Newsletter out. Solar3D presenting at Cowen and Company conference May 27-28 should be seeing $5+ today. Coverage soon would be even nice!!
Yup Sunworks has a Nevada Facebook page as of 1 hr ago...very good news!!
I got ONE good reason we aren't back to Pre RS split prices and its clear as day. Solar3d has yet to announce any good news. Any questions?
How much revenue is Jackson Family Winery expected to produce. Was completed in November 2014. Didn't i hear JN in a recent interview say they charge 30k for an average residential install. An average resi install is about 5-7kw id guess from experience.
Anyhow 3MW is 3000kw. Thats a very large amount of revenue...depending on how JFW is paying for it or if its a lease...anybody know the financials regarding JFW.
They started working on JFW in Q3 and completed in Q4. Maybe that's why Q3 numbers lower than Q2.
Anyhow we sitting at about 15M revenue first 3Q's. Means all we need is 4.5-5.5M to hit our target JN recently announced of 19.5-20.5. It seems we will exceed that expectation with JFW completion.
Tim is the glass half full or half empty is the question.
Call and ask your broker it does lock shares from shorts in Etrade. And lets be real i set mine to 20 and could of set it higher. If it jumps to 20 overnight and is plus 650% ill be stoked and waiting for a dip lol. U really think mark setting a high sell limit 6-10 times high than price will be an issue?
Breaking down each of 6 Vivint customer reviews. Coming from someone who installed solar since 2004 and also a certified electrician in california i can break down each of those complaints and explain what happened.
They sound legit and since im bored ill break each one down and tell u what happened.
1. The 79 panel job. Thats a huge residential job at 250 watts a panel. Probably multiple arrays (means its split up on many roof surfaces) adding wiring and conduit complexity. Also means they possibly exceeded maximum backfeed amperage on main buss of electrical panel now needing a line side tap or MPU (Main panel upgrade) which with a feeder upgrade can be extremely costly. My guess they either cant figure out the wiring and did a horrible install or can't pass inspection either embarrassing.
2. Customer with inspection delays and very odd monitoring system. It doesn't take long to learn what your AHJ's (inspectors) require. Every one is different and u should have an AHJ database telling you the odd/different requirements for that particular AHJ if you don't know. Some can legitimately be a pain in the ass, but get it together nobody likes delays it is already a long process. Sounds like they aren't keeping the customer informed of the delays..re-design followed by re-permitting can take days or weeks. The monitoring has to be a joke. .sounds like u monitor it yourself? Other companies connect to your router a device that shows production and stores lifetime production online. You also can not turn off a system from Utah lol...its not wireless maybe the monitoring but not the system. Would be kinda cool if u could though haha. And yes you can turn your system on the minutes the installation team leaves quite often but it is legally not allowed on until inspection by AHJ and also utility. Can sometimes really piss utility co. off as they want to ensure a proper backfeed is being provided safely into their grid.
3. Customer in March signed up Utility says system cant be turned on due to too many panels. Exactly what i was just talking about. Only allowed to install 20% of the main buss size of amperage for backfeed, example would be 200 amp panel can have a max 40 amp breaker and about 7.5kw system. 400 amp panel 80 amps 15kw. Sometimes u can do a load side or line side tap and bypass the bussing that can only be done on certain electrical panels...i suspect not this panel and they will need to do a MPU which is very costly and if feeders are underground u often have to tear up homeowners yard and dig a new trench from panel to utility box. Utility don't rly like solar we are stealing their business. If you don't know what your doing they will hand you your ass.
4. Customer R of CA. Again problems with passing inspection with AHJ. in this situation you have an upset customer who is being delayed. Painting the conduit is very easy. Even if homeowner doesn't have paint or its old, installers are trained to find a paint match on property. .never had a problem making it happen. Especially for an angry customer.
5. its likely this customer has an odd or fragile roof surface or an obstacle they don't want to tackle that involves too much liability and are scared to be a professional and tell them the truth.
6. Another example of horrible customer service and running someone's credit without approval is wow..sounds like a salesman lol.
I can tell by reading these and having experienced nearly all of these situations with much shorter delays obviously...that these are real complaints. This is what VIVINT customer service is. If your system design, install, and inspection goes smooth congratulations. If not you are Fuc**d and will go through the gauntlet to get your system working and may even start being charged your monthly lease bill.
that is all from an installers point of view have a good night.

Thats a whole lot of money for this small company. They obviously don't need operating expenses if Sunworks is profitable.
The dilution was obviously for more acquisitions or manufacturing. If it was acquisition why would he need money so quickly wouldn't he have to wait for deal to finalize before needing that kind of money.
Why didn't they issue a PR about uplisting? It is great news to be on the NASDAQ regardless of what happens today.
Dont look at your account will give you a heart attack. Maybe the 4 has something to do with Uplisting minimum. My etrade dropped my funds to a $4 lvl but glitches back to regular amount..
Etrade try clicking on SLTDD in portfolio says doesnt exist :)
Nasdaq link. http://archive.fast-edgar.com//20150303/AKKZG22CZ22HL9Z2222P2ZZLBAIPZZ223E72/
Towards bottom says march 4.
