#Solar #Stock News: SinglePoint (OTCQB: $SING) Direct Solar rapidly expands national footprint, now covering 25 states, increasing residential solar coverage adding 9 (nine) additional states since implementing Virtual Solar Sales Platform

Virtual Solar Sales Platform successfully utilized to garner Sales, reducing and/or eliminating the sales cycle that primarily utilized in-person, in-home contact in a proactive response to COVID-19 safety precautions for our customers and employees. Battery Storage and Disaster preparedness continue to help drive consumer purchasing decisions



Phoenix, Arizona - April 7, 2020 (Investorideas.com Newswire) SinglePoint Inc. (OTCQB: SING) subsidiary Direct Solar America, a leading solar brokerage solution, has added 9 additional states, Colorado, New Mexico, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Georgia, South Carolina, New Jersey, and Connecticut since it recently repositioned it's salesforce to leverage technology platforms that enable the Company to initiate and close a solar transaction utilizing remote and virtual solar sales professionals. Shifting to a virtual sales force has been a primary focus of management since the acquisition of the company by SinglePoint in May 2019, as we believe that the ability to book sales without an in-home visit is an additional differentiator and competitive advantage in the industry where door-to-door sales of residential solar had been the common practice.





Unprecedented market conditions and temporary in-person safety concerns due to the global COVID-19 virus accelerated our timeline and adoption of this initiative. In the first week the company has closed multiple residential deals and continues to build a pipeline of homeowners interested in lessening their environmental impact while saving money by going solar. We have also seen an increase in homeowners concerned with disaster preparedness through solar and battery backup to ensure that they have access to power at home regardless of existing conditions. Home batteries store solar power so that customers can avoid expensive time-based utility rates and keep a home powered up during an outage, which solar by itself cannot do. Heightened consumer interest in clean backup power, following a wave of wildfire-related blackouts in California, spurred residential storage to its biggest-ever quarter at the close of 2019, when the industry installed 40.4 megawatts, according to data from Wood Mackenzie and the Energy Storage Association.

Direct Solar America now operates in 25 states. Partnering with top contractors across the nation has provided the company the ability to scale quickly and provide homeowners with the information needed to make an educated decision on going solar. From education to installation Direct Solar America works with our homeowners throughout the entire process.

"The Direct Solar America management team did a great job re-positioning the company quickly in these uncertain times. Across various industries, companies are being forced to transform and adapt critical components of their business model to accommodate social and physical distancing due to COVID-19, scrambling to implement solutions that allow them to continue to operate. We are fortunate that we had identified this as a strategic need at the acquisition and the foresight to begin working on implementing this type of solution. We are encouraged that we have been able to retain most of our top sales professionals and can now give them the tools to succeed in virtual sales. Ultimately we believe this is a significant improvement in the process and will continue to drive the company to new levels in the future", states Greg Lambrecht CEO SinglePoint.

To set an appointment call 844-830-1615 or visit https://directsolaramerica.com/appointment/

Our online solar process is a place for homeowners to feel comfortable and enjoy a no pressure sales environment. We look to educate homeowners on the available options in their local area encompassing product, installation and financing. We work with licensed, vetted contractors in multiple states and leverage that expertise to help homeowners make the best choice that brings the best value when selecting a solar system.
Direct Solar America is currently bringing on additional virtual agents. If you are interested in setting appointments or selling solar please contact 844-830-1615 and ask how you can start selling solar with Direct Solar America.

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

Stocks discussed: (OTCPINK:GTCH) (TSXV:DM)

GBT Technologies Inc. (OTCPINK:GTCH) has announced the beginning of its development of qTerm, an intelligent human vital signs device. Development will be done through GBT Tokenize Corp., the company’s joint venture with Tokenize-It, S.A. Using temperature and optical sensors, qTerm measures a user’s vital signs like temperature, heart rate and blood pressure, and alerts them of any abnormalities in real time. Danny Rittman, GBT’s CTO, explained:

"As part of our efforts to move forward into the medical field, we started the design of a smart device to assist with rapid measurement and reporting of body temperature, heart rate and blood pressure. We intend for the device to be enclosed in a compact case and will be easy and intuitive to use. The system will include GPS technology. We will embed our AI technology to enable the rapid measurement of accurate vital signs in real time. In case of abnormalities like high body temperature or heart rate, the system can provide an audible and visual alert.”

Datametrex AI Limited (TSXV:DM) has established a joint venture with international conglomerate Lotte Group to co-bid on contracts with the Ministry of Health in South Korea. According to the press release, “Datametrex and LOTTE recently agreed to create a JV using its AI and other relevant technologies to improve the accuracy and transparency of data which includes ability to filter disinformation for the Ministry of Health Department in South Korea.” Datametrex CEO Marshall Gunter said:

“I am thrilled to share this update with shareholders, our team has done a fantastic job [of] fast tracking with LOTTE. The work we have done this past year training our technology in various languages such as Korean, Chinese, French, and Russian is really starting to pay off.”

