Point Roberts WA, Delta BC, July 30, 2020 – Investorideas.com, a global news source and leading investor resource covering cleantech and renewable energy stocks issues a sector snapshot looking at acquisitions and consolidation in the solar sector, featuring SinglePoint, Inc. (OTCQB: SING).

Read this article, featuring SING in full at https://www.investorideas.com/news/2020/cleantech-climatechange/07301SING-RUN-VSLR-TSLA.asp

The solar industry is witnessing a global consolidation amidst the pandemic. According to CX Tech, “Fresh data from China’s solar power industry association suggests the sector is consolidating, as big companies produce a greater share of the world’s largest solar market’s cells and components and smaller ones are pushed out.”

“The nation’s ten largest photovoltaic companies by output accounted for some three quarters of China’s solar cell production in the first half of 2020, up from about 55% in January.”

What does this mean for the sector? According to Shawn Kravetz, Esplanade Capital, this is very bullish, noting, “After Consolidation, Solar Will Shatter Expectations.”

On trend within the sector in the US, SinglePoint, Inc. (OTCQB: SING) just announced that its majority owned subsidiary, Direct Solar of America, LLC , has entered into a Letter of Intent (“LOI”) to acquire Standard Eco Solar (“Standard Eco”), a developer and installer of grid-tied solar electric systems in Texas, Illinois, and Arizona for a combination of cash and stock. Direct Solar and SinglePoint are currently conducting due diligence and SinglePoint will issue common stock once the definitive agreement and audit are completed, facilitating this investment through Direct Solar of America. The transaction is expected to close no later than December 2020. Standard Eco achieved unaudited revenues of $11,345,061 in 2019 and was operationally profitable in both years.

From the news: Pablo Diaz, CEO of Direct Solar of America, stated, “We are excited to have entered into this LOI and to begin the work necessary to complete this important acquisition. We believe there is a significant opportunity to embark on a roll up strategy in the solar industry and we see this potential acquisition as an important first step forward for Direct Solar in achieving the goal of being the premier national residential and commercial solar provider. We look forward to reaching a definitive agreement and to add the experienced management and financial strength that comes with this acquisition, as we work to build significant long-term value within our business and for the SinglePoint shareholders.”

From the news This is the first acquisition from the recently announced national solar expansion through targeted business acquisitions for SinglePoint and Direct Solar. This intended acquisition will broaden the combined service offering expertise and increase the revenue base in additional to expand gross profits. Standard Eco represents an ideal acquisition that is well positioned to leverage and compliment the sales and customer acquisition platform built by Direct Solar that has recently expanded its nearly national footprint to cover 34 states, including Texas, Illinois, and Arizona where Standard Eco currently operates. Direct Solar intends to use this potential transaction, when completed, as a catalyst for its recently announced national solar installation roll up strategy. We will continue to target accretive companies within the Solar and Renewable Energy space that can benefit from our national footprint and meet our previously announced acquisition strategy. Our goal is to become the national leader in residential and commercial solar solutions and offerings operating in all 50 states.

From the news: “Our intended acquisition of Standard Eco complements our overall strategy of providing full spectrum, market leading solutions to Direct Solar’s solar customers as we continue our national expansion through a combination of organic growth and targeted acquisitions that will enhance and deepen our services within our footprint,” said Wil Ralston, President, SinglePoint Inc. “This acquisition leverages many of Direct Solar’s core capabilities and we look forward to the opportunity to expand and grow the overall revenue through expanded solar services.”

A major deal in the US made headlines on July 6^th as Sunrun (NASDAQ: RUN), a leading provider of residential solar, battery storage and energy services, and Vivint Solar (NYSE: VSLR), a leading full-service residential solar provider in the United States announced the companies have entered into a definitive agreement under which Sunrun will acquire Vivint Solar in an all-stock transaction, pursuant to which each share of Vivint Solar common stock will be exchanged for 0.55 shares of Sunrun common stock, representing a combined Enterprise Value of $9.2 billion based on the closing price of Sunrun’s shares on July 6, 2020. Vivint Solar stockholders are expected to own approximately 36% and Sunrun stockholders are expected to own approximately 64% of the fully diluted shares of the combined company. The exchange ratio implies a 10% premium for Vivint Solar shares based on closing prices on July 6, 2020, and a 15% premium to the exchange ratio implied by the three month volume weighted average price of Vivint Solar and Sunrun shares.

