/>Vivint Solar Is About to Go Public
HTML http://www.nexbay.com/sun_shining_solar_panel_hg_clr.gif
SustainableBusiness.com News
After watching SolarCity's (Nasdaq: SCTY) stock soar 368% since
its IPO, other solar leasing firms are salivating on the
prospects of joining in.
Although it doesn't capture the news the way SCTY does, Vivint
Solar has quickly become the second biggest US solar installer,
and announced its upcoming IPO.
Parent company Vivint, Inc. is spining off Vivint Solar,
offering 20.6 million shares for $16-$18 each, with a goal of
raising about 380 million - and a $1.79 billion market cap. It
will be on the NY Stock Exchange, under the ticker VSLR.
HTML http://solartribune.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/vivint-solar1.jpg
Last year, Vivint actually out-raised SolarCity in solar leasing
funds with $780 million compared to $665 million. Started in
2011, solar is a new business for Vivint, which is the largest
home automation services company in North America. It's been
able to grow so quickly by selling solar to an existing base of
675,000 customers. Blackstone Group bought them in 2012 for a
cool $2 billion.
HTML http://enphase.com/eblog/files/VivintSolar7.jpg
According to Vivint's SEC filing, the company has installed 130
megawatts of solar at about 22,000 homes in seven states ;D,
and raised nine investment funds. Growth is picking up speed,
with installations in the first half of 2014 almost equal to the
entire previous year (58 MW), and up from just 14 MW in 2012.
Vivent posted a profit this year, with revenues of $10 million
for the first six months, compared to a loss of $20 million last
year. It will use the IPO proceeds to grow the business and to
repay its $78 million debt.
HTML http://www.pv-magazine.com/fileadmin/PVI_website_pictures/Vivint_image_HQ.Vivint.jpg
In just two years, Vivint Solar has grabbed 9% of the market,
but it will be hard to catch up to SolarCity's 29% share,
especially with its plans for a solar gigafactory.
And while SolarCity operates across much of the US, Vivint is
in just seven states - California, Hawaii, Massachusetts, NY,
NJ, Maryland and now, Arizona. Surprisingly, Vivint goes
door-to-door to get sales, which requires a large sales force
and may be one reason why it's so concentrated geographically.
Besides SolarCity and Vivint, the top US solar installers are
SunRun, SunPower (Nasdaq: SPWR) and Sun Edison (NYSE: SUNE).
Will SunRun be next?

SolarCity Debuts Bonds For Individual Investors
HTML http://elqahera-trading.com/home/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/dollar-sign-thumbnail1.jpg<br
/>
SustainableBusiness.com News
Want to invest in SolarCity's projects and earn interest?
Open to everyone, SolarCity (NASDAQ:SCTY) is issuing the first
retail solar bond in the US, a $200 million bond offering backed
by its vast solar portfolio.
The minimum investment is just $1000 and depending on the
maturity date you choose - which ranges from 1-7 years - you
earn 2-4% interest.
HTML http://elqahera-trading.com/home/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/dollar-sign-thumbnail1.jpg<br
/>
It's "a simple way for individuals across the United States to
earn attractive returns on their investments while also
participating in the nation's transformation to clean energy,"
they say.
SolarCity Bonds
As you know, SolarCity receives monthly payments from its solar
leases. Bond holders will receive interest from that income.
This is the first of "fairly continuous offerings," they say.
The bond will be used to finance more leased solar systems,
complementing the $5 billion its raised from banks and
corporations like Google.
SolarCity is among a handful of corporations that have issued
green bonds - its $300 million bond (for institutional
investors) was the first in the solar industry.
Last month, SolarCity started construction of its solar
gigafactory in Buffalo, New York. Its located in the High-Tech
Manufacturing Innovation Hub at SUNY's College of Nanoscale
Science and Engineering.
The state is investing $750 million for construction in exchange
for SolarCity's 10-year lease and investment of $5 billion to
run the facility. To raise working capital and funds for
acquisitions, the company is issuing $500 million in convertible
notes due in 2019.
Investors can buy shares directly at SolarCity's new investment
website without paying any fees:

