Solar Investment Highlights

Investing in Green Tech is a good bet. I am not going to profile beyond what the Press Release States. Please due your due diligence before investing.

Green Energy Technology (GET)

Mass production of its thin-film solar photovoltaic line, with plans to reach an annual capacity 30 MW in the first quarter of 2009 and ramp to 50 MW in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Efficiency: Reached conversation rates of 7%

Quality:
GET is using the Applied Materials SunFab design to produce modules measuring 2.2 meters by 2.6 meters. GET adds that it is the first company to mass-produce large thin-film modules in Taiwan.

Acciona Energy

Behind the Scenes:
Acciona has invested around 261 million euros in the 46 MW plant, which the company says is the largest of its kind in the world. The plant was constructed in 13 months.

China Sunergy (CSUN)

Sleeping with the enemy (India)

Under the terms of the agreement, China Sunergy will supply and deliver a total volume of 12 MW of multi-crystalline solar cells. China Sunergy is expected to deliver 5 MW to Ajit Solar in the first half of the year, and the remaining 7 MW in the latter half.

Juwi International

This plant is the fourth-largest photovoltaic array in the world, the company adds. "We've completed a one-of-a-kind project, in which grid connection happened even faster than we anticipated," says Ingo Rödner, juwi branch director.

Evergreen Solar (ESLR)

Shipment:
ESLR shipped 8.5 MW of products from its Devens, Mass., factory and an additional 3.7 MW from its Marlboro, Mass., pilot manufacturing facility, during the fourth quarter of 2008.

Expansion:
ESLR expects to reach full capacity of about 40 MW per quarter from Devens in the second half of 2009 as planned.

Amtech Systems (ASYS)

Orders:
Its solar subsidiary, Tempress Systems Inc., has received approximately $5 million in solar orders for its diffusion processing systems from two new customers - one in Asia and the other in Europe.

Yingli Green Energy Holding Co. Ltd. (YGE)

Sales:
Yingli Green Energy is expected to supply a minimum of 15 MW of PV modules to GOLDBECK Solar in 2009. In addition, the contract provides a framework for GOLDBECK Solar to purchase up to an additional 58 MW of PV modules from Yingli Green Energy in 2009.

Solar Power Inc. (SPI)

Contract Deal:
Entered into a one-year supply agreement with JA Solar Holding Co. Ltd. Under the terms of the agreement, JA Solar has committed to supply up to 60 MW of its six-inch polycrystalline photovoltaic cells

TOSHIBA

Toshiba says it will secure orders for large solar power generation systems by drawing on its competitive advantages. Its expertise includes high-efficiency power conditioning systems and the rechargeable Super Charge ion battery.

Keep an eye out for them. A major challenge for the industry is -- How do you store energy after the Sun Sets? Great long term pick!

China Technology Development Group Corp. (CTDC)

Short Term Project:
China focusing on a-Si thin film technology, has signed an agreement with Qinghai New Energy Group Co. Ltd. (QNE) and the local government of the Qinghai Haixi Mongolian-Tibetan Autonomous Region to build a 30 MW on-grid solar power station in the Qaidam Basin of northwestern China.

Long Term Goals:
"Although the installed power-generating capacity of the first phase of Qaidam solar power station will be 30 MW, the total long-term power objective of the project is 1 GW. The Qaidam solar power station, the first of its kind in China to integrate both crystalline silicon and thin-film solar modules, will be the largest on-grid solar power station in China after fully completed. CTDC and QNE will begin construction of the project in 2009, with an initial investment of $150 million."

These guys are a STRONG PICK!

Please check out some of these companies. I am compiling all my outlets to make it easier for me to have a quick resources. I am putting all this information on the web, so others can benefit too! Making money in green energy should not be a secret. Tell your friends, the more money the industry receives the closer we will get to reaching our clean energy goals!
