Suntech (STP): Solar 'ChangeWave'
2009-09-11 06:00:00 Long-standing growth stock expert Toby Smith looks to Suntech Power (NYSE: STP) as a long-term investment in alternative energy. Here's the latest from his ChangeWave Investing."Suntech, like every other solar company, has been impacted by a lack of financing from the slow release of the Stimulus funds -- and its latest quarterly results reflect that."Prices for its solar panels fell 8% in Q2 and will likely drop another 15% to 20% in the current quarter. Still, Suntech's Q2 profit topped consensus by 3 cents on revenue that fell by one-third, to $321 million."In the quarter, STP's gross margin rose to18.6% in Q2, from 17.8% in Q1, as the price of silicon fell faster than the price of the manufactured cells."During its conference call, STP said there was a 53% increase in shipments for Q2 due to a seasonal pickup, improving project returns and some improvement in the credit markets."It also said that the tight credit markets are among the biggest...

Get a TAN with solar ETF
2009-08-25 14:00:00 Looking at the sector from a long-term view, Leonard Goodall sees potential for "substantial growth" in the global solar power market. Here's his latest from No-Load Portfolios."In recent years, there has been a major interest in energy sources that are renewable, are environmentally-firendly, can be found in most countries of the world and are reasonably priced."Solar energy certainly fits the bill for the first three of the conditions, but falls a bit short on the 'reasonably priced' issue."Although sunlight is free, converting it to electricity isn't. It current takes government incentives to make solar energy a competitive energy source, although technological advances such as thin-film solar panels along with higher fossil fuel energy prices could change the cost equation in favor of solar."Spain is currently the number one market for solar energy generation, followed by Germany and Japan. "Expectations are that China...

Solar Eclipse
2009-07-25 16:07:00 This week's incident of total solar eclipse in India took me back to the previous event that happened in early 80s. I was studying in the engineering. Nearest place to watch the solar eclipse was Hubli . We decided to descend on this city and watched it from the terrace of Raghu Kaka?s palatial bungalow. Use of Sun glasses then was not popular . We had to make a special trip to photo studio to buy a square inch of blank developed photo film. The whole city of Hubli was galvanized for this event. The event was around 4pm and when it did happen, the sheer excitement was so exhilarating that seeing the spectacle through square inch of photo film seemed futile and inadequate. Go out of the hand this sharp edged square film and devour what you can with your naked eyes. Witnessing the diamond ring phenomenon, as the sun came out of the eclipse was terrific and also the effect of sand dunes type of images rapidly moving past your feet was electrifying. A lot of stories would float around...

Live Solar Eclipse 2009 - Hoo-hah On The Internet
2009-07-22 06:41:00 Today the World witnessed a supernal sight of the magnificent diamond ring that occurs once in 100 years. The solar eclipse was visible for nearly three minutes after it occurred. Certain locations marked this historic event as the “longest solar eclipse of the 21st Century”. Starting at around 1:32am (GMT) the eclipse lasted for 6 minutes and 39 seconds. Unfortunately the eclipse was only visible in Asia and the Pacific. But the Asians simply loved it. And apparently, what a hoo-hah on the internet to watch live streaming of the celestial spectacle. On Twitter @AstronomyMag kept the viewers updated about each movement of the moon coming in the sun’s way which is a rare sight. The clouds played hide-and-seek but still astro-enthusiasts gathered at several places. They got their prize as they got a glimpse of the sun. Eighty-three per cent of the sun dial was obscured by the moon. The Government of Gujarat explained how beautiful the solar eclipse could look. They...
