Mi lenne? Kisütött a nap. Nem azzal foglalkoznak!? ))
na ja, csak készüljön is el, álljon valóban termelésbe, és folyjanak be az első pénzek. Mindaddig sajnos ez is csak spekuláció marad, mint annyi minden ebben a szektorban
Ez viszont érdekes:
The 50MW New Mexico solar project First Solar (FSLR) recently bought might sell electricity at a rate less than half that typically charged by new coal plants, based on a recent regulatory filing (.pdf). Maxim's Aaron Chew, who has been bearish on FSLR for some time, notes the rate is also less than half what First Solar will charge for its Antelope Valley, Topaz, and Agua Caliente projects. However, government incentives will likely improve the project's ROI.
igazad lehet, ugyanakkor jelenleg is top10 agyonshortolt rv közt van
Én várnék vele, jönnek most leminősítések is, remegő kezűek eldobhatják: http://www.thestreet.com/story/11829571/1/first-solar-inc-stock-sell-recommendation-reiterated-fslr.html?puc=yahoo&cm_ven=YAHOO
ennek ellenére FSLR alig emelkedett, tehát nincs benne most nagy erő. Ezért lecsorgásra számítok, lehet, 27-es belépőm is túl magas lenne, és türelemmel meg kéne várni 25.5-ön?
Jól néz ki! Én ezt találtam tegnap:
Cash-strapped LDK Solar (LDK +8.8%) jumps after scoring a $69.8M loan from China Development Bank to finance an upgrade to a polysilicon plant. The news comes a week after LDK announced it's selling a 12.1% stake to peer Funai Investment. Meanwhile, Suntech (STP +4.4%) announces it has completed a 3.5MW Saudi project, and First Solar (FSLR +0.1%) discloses it has bought a 50MW project based in Luna County, NM, and set to be finished in 2014.
First Solar Acquires 50 MWAC Macho Springs Project from Element Power Solar
TEMPE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- First Solar, Inc. (Nasdaq: FSLR) and Element Power Solar today announced that First Solar has acquired the 50-megawattAC (MW) Macho Springs Solar project that Element Power Solar has developed in Luna County, N.M. When complete, it will be the state's largest solar power project.
The photovoltaic (PV) solar project is expected to be completed in 2014, providing up to 400 construction jobs, and producing enough clean, renewable energy to power over 18,000 homes while displacing 40,000 tons of CO2 per year—the equivalent of taking 8,000 cars off the road. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
The Macho Springs Solar project is located on land leased from the New Mexico State Land Office, and electricity from the facility will be purchased by El Paso Electric (NYSE: EE) under a power purchase agreement that is subject to regulatory approvals, expected in the first half of 2013.
"We're very excited to continue our work in New Mexico, increasing the state's utility-scale solar generation capacity," said Dana Diller, First Solar Vice President of U.S. Business Development.
"Element Power is pleased to once again work with the State of New Mexico, Luna County, the town of Deming and El Paso Electric to bring renewable energy and economic development to the region. The sale of Macho Springs Solar to First Solar is the result of a strong working relationship that draws on each company's strengths," said Raimund Grube, COO of Element Power.
"We look forward to working with First Solar on this very important renewable energy project that will benefit all El Paso Electric customers," said Tom Shockley, El Paso Electric Chief Executive Officer. "We also want to thank Element Power Solar for its dedication and commitment to bringing this project to fruition."
The Macho Springs project was the result of a Request for Proposal (RFP) by El Paso Electric to include additional electric peaking resources in its current energy mix.
First Solar will construct the Macho Springs facility using its advanced thin-film PV modules. First Solar PV systems have the smallest carbon footprint and shortest energy payback time of any PV technology on the market today.
First Solar completed New Mexico's 30 MW Cimarron Solar facility in 2011, which is owned by Southern Company and Turner Renewable Energy. First Solar also completed 22 MW of solar projects in the state for PNM Resources, Inc. in 2011 and has been selected to build another 21.5 MW for PNM for expected completion in late 2013.
inkább 26-27 közt, napos trendvonal + fibo korrekciós szintek. Ott van még a sávozásból kitörés helye is, amit illett visszatesztelnie. Én ált. magasabb áron szállok be, mint amit jósolni vélek, nehogy hibahatáros dolog miatt maradjak le vmiről. Ez gyakran balul sül el, mert az ellenkező irányban megy hibahatárig, ezért én jó drágán szállok be. Pl. most ideális beszállót 26.5-nél látok, hibahatár +/- 1 usd, tehát lehet, 25.5 fogja meg, de lehet, nem megy sokkal 27.5 alá.
Stopom 25 alatt lenne

First Solar will provide a solar photovoltaic (PV) array to help power the event, including the Waste Management corporate tent on the 18th hole. The 2013 Waste Management Phoenix Open will take place Monday, Jan. 28, through Sunday, Feb. 3, at the TPC Scottsdale.
"It's great to have First Solar return to this year's Waste Management Phoenix Open and expand our sustainability efforts," said Tom Altieri, 2013 Waste Management Phoenix Open Tournament Chairman. "With First Solar powering a portion of the event, including Waste Management's corporate tent, with green renewable energy, we further illustrate why we're the 'Greenest' Show on Grass."