HyperSolar Achieves Breakthrough in Hydrogen Separation Process
:o ;D

/>Develops Novel System Architecture to Efficiently Separate and
Produce Pure Hydrogen From Sunlight and Water

SANTA BARBARA, CA--(Marketwired - Oct 21, 2014) - HyperSolar,
Inc. (OTCQB: HYSR), the developer of a breakthrough technology
to produce renewable hydrogen using sunlight and water, today
announced that the Company has achieved a significant
technological milestone in its pursuit of clean hydrogen fuel
production, by eliminating an expensive hydrogen-oxygen
separation process. This will dramatically reduce the overall
system cost of hydrogen fuel production from sunlight.
HTML http://www.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/3-141113185850.gif
Self-contained sunlight driven water-splitting technology, also
commonly referred to as "artificial photosynthesis," typically
produces hydrogen and oxygen gas bubbles in the same reactor.
This hydrogen-oxygen gas mixture is potentially explosive and
must be quickly separated from each other. Current gas
separation technology uses selective membranes and is very
expensive and the membranes need to frequently be replaced.
HyperSolar has developed a novel reactor design and system
architecture that uses a high voltage solar cell, that can be
wrapped in the company's patent pending polymer coating, that
serves two functions:
(1) convert sunlight into electricity to split water into
hydrogen on one side, and oxygen on the other side, and
(2) acts as a physical barrier preventing oxygen from combining
with hydrogen. The respective hydrogen and oxygen gas bubbles to
the top of the reactor as two separate and pure gas streams.
This novel design circumvents the need for membrane separators
all together.
"Artificial photosynthesis and the concept of separating
hydrogen from oxygen has been linked to having great 'potential'
for some time," said Tim Young, CEO of HyperSolar. "With this
novel reactor design, we believe that we are much closer to
eliminating the aspects of the hydrogen production process which
many have considered unsafe, costly and inefficient. This
breakthrough will support our ultimate goal of cost-effectively
producing hydrogen fuel at or near the point of distribution,
for use in both consumer and industrial industry sectors."
HyperSolar's technology is based on the concept of developing a
low-cost, submersible hydrogen production particle that can
split water molecules using sunlight without any other external
systems or resources -- acting as artificial photosynthesis. A
video of an early proof-of-concept prototype can be viewed at
HTML http://hypersolar.com/application.php.
HyperSolar is currently funding a sponsored research agreement
with UCSB to further the development of its renewable hydrogen
technology.