From the news: “Americans want clean and resilient energy. Vivint Solar adds an important and high-quality sales channel that enables our combined company to reach more households and raise awareness about the benefits of home solar and batteries,” said Lynn Jurich, Sunrun’s Chief Executive Officer and co-founder. "This transaction will increase our scale and grow our energy services network to help replace centralized, polluting power plants and accelerate the transition to a 100% clean energy future. We admire Vivint Solar and its employees, and look forward to working together as we integrate the two companies.”

The deal, according to Quartz “is the biggest consolidation in the solar industry’s history, posing a threat to Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA), the number-two competitor for rooftop panels.”

Bloomberg reported on the deal calling it, “The second major U.S. energy deal in as many days -- following Berkshire Hathaway Inc.’s $4 billion purchase of Dominion Energy Inc. assets -- also threatens to further weaken Tesla’s grip on the rooftop-solar market and could inspire more sector consolidation. Sunrun and Vivint combined provide about 75% of new residential solar leases each quarter, according to BloombergNEF.”

The solar consolidation trend is indeed global, as PV magazine reports on deal flow in France noting,“Two module manufacturers, Systovi and Voltec Solar, plan to join forces to create a bigger player in the French solar manufacturing space.”

What does this mean for investors? This trend is their friend as Barrons reported following the Sunrun and Vivint Solar deal. “Investors clearly like the idea. Sunrun stock, which has nearly doubled this year, was up 24.5% to $26.57 near midday Tuesday. Barron’s had recommended the stock last year, when it traded at $14.93. Vivint Solar was up 36.7% to $14.53, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 0.6%.”

Breaking #Cleantech #Stock News: dynaCERT (TSX: $DYA.TO) Survives COVID-19 and Re-Emerges Very Financially Healthy; @dynaCERT

TORONTO - July 30, 2020 (Investorideas.com Newswire) dynaCERT Inc. (TSX VENTURE: DYA) (OTCQX: DYFSF) (FRA: DMJ) ("dynaCERT" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it will reopen its offices and newly updated Assembly Plant in Toronto (Canada) after the long four and a half month (4-1/2) hiatus imposed under the general Government of Ontario restrictions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

New Assembly Plant Accommodating Product Improvements

The recently upgraded Company's Assembly Plant will now re-open for production and fulfilment of purchase orders on Tuesday, August 4, 2020.

The much anticipated and newly designed commercial HydraGEN™ Technology HG2 Units of the Company will be the first among Units to be rolled off dynaCERT's newest improved Assembly Line, the first commercial production run of the new HG2 models, some of which have already been paid for in part. The new HG2 design has been improved during the COVID closures. The new Assembly Line, which is also very compatible with the production of HG1 Units, is also expected to be deployed for the first runs of much improved HG1 Units in August 2020.

Much Improved Assembly Standards

The Assembly Line has been retrofitted with a new semi-automated assembly system, complete with automated and customized conveyor belt equipment advancing work-in-progress progressively to individually designated workstations which provide improved high standards in state-of-the-art technical specifications. The Assembly Line can maintain a capacity of 100 units per day or 2000 Units per month, assuming one single 8-hour shift per day. Capacity is expected to be capable of tripled production of 6000 Units per month using three shifts per day.

Of most significance, dynaCERT awarded the commissioning of this new dual-sided Assembly Line to Wecon Systems Ltd. of Mississauga (Canada), the very highly regarded specialists for this type of forward-looking project. The newly designed Assembly Plant, while improving quality control, can greatly reduce costs of goods sold and production delivery times and features the support of a proprietary Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) logistics software. dynaCERT customers can now expect almost immediate delivery of their backlog of purchase orders of HydraGEN™ Units, at their own desired rate of delivery.

Best Practices of Health & Safety

During the shutdown, dynaCERT has implemented the best practices COVID-19 recommendations of Governments, both Municipal and Provincial, and has carefully upgraded Health & Safety measures for all its employees and customers. With these new measures, the Company is confident that all employees will be provided with as safe a working environment as could be expected for a growing Canadian company in compliance with new regulatory measures. In a show of support of dynaCERT by the Federal Government, the Company has received subsidies and grants in the order of approximately $450,000 awarded under the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS).

