U.S. Data Center Power Use Could Account For As Much As 12% Of Total U.S Electricity Consumption; Data Center Power Demand Could Nearly Triple By 2028

Enphase Energy, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ENPH#NASDAQ">ENPH</a>) shares are trading higher today. The company introduced its new North American Charging Standard (NACS) connectors for<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/08/g40249721/enphase-energy-introduces-nacs-connectors-for-iq-ev-chargers-in-the-united-states-and-canada" rel="noreferrer noopener"> its entire IQ EV Charger lineup</a>.
These NACS connectors have recently become the industry standard, gaining acceptance from several major electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers.
Notably, Enphase introduced its IQ EV Chargers last year with J1772 connectors. The new IQ EV Chargers, now featuring NACS connectors, will enhance vehicle compatibility while retaining all existing features.
Enphase IQ EV Chargers with NACS connectors are compatible with NACS-enabled EVs.
John Black, owner of Black Platinum Solar &amp; Electric, an installer of Enphase products in Arizona said, &#8220;The IQ 80 EV Charger is the highest power NACS charger in the market that we&#8217;re aware of, and the reliability and 5-year warranty make it a great long-term investment.&#8221;
&#8220;The fact that homeowners can charge from Enphase solar energy systems is great for customers looking to better manage their electricity bills and reduce charging from fossil fuels. It&#8217;s not just about charging; it&#8217;s about enhancing the entire EV experience.&#8221;
Last month, Enphase Energy missed analyst estimates on the top and bottom lines, with Q2 revenue of&nbsp;$303.46 million vs.&nbsp;estimates of $309.67 million and EPS of&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/07/39934603/whats-going-on-with-enphase-energy-stock-wednesday" rel="noreferrer noopener">$0.43 vs. estimates of $0.48</a>.

Enphase Boosts EV Charger Game with NACS Connectors For IQ EV Chargers, Says Compatible With Tesla

SolarEdge Technologies, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEDG#NASDAQ">SEDG</a>) shares are trading lower after it reported&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/08/b40232435/solaredge-announces-second-quarter-2024-financial-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">second-quarter&nbsp;FY24 results</a>.
Revenues of&nbsp;$265.4 million, beating the consensus of&nbsp;$262.3 million. Revenues from the solar segment stood at&nbsp;$241.2 million, down&nbsp;75% Y/Y, in the quarter.
Adjusted gross margin&nbsp;was 0.2% versus 32.7%&nbsp;in the prior year quarter. Adjusted operating loss stood at&nbsp;$114.3&nbsp;million versus an adjusted operating income of&nbsp;$191.0 million&nbsp;in the same quarter last year.
Adjusted EPS loss of&nbsp;$1.79&nbsp;missed<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener"> the consensus loss of&nbsp;$1.58</a>.
Operating cash flow was negative&nbsp;$44.8&nbsp;million in the quarter. As of June 30, 2024, cash, cash equivalents, bank deposits, restricted bank deposits, and marketable securities&nbsp;totaled&nbsp;$165.3&nbsp;million, net of debt.
In the&nbsp;second quarter&nbsp;of 2024, the company bought back 247,468 shares worth around&nbsp;$17 million.
Outlook: For&nbsp;the&nbsp;third quarter, the company sees revenue of&nbsp;$260 million-$290 million (vs.&nbsp;consensus of&nbsp;$359.93 million), revenues from the solar segment of&nbsp;$245 million-$280 million, and adjusted gross margin <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">of&nbsp;negative 3% to positive 1%</a>.
Zvi Lando, Chief Executive Officer of SolarEdge said, &#8220;While we expect undershipping to continue in the third quarter, we believe the momentum in our underlying business and the actions we are taking to gain market share and address new growth segments will enable a return to higher revenue levels once inventories are cleared in the first half of 2025.&#8221;

Solar Industry Headwinds Hit SolarEdge Hard: Q2 Results Disappoint

The Biden administration&#8217;s doubling of the U.S. tariff on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/05/39030415/why-first-solar-is-a-must-watch-stock-in-the-ai-era">Chinese solar panels </a>is key to protecting the domestic market from China&#8217;s predatory behavior, says Mark Widmar, CEO of First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSLR#NASDAQ">FSLR</a>).
First Solar is expected to report second-quarter earnings after Tuesday&#8217;s market close, more than two months after the Biden administration announced that the tariff on Chinese solar panels would increase to 50%.
&#8220;What we&#8217;re trying to do is make sure that we have a level playing field so that all U.S. companies who manufacture here in the U.S. have an opportunity to compete on their own merits,&#8221; Widmar said on Monday during an <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/first-solar-ceo-mark-widmar-latest-us-tariffs-on-china-creates-level-playing-field/vi-BB1qPATo">interview</a> with CNBC.
&#8220;This is just one of many tools that&#8217;s already part of the overall policy environment that we think is instrumental to ensure that there&#8217;s a level playing field and there&#8217;s opportunities for cycles of innovation to happen here in the U.S. and ultimately support of long term energy independence and security.&#8221;
China is flooding solar panel markets in the U.S. and other countries with less expensive panels because it has an oversupply that is four times the demand in its own country, he said.