Energy Efficiency and Renewables Are Lowest Risk/Cost
Investments for Utilities
HTML http://elqahera-trading.com/home/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/dollar-sign-thumbnail1.jpg<br
/>
HTML http://www.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/3-200714183515.bmp
Sheryl Carter, NRDC
December 02, 2014 | 2 Comments
A new report by utility and finance experts contains positive
news for the environment, our air and our (and our utilities’)
pocketbooks — the economics of electric power resources have
made zero-emissions energy efficiency and renewable energy
technologies the most financially attractive options to meet the
nation’s future energy demands.
The report by the nonprofit organization Ceres, entitled
“Practicing Risk-Aware Electricity Regulation: 2014 Update,”
says energy efficiency, distributed (onsite) energy, and
renewable energy (whose costs, in some cases, have come down
dramatically since 2012) are enticing investments for utilities
because they bring lower risks and will cost less than
traditional energy sources used to generate electricity.
And almost without exception, the report says the investments
that could cause the most financial harm for utilities,
ratepayers, and investors are large base-load fossil fuel and
nuclear plants, which are riskier and more expensive.
“The report's risk profiles make clear that energy efficiency is
the cheapest, safest investment by far, followed by wind and
solar energy technologies whose costs have dropped dramatically
the past two years," says Ceres President Mindy Lubber.
We already knew that energy efficiency — aka smarter use of
energy — is the cheapest, most abundant investment out there, as
I noted recently in discussing the International Energy Agency
(IEA) Energy Efficiency Market Report 2014 that demonstrated the
global savings from energy efficiency are greater than the
output from any other single fuel source — including coal, oil,
nuclear, and gas. Meanwhile, the first national limits on power
plant carbon pollution will increase energy efficiency, which
will reduce the cost of compliance.
But as Ronald Binz, one of the authors of the new Ceres report,
says, “the dramatic decline in the costs of renewable energy,
especially utility-scale solar,” represents a major development
that could have far-reaching consequences.
The changing economic landscape combined with the pending EPA
power plant standards to reduce carbon pollution, does not mean
change will come overnight or that there will be any let-up by
the supporters of coal and nuclear power. But the trend line is
positive and strongly suggests that the old ways of doing
business for utilities and state regulators are no longer as
viable as they once were, and in fact carry significant
financial risk.
The latest findings by Ceres, a nonprofit organization that
seeks to mobilize business an investor leaders on climate
change, reaffirms the conclusions and recommendations in its
2012 report, “Practicing Risk-Aware Electricity Regulation: What
Every State Regulator Needs to Know,” that discussed the aging
power plant fleets, evolving technologies and regulations for
climate change, and the changing nature of the risks that these
challenges present for utilities, customers and shareholders.
The Latest Findings
In examining the conditions facing today's electric power
industry, the new report cites a number of salient facts and
reached some important conclusions that should be heeded by the
utility industry as its plans how to address the nation’s energy
needs, including:
•There is a clear and durable imperative for clean energy in the
United States, driven by advancing technology, federal air
quality rules, and the lower cost and risk profile of renewable
and demand-side energy resources. Renewable energy technology
costs have fallen sharply, closing the cost gap between
renewable resources and traditional fossil fuel resources. Solar
photovoltaic energy costs, in particular, have declined
precipitously in recent years while wind and solar costs are
expected to continue to fall through at least 2020, a
characteristic not shared by other generation technologies.
•Utility business models conversations are shifting from a
simple “cost of service” approach to consideration of one that
expands utility service offerings and capabilities in light of
carbon reduction goals, grid resilience needs, and customer
engagement imperatives. This transformation is already happening
to a degree that seemed unthinkable just a few years ago.
•Distributed energy resources — that is smaller power sources
like demand response (when customers alter their electricity use
at certain times of the day), storage, and distributed
generation, that can be aggregated to provide energy necessary
to meet regular demand — will play an increasingly important
role in the 21st century electricity system. As states grapple
with this reality, they must begin to plan for a much more
complicated system that includes new technologies and varied
sources of energy.
The bottom line, as the report clearly suggests, is that the
trend toward low-carbon energy resources, including energy
efficiency and renewable energy, is unmistakable. ;D
When we don’t need to generate as much electricity and/or use
zero-emissions resources, we reduce the amount of
climate-altering pollution belching into our air and harming our
health. In short, as the report notes, “There is a clear and
durable imperative for clean energy in the U.S.” that is being
driven by new technologies, more favorable economics, stricter
federal air quality rules, and consumer demand.

Thank you, Sheryl Carter.
The welcome dissemination of common sense in the energy sector,
with this news that Energy Efficiency and Renewables Are Lowest
Risk/Cost Investments for Utilities, is laudable in this epoch
of the lack of common sense in the service of profit over planet
by the dirty energy 'industry'.

