Investing in Solar
May 13th, 2008 by Daniel ESLR – Evergreen Solar – $8.44
Develops, manufactures, and markets solar power products primarily in Europe and the United States.
My Rating: Buy
Reasoning: Steady revenue growth with very good potential. Debt not great, but not exactly high either.
FSLR – First Solar – $303.98
Designs, manufactures, and sells solar electric power modules using a proprietary thin film semiconductor technology.
My Rating: Buy
Reasoning: Revenue growth has skyrocketed, but stock has as well and is perhaps now a bit overpriced if growth does not continue on its current pace.
AKNS – Akeena Solar – $5.31
Engages in the design, integration, installation, marketing, and sale of solar power systems for residential and small commercial customers in the United States.
My Rating: Strong Buy
Reasoning: Low debt, revenue increasing every quarter. If growth continues as it has been, stock will follow.
ASTI – Ascent Solar Technologies – $16.23
A development stage company, engages in the commercialization of photovoltaic (PV) technology developed for space satellite, near-space, and terrestrial markets.
My Rating: Buy
Reasoning: Small, growing company. Higher risk, but could be higher reward as well.
LDK – LDK Solar – $35.94
Through its subsidiaries, engages in the manufacture and sale of multicrystalline solar wafers.
My Rating: Hold
Reasoning: Larger amount of debt than most of other companies in the industry.