&#8220;Right now, they&#8217;re dumping that product into international markets and doing that is creating an unfair competitive advantage and devastating others that are trying to compete and create self-sufficiency around this emerging technology that we think we need here in the U.S. and other markets,&#8221; Widmar said.
&#8220;Someone has to step back and reflect upon what China&#8217;s predatory behavior is doing.&#8221;
The U.S. has a bloated inventory of more than 30 gigawatts of solar panels, in great part due to China &#8220;dumping&#8221; solar panels into the U.S. market, Widmar said.
Beijing is trying to correct China&#8217;s oversupply of solar panels, but it should not do that at the expense of other countries, he added.
&#8220;Our view is if China wants to destroy its own industry let it do that on their own accord,&#8221; Widmar said.
&#8220;Let&#8217;s not paint that into the U.S. market.&#8221;

What's Going On With Enphase Energy Stock Today?

U.S. solar manufacturers are prodding the Biden administration to toughen the rules on a law that gives a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39776035/solar-stocks-tumble-following-failed-assassination-of-trump-whats-going-on">10% tax credit </a>solar project developers who use materials made in the U.S.A.
The administration sought to encourage investment in clean energy and deter reliance on Chinese goods through the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, which requires that 40% of the cost of a developer&#8217;s materials comes from U.S.-manufactured solar products.
But the Solar Energy Manufacturers for America Coalition (SEMA) said developers can reach that 40% requirement just by buying U.S.-made mounting racks and inverters, and then purchasing the solar panels overseas, Reuters reported.

SEMA also said the situation undermines the administration&#8217;s goals of building a robust solar supply chain to compete with China because solar panels are more difficult and expensive to produce than the other components.
Price Action: Solar panel manufacturers trended downward by Wednesday&#8217;s late-morning trading.
Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ENPH#NASDAQ">ENPH</a>) declined 4.36% to $111.10, while Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RUN#NASDAQ">RUN</a>) dipped 2.49% to $16.85.
Exchange-traded funds that hold shares of Enphase, which has the largest market capitalization of $17.1 billion, <a href="https://www.forbes.com/advisor/investing/best-solar-power-stocks/">according </a>to Forbes Advisor, also fell by late morning on Wednesday.
Invesco Solar ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAN#NYSE">TAN</a>) fell 3.06% as Global X Solar ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RAYS#NASDAQ">RAYS</a>) declined 1.60% and Virtus Duff &amp; Phelps Clean Energy ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VCLN#NYSE">VCLN</a>) dropped 1.18%.

Solar Makers Push Biden To Tighten Tax Credit For US-Made Panels

SolarEdge Technologies, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEDG#NASDAQ">SEDG</a>) shares are trading lower after the company disclosed a decision to lay off 400 <a target="_blank" href="https://investors.solaredge.com/static-files/84905633-3fc4-46e7-9b3b-1e7094bfb9dd" rel="noreferrer noopener">employees</a>.
The company stated that 200 of these job cuts are in Israel. The action involves reducing headcount and discretionary spending across all departments.
The company stated that the market downturn at the end of 2023 and early 2024 led to excess inventory in their distribution channels, temporarily lowering sales volumes as inventory clears.
In January this year, the company disclosed trimming&nbsp;16%&nbsp;of the workforce to lower operating expenses and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/36712158" rel="noreferrer noopener">align its cost structure to&nbsp;current market dynamics.</a>
SolarEdge&#8217;s business is further impacted by the slower-than-expected growth in Europe&#8217;s solar industry, which has created significant uncertainty and variability in PV installation rates across different countries.
In North America, the company said it is beginning to see some slight growth in installation rates.
Last week, the company announced significant milestones in its U.S. manufacturing strategy, spurred by incentives from <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/07/b39727964/solaredge-marks-milestones-in-u-s-manufacturing-strategy-achieving-targeted-inverter-production-le" rel="noreferrer noopener">the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)</a>.
SolarEdge said that it has created approximately 1,500 new jobs at its Texas and Florida manufacturing facilities, with the expectation to increase this number to around 1,750 by the end of 2024.

SolarEdge Cuts 400 More Jobs In 2024: Navigating Market Woes And Inventory Challenges

Global electricity generation still relies, mostly, on coal and gas. However, the sector&#8217;s growth rate in 2023 wasn&#8217;t close to that of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/renewable-energy">wind and solar</a>.
That&#8217;s according to <a href="https://ember-climate.org/insights/research/global-electricity-review-2024/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the latest Global Electricity Review</a>, published May 9 by UK-based climate think tank Ember. 
Fossil fuel generation will fall in 2024 and subsequent years, the nonprofit predicts.
Whereas, the rate of solar adoption — the fastest-growing source of electricity in 2023 for the 19th year in a row — will continue to accelerate. 
Per Ember&#8217;s data, solar generation growth was more than 23%, far more than new electricity from fossil (0.8% growth) and wind (10%). See below.

