		<description><![CDATA[Despite oil prices’ ability to maintain a level close to $100/bbl., the solar power industry has been thoroughly decimated in 2011. Major bankruptcies, political scandals that have called into question subsides to the space, and intense competition from China have all combined to make an investment in this budding industry a big loser so far this year. Yet, given the appeal of the industry to some from a long term perspective, a few buy-and-holders have begun to dip their toes into the space hoping to get in at a favorable price point that has not been seen in years for some companies in the industry. This trend could really take off in the months ahead as the world’s most famous investor, Warren Buffett, announced plans to have one of his ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week, Wells Fargo &#38; Company (WFC) announced to finance for the operation of 53.5 megawatt (MW) photovoltaic solar power project of Sun Edison in New Mexico. The project includes five solar power plants, while three plants will be activated in the installation phase. The remaining two plants are anticipated to be in operation before the end of 2011. For the installation phase, Wells Fargo has already provided more than $200 million. Wells Fargo’s foray into the renewable energy sector is not new. The company’s Energy Investments group is mainly focused on renewable energy projects – wind and solar. Since 2006, the company has invested about $2.2 billion in renewable energy projects, including funding for 35 wind projects and more than 220 solar projects in 26 states.

Earlier in August 2011, ReneSola had announced a repurchase program of $100 million of its ADSs. The focus of the company in increasing value for its shareholder is evident from the $100 million program as the current market capitalization of the company is only $260 million. ReneSola at the end of the second quarter of 2011 had cash and cash equivalents of $480.8 million, compared with $435.9 million at the end of the sequentially preceding quarter.

(WFR) recently announced the termination of the solar wafer supply agreement between its Singapore unit and Suntech Power Holding Co. Ltd. (STP). MEMC will receive a handsome $120.0 million from Suntech for the termination. The original deal between MEMC Singapore Pte Ltd. and Suntech, the leading Chinese solar energy company, was struck in 2006. Per this 10-year deal, MEMC was required to supply solar wafers at a predetermined price. As an advance, Suntech deposited a certain security amount and allowed MEMC to take over up to a 4.99% stake in it. However, persistent downturn in polysilicon prices led the companies to amend the contract twice in 2009. Accordingly, prices were cut and volumes were raised. But as further ]]></description>

Under the extended agreement, MEMC Singapore and Flextronics will combine forces to fabricate solar panels for SunEdison, a subsidiary of MEMC. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. The initial agreement, signed in December 2010, entailed production of MEMC-branded panels in the Flextronics’ Ontario facility. Each panel had an annual capacity of 50 megawatts. The panels also met a portion of the local demand emerging from Ontario’s Feed-in Tariff Program. Now, solar panels will be produced from Flextronics’ Malaysia facility, with a yearly capacity of 270 megawatts.

Micron stated that the unit is under construction and is likely to be operational within the next three to five years, depending on existing market conditions. The idea behind this expansion is to complement Micron’s existing facility in Xi&#8217;an, which was built in 2007. The first Chinese facility was designed for assembly and test operations of Micron’s semiconductor products, including dynamic random access memory (DRAM), NAND flash memory and CMOS image sensors. The new semiconductor Test and Module Assembly unit will accommodate Micron&#8217;s Asian customers. The Asia-Pacific region has been growing  in leaps and bounds over the past few quarters.

		<description><![CDATA[A reduction in inflated crude prices, optimistic comments from the President of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and mixed economic data helped markets edge higher on Monday.

		<description><![CDATA[The fear gauge Volatility Index (VIX) surged to its highest level since May last year and benchmark indices suffered sharp declines on Tuesday. Unrest in the Middle East and North Africa continued as immediately after the overthrow of leaders in Egypt and Tunisia, demonstrators in Bahrain, Libya and Algeria put forward similar demands. Libya has the largest oil reserves in Africa and Bahrain is next only to Saudi Arabia when it comes to oil reserves. The situation has sparked concern over oil prices and crude prices surged to their highest level in 2.5 years. The trend of rising markets now seems to be suffering a setback. On Tuesday, the Dow fell 1.44% and closed at 12,212.79. The S&#38;P 500 was down 2.05% to 1,315.44 and the Nasdaq closed at 2,756.44, ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Wednesday, JPMorgan Chase &#38; Co. (JPM) announced that its unit JPMorgan Capital Corporation has signed a deal with SunEdison to finance a solar (photovoltaic) energy development project. The amount to be invested by the company is approximately $60 million, which would be deployed in important SunEdison markets across the U.S. JPMorgan will fund the SunEdison project through SunE Solar Fund X and will finance several megawatts (MW) of solar deployments. This will be used in government and commercial projects. The SunEdison project is the first distributed generation (DG) solar program for the company. The distribution grid of such installations is usually located at or near the intended place of use. Under the agreement, SunEdison will finance, construct, monitor and maintain the photovoltaic power plants at customer locations. These clients ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[MEMC Electronic Materials’ (WFR) fourth-quarter earnings missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2 cents. The company’s share price fell 17.5% in response to the news. Revenues Revenues of $356.7 million were up 15.1% sequentially and down 16.2% year over year. The primary reason for the sequential increase was higher semiconductor volumes, helped by slightly better prices and a one-month contribution of $3.8 million from the newly acquired SunEdison. Although semiconductor wafer volumes doubled, compared to the year-ago quarter and solar volumes were stable, this was more than offset by a significant decline in prices. Semiconductors generated around 60% of total revenues in the last quarter, while solar accounted for the rest. The semiconductor share has risen considerably over the last two quarters, due to strengthening in the market. Margins The pro ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[MEMC Electronic Materials, Inc. (WFR) produces the raw material wafers used by semiconductor manufacturers in the production of integrated circuits (ICs). The decision to supply wafers to the solar industry paid huge rewards in 2007 and 2008, as demand for polysilicon raced ahead of supply. The Solar business and the 300mm business are both high-margin products. The spot price of polysilicon has been slashed from a peak of $400 per/kg to the $60-$70 per/kg range. The stock is significantly undervalued. We are reiterating our Buy rating on the shares of WFR. Zacks Investment Research]]></description>
