3/12 - "Emcore's industry leading multi-junction solar cells enable a new class of high power communications satellite for direct to home broadcasts and advanced satellite services. These advanced solar cells have also been adapted for use in terrestrial concentrator applications and have attained conversion efficiencies in excess of 37%. These products will make possible cost competitive concentrating photovoltaic systems for use in utility scale solar power stations and other distributed energy applications...What sets the company ahead of the silicon-based competitors is its use of compo...
With extensive experience in the development of, and an economical approach to the use of high efficiency solar cells, EMKR could be looking at a very bright future indeed.
EMKR BUY @ 10.04 - Emcore is a semiconductor company that has run into a little bit of trouble. Accounting for pesky stock option grants has long been despised in the technology world. Well apparently EMKR didn't get the memo that is was a regulatory mandate to comply with. The great news is EMKR looks to be compliant with the SEC and the NASDAQ in October '07. Shares of Emcore have been on a tear in the last two weeks. It was up 15.8 percent for the week of Sept 21. During that week, EMKR was upgraded by an analyst to "Market Perform". Finally, EMKR is set to report earnings which co...
Discloser - Got stopped out of EMKR at 10 but have not got back in yet With the recent problems with the SEC, the increase in purchases of large scale thermal solar plants, and the probable pull back on green technologies I am changing my rating to a hold. For those of you that are watching solar but are not sure where or when, I still think EMKR is a great company to watch. They make really efficient cells and because of their size they are less susceptible to volatile silicon prices. Also, their other contracts with governmental organizations, such as NASA, could put them in a good po...
Emcore makes among other things solar cells. Quote from website:
"These advanced solar cells have also been adapted for use in terrestrial concentrator applications and have attained conversion efficiencies in excess of 36%."
current efficiencies:
typical solar panels (i.e. Sunpower) 12-19%
thin film 9%
They are currently trading at a PE between 9-10 which compared to other solar plays is extremely reasonable. They have been making solar cells for satellites but realized that the current terrestrial solar industry could be a great market to g...
