Business Wire
Evolution Solar (Pink Sheets: EVSO): Barclays raised its outlook
for solar stocks broadly Wednesday saying current discounting of
stocks are off from their estimate of true demand outlook. Barclays
is estimating solar demand for 2011 to be 16 gigawatts, up from the
current industry consensus of 13.7 gigawatts. Barclays further
stated that their expectations are for the solar industry to grow
at a pace of 20% annually.
Barclays stated that they expect "greater supply of low cost
solar panels, improving profitability of downstream players,
additional cost reduction potential of low cost supply and 'rush'
to complete installations ahead of subsidy cuts to drive demand
upsides over the next few quarters."
“We are also optimistic regarding solar demand in the coming
year,” said Robert Hines, President of Evolution Solar. “Our solar
demonstration projects are beginning to come to fruition and we are
positioning Evolution Solar to benefit from increased future
business in the solar energy sector.”
Evolution Solar is currently building a solar demonstration site
in partnership with Texas Southern University, to be located at the
University's Houston Campus. Evolution Solar has recently completed
construction on a solar demonstration project in the City of
Brookshire, Texas. These projects should help Evolution Solar
acquire new business in a sector that is growing to compete in the
energy industry, which includes BP (NYSE: BP), Duke Energy (NYSE:
DUK), Penn West Energy (NYSE: PWE) and Occidental Petroleum (NYSE:
OXY).
