Sunny Days Ahead for Solar Industry – Equity Research on First Solar and JA Solar

HONG KONG, March 2 /PRNewswire/ – Today, www.WorldStreetFundamentals.com released its report highlighting solar leaders First Solar, Inc.
(NASDAQ:FSLR) and JA Solar Holdings Co., Ltd. (NASDAQ: JASO). Industry
analysts are calling for grid parity as early as 2012. Investors from
around the world are invited to view fundamental and technical analysis
at www.WorldStreetFundamentals.com.  

Technological advances in manufacturing, economies of scale, and
increased efficiency of photovoltaic products continues to drive
decreasing costs and prices within the solar industry. Grid parity, the
point at which alternative renewable electricity is at least as cheap
as grid power, is already a reality in some states. First Solar is
estimated to have achieved close to grid-parity results on its Boulder
City project, developed for Sempra Generation, with estimates under
$0.10 per kilowatt hour. Costs were amortized over the anticipated
life-span of the installation to derive this estimate.

Market demand for solar energy has experienced steady growth over the
past 20 years, averaging +30% growth year over year. The introduction
of grid parity is expected to increase demand moving well into 2020.
Industry experts have coined a new phrase, “accelerated exponential
growth”, whereby the rate of growth increases exponentially.
“Accelerated Exponential Growth is a very real possibility, as
consumers presented with a no-cost choice of fossil fuel versus clean
renewable energy, will often opt for the later.” 

World Street Fundamentals has highlighted First Solar Inc. for its
recent strategic acquisition of RayTracker, an efficient single-axis
tracking system developer. The acquisition introduces a new customer
base and brings quality additions to its engineering, procurement and
construction team. To read the report on First Solar Inc. (NASDAQ:
FSLR), visit www.WorldStreetFundamentals.com. 

JA Solar Holdings is a globally diversified manufacturer of
high-performance solar cells based in People’s Republic of China,
primarily dealing on a B2B basis. Despite strong earnings above analyst
expectations, investors appear to be reacting negatively to reported
margins in fourth-quarter results, which fell below its historic 20%
baseline.
