LAS VEGAS, Nov. 12, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — News released this week by GWS Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB:GWSC), an alternative energy company developing and marketing solar and wind-powered renewable energy products and solutions, could mean major advancements in the use of solar power in Arizona.

Zacks Market Commentaries (August 21st, 2009) Writes:
Suntech Power Holdings Co. Ltd. (STP) failed to live up to market expectations of a revival in its fiscal second quarter. Although EPADS of 6 cents during the quarter surpassed the Zacks Consensus EPADS estimate of a penny, this was a far cry from the year-ago EPADS of 31 cents. Also, the quarterly results included a $17.5 million foreign exchange gain on account of the appreciation of the euro versus the dollar. Excluding this impact, the company swallowed a loss per ADS of 5 cents during the quarter. On the revenues front, Suntech witnessed a marginal growth of 1.7% sequentially to $321 million. The growth came through higher shipments leading to volume growth over the first quarter of 2009. Suntech’s dependence on Germany continues, with almost half of its sales coming from the country during the quarter, and Italy chipping in a healthy 13%. The company also generated revenues

While renewable energy has gained immense support and popularity, the high upfront costs associated with residential rooftop solar panels oftentimes outweigh the long-term benefits. Even with federal incentives, spending about $20,000 to install a 2kW solar panel system doesn’t sit well with many Americans, especially in the middle of a recession. Many people just simply can’t afford it.
In an effort to increase solar energy use by addressing costs, aesthetics and other challenges that may keep consumers at bay, solar energy solutions provider Applied Solar Inc. (APSO.OB) today announced it has kicked off its Solar Communities program in San Diego County.
Through a series of open house tours, Applied Solar will not only educate consumers of the importance of renewable energy, but will also offer financing for San Diego County homeowners through power purchase agreements (PPAs). Through Applied Solar’s Solar Communities program, homeowners pay only a portion of the