Global AI-Based Personalization Market to Grow by $304 Million from 2018-2022

A report from Technavio finds that the global AI-based Personalization market will grow by $304 million from 2018-2022 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of nearly 13 percent in the forecast period. An excerpt from the report snapshot gives an overview of the market:

Customer behavior drives the need for personalization of messages which can be made more effective using artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms. By using this technology, messages can be sent based on previous orders, searches, clicks, time spent on pages, interests, wish lists. The need for personalization of messages and high unsubscribe rate for mass marketing will drive the growth of the artificial intelligence personalization market size during the forecast period.
The integration of AI with augmented reality will be one of the key AI-based personalization market trends that will gain traction over the forecast period. Several brands in the retail industry are using graphic illustrator that allows their target customers to try products through mobile applications or websites. The graphics illustrator can identify facial features and then use augmented reality to apply the product on the desired body part. Such advances in technology will result in an increase in artificial intelligence personalization market size during the forecast period.

#CryptoCorner: #Bitcoin Breaks $7K, Argo #Blockchain Hits Record Mining Numbers, BIS Looks at #COVID19 Impact on CBDCs



#CryptoCorner: #Bitcoin Breaks $7K, Argo #Blockchain Hits Record Mining Numbers, BIS Looks at #COVID19 Impact on CBDCs



Point Roberts, WA, Delta BC April 6, 2020 -  Investorideas.com, a leader in crypto and blockchain investing news brings you today’s edition of the Crypto Corner podcast and commentary on what’s driving the cryptocurrency market .

Listen to today’s Crypto Corner Podcast:  



Stocks discussed: (LSE:ARB)

The crypto market is looking quite green as we begin another week. Bitcoin (BTC) is in the midst of a rally, having broken past a $7,000 trading price early this morning after spending the weekend just below it, according to data from CoinMarketCap. At press time it is trading for roughly $7,100.

Cointelegraph reports that crypto mining company Argo Blockchain (LSE:ARB) has broken its Bitcoin mining records in spite of restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The firm mined 333.8 Bitcoin in March, not too different from the 337.5 Bitcoin it mined in February. For the first three months of this year, Argo mined a company record of 918 Bitcoin total, which is more than twice what it mined in the closing three months of 2019. This resulted in the generation of $7.67 million in revenue for the first three months of 2020. The company also mentioned that its North America-based mining operations were, so far, unaffected by COVID-19 as their management and staff are able to work remotely.

Argo Blockchain stock is up 4.5 percent at press time.

A recently-published bulletin from the Bank of International Settlements (BIS), titled Covid-19, cash, and the future of payments, explored the impact of the Coronavirus on instigating the need for central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). An excerpt reads:

In the context of the current crisis, CBDC would in particular have to be designed allowing for access options for the unbanked and (contact-free) technical interfaces suitable for the whole population.6 The pandemic may hence put calls for CBDCs into sharper focus, highlighting the value of having access to diverse means of payments, and the need for any means of payments to be resilient against a broad range of threats.

And on that note, the Bank of Korea announced the launch of a CBDC pilot program today. The pilot program will involve reviews of CBDC on technology, operational and legal levels. The report notes that with current mediums of exchange still viable, the need for a CBDC is not yet pressing. A loose translation reads:

Cash demand still in existence, competitive payment services market, high level of financial inclusion. Considering such, it is not necessary to issue CBDC in the near future.
It is necessary to respond promptly to changes in internal and external conditions.

#Cleantech and #ClimateChange #Podcast - Senior Attorney with Center for Biological Diversity Discusses Environmental Impact of Government Funding TC Energy (NYSE: $TRP) Keystone XL Pipeline


 #Cleantech and #ClimateChange #Podcast - Senior Attorney with Center for Biological Diversity Discusses Environmental Impact of Government Funding TC Energy (NYSE: $TRP) Keystone XL Pipeline



Point Roberts WA, Delta BC, April 6, 2020  – (Investorideas.com Newswire) -Investorideas.com, a global news source and leading investor resource covering cleantech and renewable energy stocks (Renewableenergystocks.comissues today’s edition of the Cleantech and Climate Change Podcast, talking about today's problems and solutions for the future.

Listen to the Podcast:


Podcast host: Dawn Van Zant, founder of Investorideas.com

Today  Investorideas.com is talking to Jared Margolis, Senior Attorney with the  Endangered Species Program  for the Center for Biological Diversity, discussing  Alberta’s Premier, Jason Kenny and his  recent announcement of financial investment and support for the Keystone XL pipeline  with TC Energy Corporation (NYSE:TRP) and the potential environmental consequences of such actions 

TC Energy announced on March 31 that it will proceed with construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline Project resulting in an investment of approximately US$8.0 billion into the North American economy.

Margolis says, looking at the current global pandemic, “The response to the coronavirus has been unprecedented. While the world is seeing this as something we need to deal with right away and taking actions, why are we not taking the same actions with climate change?”

“The coronavirus has economic impacts but it’s a time where we should be looking for solutions for climate change, a potentially large catastrophe. In 2020 the WEF ranked climate change as the biggest risk to the economy and society. “

“I think when people start making the connection between climate and health, then hopefully they will see there has to be some changes.”
Following the interview with Jared Margolis on April 1st,  on April 2nd the Edmonton Journal reported “ Alberta’s UCP government has suspended environmental reporting requirements during the COVID-19 pandemic with ministerial orders signed by Environment Minister Jason Nixon Tuesday.”
“For three months, industry does not need to report as required under the Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act, the Water Act and the Public Lands Act — with the exception of drinking water and wastewater facilities.”