Proprietary Advances in R&D

During the COVID-19 shutdown, the Research & Development premises and testing equipment of the Company were also upgraded. dynaCERT is continually doing scientific research to make its commercial products more robust and applicable to new vertical markets. The established R&D team, under the new management of Mr. Gavy Singh, P.Eng., has been developing product improvements which will be made available to all dynaCERT customers in all the upcoming deliveries of the Company's HydraGEN™ Technology Products. The new upgrades feature fewer moving parts, less electrical connections, a simpler design and more user-friendly operation than the existing HG1 Units being deployed at the present time. dynaCERT continues to provide existing customers with the latest upgrades to ensure its continued goodwill with end-users.

Solid Balance Sheet

The Company has re-emerged from the global COVID-19 economic slowdown with a cleaner and stronger balance sheet, having more than adequate cash reserves, a very strong balance sheet with approximately $18,000,000 in cash and virtually no significant debt, a better Assembly Plant, an improved R&D facility, significant Product improvements and a continued backlog of previously announced purchase orders.

The Sales Department of the Company continues to maintain existing dealer relationships and has added new dealers where global marketing continues to be active.

Additional Certifications in the Middle East

In the United Arab Emirates, where the Company has an active dealer, Castle Star General Trading LLC, the Company's products have recently received homologation of dynaCERT's HydraGEN™ Technology by way of Certificates of Conformity and Schedules of Certification under the Emirates Conformity Assessment Scheme, based on recent TUV South testing in Germany. The Company's products can now be offered to numerous markets in Dubai and other parts of the UAE and the Middle East.

Jim Payne, CEO of dynaCERT, stated, "Our people and our customers around the globe have been very loyal and patient during this COVID-19 shutdown, but, in the end, dynaCERT has continued to advance forward. We continue to carry out our global strategy and have emerged successful. During this time, dynaCERT raised over $8,000,000 in the capital markets via an underwritten prospectus offering, upgraded our listing to the Toronto Stock Exchange, upgraded our listing to the OTCQX Best Market in the USA, upgraded our R&D and Assembly Plant and improved our technology. dynaCERT has pushed on successfully with our plan to get certified globally with various homologations, including in the UAE, and concluded a new alignment with our North American Dealer, KarbonKleen Inc., where we can now offer our products through our wholly-owned subsidiary, dynaCERT International Strategic Holdings Inc. or DISH, via a monthly subscription programme to enhance user financing and adoption of our HydraGEN™ Technology."

Stocks discussed: (NYSE:ICE) (TSXV:HIVE)

Bitcoin (BTC) has continued to rally, having gained nearly $1,000 since Mondays’ Crypto Corner, and is now clocking in at a trading price of about $11,100, according to data from CoinMarketCap. $10,500 was identified as a crucial support level on our last episode, and Bitcoin never went below that point after reaching it later on Monday. Also on Monday, Bitcoin cracked the $11,000 mark, even peaking at about $11,250, and has since been oscillating by a few hundred dollars.

As Bitcoin was rallying, Bakkt, the crypto subsidiary of Intercontinental Exchange (NYSE:ICE), yesterday tweeted that it broke a record for Bitcoin Futures traded:

Talk about momentum! We beat yesterday's record with 11,706 Bakkt Bitcoin Futures traded today - that's over $125MM of bitcoin

HIVE Blockchain Technologies Ltd. (TSXV:HIVE) has announced that it will become a development partner in the Boden Type Data Center (BTDC) research project, described in the press release as “a European Union-funded project with the key objective of demonstrating a range of highly innovative key engineering principles to construct the most cost- and energy-efficient data centers with minimal environmental impact.” Tobias Ebel, Board Director, HIVE, explained:

"Our mission at HIVE is to provide High Performance Computing capacity with environmental responsibility. Our past achievements have been very good but the BTDC presents an opportunity to set new standards for this sector.”

Frank Holmes, Interim Executive Chairman of HIVE, said:

“Large scale HPC, including for mining of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, is a growth market. This research project is designed to provide us one of the foundations to making HIVE a more efficient and profitable operation with the lowest environmental impact.”

Japanese outlet The Asahi Shimbun reports that the Bank of Japan is to “begin substantive testing of digital currency,” and that a central bank digital currency (CBDC) has become “one of the top priority issues,” for the central bank. Takeshi Kimura, the central bank's department director-general indicated that in its work on the CBDC, the BOJ “would cooperate with the private sector, which may have more in-depth technical knowledge about the issue.” The report further indicates that pressure to keep up with China is also encouraging the central bank to speed up its efforts.