Got my smart alert from Etrade at 10:30pm pacific time. Saying my new number of shares and new ticker of SLTDD. Porfolio still not correct but believe will adjust in morning.
When i called etrade earlier this morning she said i would get a smart alert email when the new shares were authorized so should be an open battlefield tomorrow.
Your not alone Etrade still locked up. Have a long number instead of my ticker symbol in my portfolio. .
At 6.40 up roughly 30-35% since RS..not bad JN wont let it drop too low without at least clairifying the delay of the close of MD
Yup its showing green with the up arrow they are ready for us on the Nasdaq
Im guilty of having a few too many but it really is feeling i have. Been waiting so long so patiently for this gold mine
This is one busy page for a sunday! I feel like I've been putting in months or years of time and patience with a beautiful girl and I'm about to reap the benefits lol.
NYSE or NASDAQ what would be a goof reason to go for NYSE over NASDAQ?
Sherpa u have a good point. Wouldn't uplist without really good news otherwise would risk sinking back down. I'm calling staggering numbers for Q4 with excellent guidance for 2015. Hoping for a plethora of good news. If they announce a cell and say they are going to make a 400+ watt residential panel ill fall off my chair.
Call me crazy I'm going to guess SLTD has a 400-500+ watt panel. Right now 260 watt panels are the norm for canadian solar and trina
Ive worked in the PV field since 2004. Invest in what you know right?
Exactly. 2015 looks very good. Uplisting, more media attention, safer investment in NASDAQ, institutions more likely to buy, low float. Not to mention MD Energy, expansion into Nevada likely, manufacturing partner, cell specs, growth of Sunworks.
Also installation companies do alot of training and often improve efficiency, installation methods, and lower install costs over time.
whats not to like?
Yea i see where u are coming from. But i believe we were #1 by a landslide. Scty was in top ten and were -6%...we were 1 with +500% . So if there 1 or 2 on this list that are not accurate im ok w it. The point is we were number 1 and are this year currently.
idc about number 46 i care about #1
Solar3D quietly #1 performing solar stock of 2014 and #1 in 2015 currently. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&ei=PFHzVJSvNs60ogTxpICIDg&url=http://www.solarplaza.com/article/top-10-worlds-best-performing-pv-stocks-in&ved=0CB0QFjAA&usg=AFQjCNE07UBjdTK7E2ZczvynD4hMQflbEQ
Guess JN realized a Monday morning PR may help keep this locomotive in motion.
First time in Vegas and we are 7.77??? And i have 400k+ shares im stoked like a slot machine i hope i dont lose my profit but w so much pending news id be a fool to sell.
Sunworks close was announced Jan 31st after market. I remember i was sitting on the toliet at Home Depot 1:05 pm pacific time lol! It will close by end of month.
We know JN likes to cluster news together. Its coming and holding well for no news yet this month. Going to Vegas next weekend for first time. Lets hope for a lucky week next week!
To .05 cause your 4 hr chart says so. Genius ! Im selling all my shares now thanks for the heads up.
Exactly and while this PR seemed like fluff to anxious investors, it is more focused towards the customers. It is a perk for the customer's which means more business which is good for all.
Its always nice when a small company can offer the same as the big dawgs and is also nice to see them constantly following in solarcitys footsteps yet adding their own creativity.
Took me 15 seconds to read. Ill work on making sure my punctuation and grammar is correct when using a cell phone in the future. I'm not on here to impress people or be a big shot.
Ofcourse cell news is the golden egg..but would be nice to see acquisition complete as the sunworks acquisition didnt spike pps last January but it started a chain of events that brought the pps up. And heck we get alot of news here JN very good about updates and hasn't let us down (besides this long awaited cell, which i believe is coming) the MD acquisition will give us more news and I'm sure they are waiting to announce some new projects
Last yr when they announced Sunworks completion price didn't go up Immediately was baked in..hoping this time is different
Sunworks new radio add on 105.1 country station in Sacramento is a good one. They've had one but this new one is better. Tom who has his own radio show on the station pumps Sunworks as he go a Sunworks system. Good publicity its a very popular station and good for those country homes that have land for ground mounts too
Yes i believe he does have that set up and also don't know what the term is referred to as.
Its not an insider selling a bulk amount of shares. ..i didnt even look at this recent transaction and am not worried about it. If u followed sltd u would know JN and a few others have sold and then the pps went way up..i wouldn't worry about insider selling unless it a larger percentage of what the insider holds. Especially with SLTD track record of going UP after inside sales and large pullbacks.
I would be buying at this price now selling..
Sunpower subs the work out. Its not Sunworks. I wish it was. They do all Lennar tracks in the Sacramento area. I used to install for Sunpower and installed majority of installs in the early phase of WestPark. I believe they sub out to Sonray Construction currently. Sunpower makes money off providing the panels aswell.
2nd annual National "Shout out for Solar" Day is tomorrow January 16th #GoSolar hopefully it is is a positive day for us!
RNN has nowhere near the potential and is not comparable..we have a CEO that delivers
Was thinking same thing. It's a small portion of his fortune.
