Excellent news. Just what we've been waiting for.
Excellent, decent trading today. Still awaiting news. Fingers crossed we get something this week.
I still own this stock
Holding nicely today, seller seems to have let up, not its time to move back up, over .20 shouldnt be too hard with news.
News is near, that is the rumor
That would be nice, looking forward to a great week. News has be be around the corner than I can see a move over .20. GLTY
Maybe it wont be that bad. Share structure isnt bad and all debt is leaving the holding company which owns stock. Insiders still own 30% right? Maybe someone will buy this shell and put better assets into it. And we will all come out winners.
Trying to put a positive spin.
Wow oh wow, this sux, what can the shareholders do but try and sell on the bounce when it hits a penny. AIMO
But who really knows till Monday.
Not looking too bad now, .137x.14
Yep I added .13, but this selling is unreal. Shouldnt be happening. Not sure how to explain this.
Some big blocks going through on the sell side, but someone is also picking them up. I have more bids in at .13 just in case i get lucky
700k volume traded so far today. News is close IMO. Should have news on the $100 million projects in the works. Grab a few and hang on for the ride. AIMO
FRGB is halted for some reason
Im wondering the same thing???
Hoping to see this make a move, didn't really happen today thus far, hold for a few day i guess. GLTY
Guess im gonna have to buy more FRGB, going to bid .59 see what i can get
Yes looking dim, but Im ok holding for a day or two unless it gets real bad.
Energy Conversion Devices and Enfinity Corporation Announce Plans to Co-Develop 10 Megawatts of Rooftop Solar Projects in Ontario, Canada
ROCHESTER HILLS, Mich., and OTTAWA -- Energy Conversion Devices, Inc. (ECD) (Nasdaq: ENER) and Enfinity Corporation today announced plans to collaborate on the development of a 10MW portfolio of rooftop solar installations in Ontario, Canada.
ECD and Enfinity will partner to co-develop a series of rooftop solar projects throughout Ontario, Canada under the province's new feed-in-tariff program. The companies expect to complete construction of approximately 10MW of projects during calendar 2010. ECD, through its wholly owned subsidiary, United Solar Ovonic, will provide a combination of UNI-SOLAR® photovoltaic laminates and its new PowerTilt™ product for the projects.
The rooftop installations will be on a number of different roofing materials, and ECD's new PowerTilt product is particularly well-suited for the Ontario market given its easy installation on any roof type, light weight, and higher energy production. ECD will also provide development equity during the construction phase of the projects.
Enfinity will lead the rooftop acquisition from its Ottawa office, and will arrange construction debt and take-out equity financing for the projects. Upon commercial operation, the projects portfolio will be sold to the permanent equity owners.
Mark Morelli, ECD's president and CEO, said, "We are pleased to announce this expanding partnership with Enfinity with the collaboration on this Ontario portfolio. Since announcing the Framework Agreement with Enfinity last year, thus far we have partnered on nearly 6MW of projects in Belgium and France that are being supplied by our roofing materials channel partners. This co-development approach in Ontario is a further example of our demand-creation strategy where we will partner on solar projects that have attractive rates of return for project investors. The Ontario Power Authority has demonstrated an impressive commitment to the promotion of renewable energy development and ECD intends to be a major player in the province in the years to come."
"We consider ECD to be one of our key global partners, and together we are moving quickly on this co-development effort," explained Rafael Dobrzynski, CEO of Enfinity Corp. "The feed-in-tariff structure in Ontario rewards investors with higher incentives for distributed rooftop solar and it is the objective of Enfinity to finance and develop projects that produce steady, predictable power for stable and secure investments. The UNI-SOLAR laminates are ideal, having proven capable of meeting our performance requirements given the environmental and climate variables of this region."

EMCORE Corporation Awarded Solar Panel Manufacturing Contract From ATK Space Systems
Contract Awarded for NASA's Orion Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV) Project
ALBUQUERQUE, NM -- (Marketwire) -- 01/27/10 -- EMCORE Corporation (NASDAQ: EMKR), a leading provider of compound semiconductor-based components, systems and subsystems for the fiber optic and solar power markets, announced today that the Company has been awarded a contract by ATK Space Systems of Goleta, California to manufacture, test, and deliver solar panels for ATK's UltraFlex? solar arrays. These solar arrays will be used to power the Orion spacecraft being developed by Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company for NASA. The period of performance for this contract for the first two vehicles runs through 2013 and is valued in the range of $9-$11 million. The flight solar array system is expendable for each Orion mission and continuous production is expected to run through 2020 and beyond.
The Orion crew exploration vehicle (CEV) program will serve as NASA's next generation human space transportation system. This vehicle is intended to replace the current Space Shuttle and will provide human space flight systems capable of transferring astronauts to and from the International Space Station (ISS), the Moon and other destinations within the solar system. NASA expects to order multiple Orion Constellation vehicles over the next decade.
EMCORE's latest generation ZTJ triple-junction solar cells will be designed into the solar panels delivered to ATK Space Systems. With a sunlight-to-electricity conversion efficiency of 30%, the ZTJ solar cell is the highest performance space qualified multi-junction solar cell available in the industry world today. Production of the solar panels will take place at EMCORE's state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities located in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
"We are very excited to be using the EMCORE ZTJ triple junction solar cells in the ATK Ultraflex? solar array design," said Dave Messner, Vice President and General Manager of ATK's Solar Array and Deployables site based in Goleta, California. "The ATK UltraFlex? solar array design will be providing 14kW of power per shipset with superior performance characteristics and mission enabling features, including ultra-lightweight, high strength, high stiffness, and compact stowage volume. The EMCORE solution will enable ATK to provide the UltraFlex? solar array configured for Orion so that it will provide over twenty times the strength and ten times the stiffness of our conventional rigid panel solar arrays, at less than one-third the weight."
Christopher Larocca, Chief Operating Officer of EMCORE, stated, "This CEV program represents a significant award for EMCORE. The solar panels for this program will provide the critical power needs required for the next phase of NASA's human exploration program. We have enjoyed a long-term relationship with ATK Space Systems and look forward to partnering with them on this exciting program."
EMCORE is the world's largest manufacturer of highly efficient radiation hard solar cells for space power applications. With a beginning-of-life (BOL) conversion efficiency of 30%, EMCORE's industry leading multi-junction solar cells can provide the highest power to interplanetary spacecraft and earth orbiting satellites.
