 saw the global hydrogen fuel sector add more than 1GW of new capacity for the first time, according to a report by energy consultancy E4tech.

According to EEI, there were 18 million ELECTRIC VEHICLES (EV’S) on the road in the U.S.as of March 31, 2019.

SinglePoint, Inc. (OTCQB: SING) and its solar subsidiary, Direct Solar of America are seeing the strength in the sector first-hand. In a recent  update to shareholders, Greg Lambrecht, Founder and Chief Executive Officer said, “The 2020 domestic Solar Market is showing continued signs of riding a new tailwind driven by talks of a New Green Deal. We anticipate that renewables will continue to be an important issue around the country, and plan to focus the majority of our attention on growth in the solar and renewables space.”

He also went on to state. “This year management has set an internal goal to surpass $10,000,000 in gross revenues, primarily by the Company’s subsidiary SinglePoint Direct Solar LLC (“Direct Solar” doing business as Direct Solar of America). 2019 was a great year for SinglePoint in terms of continued fundamental improvement, setting the foundation for anticipated continued growth in 2020 and beyond. The Company achieved some significant milestones this year; it became fully reporting with the Securities and Exchange Commission, increased annual revenue, and acquired a Fifty One Percent interest in Direct Solar. We will continue to focus on creating shareholder value utilizing an acquisition strategy looking for emerging growth companies that would benefit from exposure and access to capital that a public company can provide.

Direct Solar now has over 60 people deployed across 11 states and 20 cities.

From 2017 to 2018 our gross revenue increased over 344% and is expected to increase to approximately $3,000,000 (Three Million) in 2019 representing our largest annual reported revenue in company history. In 2020 we expect this revenue increase to continue as SinglePoint will benefit from a full operating year of Direct Solar.”

Reflecting the strength of solar stocks, the Invesco Solar ETF (NYSE: ARCA: TAN) just recently hit a 52 week high.  According to Zack’s Research the move was based on this: “The highest-ever solar installation and the exemption of tariff on one type of solar panels have supported the upside. Moreover, the solar industry has been growing on a rebound in global solar demand, competitive pricing and potential Chinese subsidies. Also, California’s initiative to make solar panels essential to all new homes built in 2020 and beyond is helping the solar industry.“

Ballard Power Systems (NASDAQ: BLDP) (TSX: BLDP) has been on a roar in 2020 as was one the top performers on the TSX in 2019. Ballard zero-emission PEM fuel cells are enabling electrification of mobility, including buses, commercial trucks, trains, marine vessels, passenger cars, forklift trucks and UAVs. According to their presentation, “Fuel cell technology is needed to achieve complete decarbonization of Transportation.”

In recent news, Randy MacEwen, Ballard President and CEO said, “In less than 10 years, it will become cheaper to run a fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) than it is to run a battery electric vehicle (BEV) or an internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle for certain commercial applications.”

FuelCell Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: FCEL) and Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) are both holdings in the CNRG SPDR S&P Kensho Clean Power ETF, both showing strong performance and showing fuel cell and EV’s are sectors to watch in 2020.

Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLAjust announced on January 3rd “In the fourth quarter, we achieved record production of almost 105,000 vehicles and record deliveries of approximately 112,000 vehicles. In 2019, we delivered approximately 367,500 vehicles, 50% more than the previous year and in line with our full year guidance.”

“We continue to focus on expanding production in both the US as well as our newly launched facility in Shanghai. Despite breaking ground at Gigafactory Shanghai less than 12 months ago, we have already produced just under 1,000 customer salable cars and have begun deliveries. We have also demonstrated production run-rate capability of greater than 3,000 units per week, excluding local battery pack production which began in late December.”

Deloitte says, “The renewable energy industry is primed to enter a new phase of growth driven largely by increasing customer demand, cost competitiveness, innovation, and collaboration. Companies that are ready to innovate, collaborate, and seize new opportunities will likely thrive in a new phase of renewable growth.”

Today’s Column- The AI Eye- Watching stock news, deal tracker and advancements in artificial intelligence

Stocks discussed: (NasdaqGS:AMZN) (NYSE:IBM) (NasdaqGS:MSFT)

Germany’s premier football (soccer) league, Bundesliga, has selected Amazon (NasdaqGS:AMZN) subsidiary AWS (Amazon Web Services) as its official technology provider. According to the press release, Bundesliga will leverage “AWS artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), analytics, compute, database, and storage services to deliver real-time statistics to predict future plays and game outcomes, and recommend personalized match footage across mobile, online, streaming, and television broadcasts.” Andy Isherwood, Vice President and Managing Director EMEA, Amazon Web Services, Inc., commented:

"As the league with the highest average number of goals per game, and the highest stadium attendance globally, the Bundesliga is one of the most entertaining sports leagues in the world. We are thrilled to work with the Bundesliga and help them use cloud technology to give football fans around the world a more engaging match day experience and look forward to helping them leverage our deep portfolio of ML and AI services so they can deliver even greater insight into the world’s favourite game."

IBM (NYSE:IBMannounced that “enhanced solution capabilities are being developed in collaboration with other providers for the IBM Sterling Supply Chain platform”, today at the National Retail Federation's 2020 Big Show. Jeanette Barlow, VP, Offering Management and Strategy, IBM Sterling, explained:

"The retail industry is poised for a renaissance as companies move away from siloed and legacy applications towards scalable, enterprise-tuned platforms that can holistically address customer-facing and supply chain operations challenges. This shift is likely compounding the industry's need to quickly innovate across traditional functional domains and deliver new capabilities that span operations and even third party supply chain partners. To create the seamless and personalized experience customers expect and provide a true first-mover advantage, companies should modernize supply chains on top of open platforms that can harness technologies such as AI, blockchain, IoT, and hybrid cloud. Our relationships in this space can help our clients to make this shift more quickly."

Microsoft Asia and IDC Asia/Pacific Find AI Adoption in Retail Brings Improvements in SE Asia

Research from Microsoft Asia (NasdaqGS:MSFT) and IDC Asia/Pacific finds that “retail organizations that have adopted AI are already seeing improvements of 16 to 19 percent in customer engagement, business intelligence, profit margins, competitiveness and innovation,” and that “by 2021, retail organizations in the region expect AI to drive a further improvement of between 37 to 44 percent in these areas.” Raj Raguneethan, Regional Business Lead, Retail and Consumer Goods, Microsoft Asia, said:

"Upended by a US$1.5 trillion e-commerce market, retailers in the region must quickly adapt to savvy, connected consumers that generate a trail of digital and omnichannel footprints that can be analyzed. These footprints are generated from consumers combining channels like mobile, app, in-store and desktop throughout the purchasing process.

To stay competitive, a shift to intelligent retail is required to add ease, convenience, customization and automation -- across business processes and operations, customer experiences, and the very products and services offered. This can be done by turning to cloud and AI tools as the underlying, connective tissue for digitization and business transformation."