[center]SunEdison Seeks $700 Million IPO for New Emerging
Markets Yieldco [/center]
Ehren Goossens, Bloomberg
May 07, 2015
NEW YORK -- SunEdison Inc. is seeking as much as $700 million in
an initial public offering of a unit investing in wind, solar
and hydro projects in emerging markets, the first of its kind.
This year’s best-performing U.S. solar company filed Thursday to
list the so-called yieldco after buying 757 megawatts of
renewable-energy assets in Brazil, China, India and other
developing nations. The company also acquired rights of first
offer to buy other projects with 1,918 megawatts of capacity.
The TerraForm Global Inc. yieldco will own and operate the
power-generation assets in high-growth emerging markets, the
Maryland Heights, Missouri-based company said Thursday in a
statement. Yieldcos allow developers to raise lower-cost capital
by selling projects to fund additional ones, while offering
attractive returns to shareholders.
The new company gives SunEdison “a separate vehicle with a very
different risk profile” and a more “global breadth” than its
already listed TerraForm Power Inc. yieldco, Jeffrey Osborne,
analyst at Cowen & Co. in New York said by e-mail.
“It allows them to accelerate the cash collection from the
projects that have been built and are sitting on the balance
sheet,” he said.
Renewable energy companies like NRG Energy Inc. and Abengoa SA
have listed similar units, mainly holding assets in the U.S.
Most recently SunPower Corp. and First Solar Inc. said in
February that they’ll form a joint yieldco.
HTML http://renewablerevolution.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/3-280917164227.png<br
/>
SunEdison has been working to develop projects in emerging
economies for more than five years and now has in place a
presence that allows them to finance projects at lower costs
than locals, Cheif Executive Officer Ahmad Chatila said.
‘Strong Engine’
“We have a strong engine for projects in emerging markets,” he
said in an interview. “The cost of capital is the biggest
challenge for renewable energy everywhere but especially so in
emerging markets.”
JPMorgan Chase & Co., Barclays Plc, Citigroup Inc. and Morgan
Stanley are acting as joint bookrunners for the offering.
SunEdison’s asset purchase also include projects in Peru, South
Africa and Uruguay, the company said. Terms weren’t disclosed
and the transactions are expected to close by the third quarter.
The acquisitions are the first stage of SunEdison’s plan to
capitalize on providing renewable power to fast-growing emerging
markets, Chatila said in the statement.
SunEdison jumped 8.8 percent to $27.01 at 11:57 a.m. in New York
after rising as much as 9.9 percent, the biggest intraday gain
since Nov. 18. The shares are up 38 percent this year, the most
of any U.S. solar company.
The company also said it secured a total of $362 million in
financing from Terraform Global’s joint bookrunners to buy
renewable energy projects. SunEdison has obtained $175 million
of equity investments from Blackstone Group, Everstream
Opportunities Fund II and Altai Capital Management.

SustainableBusiness.com News
With investors loving solar again on the public markets, the
only major US solar installer that's still private will soon
launch an IPO - and that's Sunrun.
According to its SEC filing, it plans to raise at least $100
million under the ticker, RUN.

HTML http://www.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/3-200714183515.bmp
Like SolarCity and Vivint, Sunrun installs solar at no upfront
cost and instead, collects fixed monthly fees via long term
contracts. Unlike its competitors, Sunrun is dedicated to
residential installations and has 75,000 customers in 13 states.
Founded in 2007, Sunrun reported revenue of $198.6 million for
2014, almost quadruple that of the previous year ($54.7
million). Soaring expenses, however, still produced a net loss
of $167.5 million, up from $66 million in 2013, according to the
SEC filing.
Since it only has about $105 million in cash on hand, Sunrun
needs to go public this year or find other sources of financing.
It has raised $265 million in venture capital over the years.
We're surprised to see that while SolarCity has many more
customers (218,000), Sunrun is ahead on revenue. Sunrun's total
installations come to 430 megawatts, compared to SolarCity's 500
MW in 2014 alone, estimated to reach 1 gigawatt for this year,
as it moves forward on its new microgrid-as-a-service.
Revenue 2014
Sunrun: $198 million
SolarCity: $163 million
Vivint Solar: $25 million
Net Income 2014
Sunrun: -$167.5 million
SolarCity: -$55.8 million
Vivint Solar: -$28.88 million

It plans to raise $1.1 billion in the IPO with shares in the
$19-$21 range.
Its first yieldco, TerraForm Power, (Nasdaq: TERP) will contain
most of SunEdison's operating renewable energy portfolio, while
TerraForm Global focuses on emerging markets: India, China,
South Africa, Nicaragua, Honduras, Costa Rica, Thailand,
Malaysia, Uruguay, Brazil, Chile and Peru.
The portfolio includes mostly solar and wind, and some
hydropower in Brazil and Peru - a total of 1.4 GW, producing
$235 million in cash for distribution by the end of next year,
says SunEdison.
TerraForm Global recently raised $175 million for financing
projects in emerging growth markets.
Since TerraForm Power went public exactly a year ago, it's up
48% with a dividend yield of 3.3%.