"We're proud to showcase our technology and support an event that's an important part of the PGA Tour and our community," said Ted Meyer, First Solar Vice President of Communications.
Meyer said fans at the TPC Scottsdale will have an opportunity to see the same First Solar PV technology used at the recently completed Avra Valley solar project near Tucson and at numerous other utility-scale projects under development in the U.S. southwest.
A custom 1.6 kilowatt mobile demonstration solar array will be deployed adjacent to the Waste Management corporate tent, providing the site with clean, renewable electric power for the run of the tournament. The array was fabricated with assistance from Tucson-based Premiere Builders Group.
The tournament host Thunderbirds have raised more than $80 million for charities, with more than $50 million generated since 2004. The 2013 edition will mark the 78th playing of the event, making it one of the five oldest events on the PGA Tour (not including the major championships). Title sponsor Waste Management, Inc., based in Houston, Texas, is the leading provider of comprehensive waste management services in North America.

First Solar Recommends Stockholders Reject Mini-Tender Offer by TRC Capital Corp
TEMPE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- First Solar, Inc. (Nasdaq: FSLR) has been notified of an unsolicited "mini-tender" offer by TRC Capital Corporation (TRC) to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares, or approximately 2.3 percent, of the outstanding First Solar common stock at a price of $30.00 per share in cash. TRC's offer price is approximately 5 percent less than the $31.58 closing price of First Solar's common stock on January 22, 2013, the day before the mini-tender offer commenced.
First Solar does not endorse TRC's mini-tender offer and recommends that First Solar stockholders do not tender their shares in response to the offer because it is a mini-tender offer at a price below the market price for First Solar shares (as of the date First Solar received notice of the offer) and is subject to numerous conditions. According to TRC's offer documents, First Solar stockholders who have already tendered their shares may withdraw their shares at any time prior to 12:01 a.m.New York City time, on Feb. 22, 2013, the expiration date set forth in the offer documents (unless extended), by following the procedures described in the offer documents. First Solar urges stockholders to obtain current market quotes for their shares, to review the conditions to TRC's mini-tender offer, to consult with their brokers or financial advisors and to exercise caution with respect to this mini-tender offer. First Solar is not associated with TRC, its mini-tender offer or the offer documentation.
TRC has made many similar mini-tender offers for shares of other companies. Mini-tender offers are designed to seek to acquire less than 5 percent of a company's outstanding shares, thereby avoiding many disclosure and procedural requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that apply to offers for more than 5 percent of a company's outstanding shares. As a result, mini-tender offers do not provide investors with the same level of protections as provided by larger tender offers under United States securities laws.
The SEC has cautioned investors about these offers, noting that "some bidders make mini-tender offers at below-market prices, hoping that they will catch investors off guard if the investors do not compare the offer price to the current market price." The SEC's Investor Tips regarding mini-tender offers may be found on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov/investor/pubs/minitend.htm.
First Solar encourages brokers and dealers, as well as other market participants, to review the SEC's letter regarding broker-dealer mini-tender offer dissemination and disclosures at www.sec.gov/divisions/marketreg/minitenders/sia072401.htm and NASD's Notice to Members 99-53, issued July 1999, regarding guidance to members forwarding mini-tender offers to their customers, which can be found at www.finra.org/web/groups/industry/@ip/@reg/@notice/documents/notices/p004221.pdf. First Solar requests that a copy of this news release be included with all distributions of materials relating to TRC's mini-tender offer.
First Solar Begins Construction of Campo Verde Solar Project
Benefits include 250 construction jobs, $230 million in economic activity
EL CENTRO, Calif. & TEMPE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- First Solar, Inc. (Nasdaq: FSLR) today announced it has started constructing the 139 megawatt Campo Verde Solar Project, located near El Centro in Imperial County, Calif. The solar power plant is expected to be completed in 2013.
Economic benefits of the project include approximately 250 construction jobs, as well as over $230 million in new economic activity to the Imperial Valley, according to a county study.
The project gained the approval it needed on Dec. 18, 2012, from the Imperial Irrigation District (IID) for easements required to cross IID's Westside Main Canal with the project's transmission line. Earlier approvals included a decision to issue a Right of Way grant from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and a Conditional Use Permit from Imperial County.
"The County of Imperial is very pleased to see the commencement of construction of the Campo Verde Solar Project, which brings numerous benefits to the Valley and our citizens," said Ray Castillo, County Board President. "First Solar's project brings much needed jobs and economic development to the Valley at a time when it is sorely needed. The project also pays added tax revenue, funds for agricultural benefits and community benefits while helping the County diversify its economy. We've been working to attract projects like this for the past five or six years and are glad to see it's finally happening. These projects are really our legacy for the Imperial Valley."
"First Solar is grateful to the IID, Imperial County, and the BLM for their support of this project," said James F. Cook, First Solar Project Development Director. "Campo Verde is creating badly needed jobs and will help the county and state reach their renewable energy goals."
First Solar will construct the project using its advanced thin film PV modules that generate clean, renewable energy with no emissions, waste or water consumption during operation. The project will generate enough electricity to power approximately 50,000 average California homes, displacing 80,000 metric tons of CO2 per year, the equivalent of taking 15,000 cars off the road.
