Recs 0 (CSUN) muirmm (99.71) Submitted: 10/01/08 2:03 AM : Start Price: $7.99 CSUN Score: -21.37 All the solar manufacturers have sold off because of uncertainty over whether renewable energy tax credits will be extended. I'm very sure they will be, and so have picked a number of these companies to outperform for a few months. I think the credits will be renewed, which will cause these stocks to go up in price. I even have long positions in JASO and ESLR in my real-life account. I intend to sell them soon after the tax credits are renewed, as that should cause a nice pop in the stock prices. After that, I believe solar stocks will be a bad bet. Nanosolar (not a public company) will soon flood the market with much cheaper solar cells. Based on their press release in June, they have the potential to build a staggering number of solar cells with their breakthrough panel-printing method. Assuming they are telling the truth, I would estimate their capital cost to be fifty times lower than for silicon-cell manufacturing, and their materials and labor costs to be at least ten times cheaper. Once they get rolling, they will be able to make an essentially infinite supply of panels at a tenth the current price. That will make life REALLY hard for all the other manufacturers.

If CSUN can continue with this profitability it will return to previous highs, soon. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops! There appears to be a problem with your comment.

I am long some of what I feel are the better solar companies, but going under perform on what I feel are the weaker companies. Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops!

Well, I rode this one down 7 times and back up 2 times to my great profit, point-wise. And now I'm riding it back down -- the global stock market has just turned very sour, and shorts are the in thing these days. IRL, I think that solar has a very "bright" future (heh heh) and CSUN in particular is "shining" and turning the corner. A new 25 MW deal with CSIQ should "light up" CSUN's profits. Investment in increased efficiency (17.5% - 18.2% range) solar cells should also "warm up" things nicely in the next year or two. Finally, I believe the Communist Chinese government will do whatever is necessary to make the Beijing 2008 summer Olympic Games a "glowing" success -- including cleaning up the air and the rest of the environment -- and CSUN and parent company CEEG should get a profitable chunk of that market. So I see some "rays" of hope!