The results bode well for the planet. NASA predicts Earth will see the global average temperature reach or exceed 3 degrees Fahrenheit within the next few decades.
&#8220;These changes will affect all regions of Earth,&#8221; the agency <a href="https://science.nasa.gov/climate-change/effects/">says</a>. &#8220;The severity of effects caused by climate change will depend on the path of future human activities.&#8221;
Well, countries are slowly, but surely, adopting clean energy. In 2000, renewable energy (i.e. solar and wind) made up less than 19% of the global energy mix. Today, they make up more than 30%.

About 40% of the world&#8217;s electricity was derived from low-carbon sources, including nuclear energy, in 2023.
Fossil fuels are on the decline. They generated 64.7% of the world&#8217;s energy back in 2000; 60.6% in 2023; and are projected to generate 57.6% in 2024, Ember reports.
The International Energy Agency&#8216;s Net Zero Emissions goal has a global target of 60% renewable electricity by 2030.

Solar Is Leaving Wind In The Dust As World Renewable Energy Hits New High

One of the largest office buildings in the world is going solar, a move that could help provide a boost in interest<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/solar-stocks"> in solar stocks.</a>
What Happened: While clean energy continues to be a topic among politicians, investors and analysts, the sector saw declines over the past year with<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/23/12/36138172/solar-energy-broke-records-in-2023-why-are-shares-tumbling"> solar stocks getting hit hard.</a>
Recent news involving the Pentagon, which is one of the world's largest office buildings, could put a spotlight on solar and cost savings.
The U.S. Department of Defense is set to install rooftop solar panels for the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., as part of a new clean energy plan from the Biden administration, as reported by <a href="https://electrek.co/2024/01/18/the-pentagon-one-of-the-worlds-largest-buildings-is-getting-rooftop-solar/">Electrek</a>.
The new plan hopes to "reestablish the federal government as a sustainability leader."
Along with the rooftop solar panels, the Pentagon is also installing solar thermal panels and a heat-recovery heat pump system.
According to the report, the new solar initiatives could help the Pentagon see an annual cost reduction of $1.36 million.
The Pentagon, which is more than 6.6 million square feet, will have 95% of space heating and hot water heating powered by solar initiatives.
"By rethinking how we generate, distribute, and use energy, DoD is making our installations more resilient, better securing our critical infrastructure, and saving money — a win for warfighters and taxpayers alike," Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks said.
Electrek notes that Jimmy Carter had solar water panels installed on the White House when he was President. Ronald Reagan later had them removed when he was president.

Why It's Important: The U.S. Department of Energy's Assisting Federal Facilities with Energy Conservation Technologies (AFFECT) program will see 31 federal facilities receive $104 million in grants for clean energy projects, including the Pentagon.
While no companies have been named to work with the Pentagon on the solar energy initiative at this time, the sector could see a lift from the attention and more federal government projects involving solar.
Here's a look at some of the top solar stocks and their one-year price change:
First Solar Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSLR#NASDAQ">FSLR</a>): -13%
SunPower Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPWR#NASDAQ">SPWR</a>): -82%
SolarEdge Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEDG#NASDAQ">SEDG</a>): -76%
Sunrun Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RUN#NASDAQ">RUN</a>): -50%
Enphase Energy Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ENPH#NASDAQ">ENPH</a>): -54%
Solar ETFs have also fallen sharply over the past year with the Invesco Solar ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAN#NYSE">TAN</a>) down 45% and the Global X Solar ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RAYS#NASDAQ">RAYS</a>) down 48%.
Known best for its electric vehicles, Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) is also a leading solar company and could be one to watch with increased attention put on the sector. The company deployed 49 MW of solar in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/23/10/35318136/tesla-q3-earnings-highlights-revenue-miss-eps-miss-cybertruck-launch-set-for-november-and-more">the third quarter.</a>
Tesla is exploring ways to use its solar panels to help other countries <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/04/32091804/can-tesla-solar-help-low-income-housing-new-european-test-will-find-out">and low-income housing</a>. The company could look to take advantage of a surge in demand for solar initiatives from the U.S. government. 
While the Biden administration and Tesla CEO Elon Musk haven't always been friendly, the company is still one to watch for increased solar deployment in the country.

Raystream Inc.(OTCBB: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/rays#OTCBB">RAYS</a>), a global High Definition video compression
services company, is entering a 30-day evaluation period with IPTV video
streaming company, ZooVision, based in Kalamazoo, Mich., which offers

“ZooVision is changing the way people use their smart phones and connected TVs
to access entertainment. Through this evaluation period, Raystream will
demonstrate how our proprietary High Definition video compression tools will
reduce the size of ZooVision's HD video files by an average of 70 percent.
That reduction will allow Raystream to drastically decrease ZooVision's
bandwidth and data storage costs,” says Raystream CEO Brian Petersen. “Because
Raystream's HD video compression solution shrinks HD video files without
losing the pristine image quality or deep color saturation associated with
high def, ZooVision subscribers will see the sharp, beautiful videos they
expect.

ZooVision Enters Smart Start Evaluation Agreement with Raystream™ Inc.

“We are delighted to announce that Grencomm will be using Raysteam's HD video compression solution. Not only will Grencomm be able to significantly decrease bandwidth costs while delivering a far better viewing experience to its large and rapidly growing international RUSH TV audience, but the clarity of the HD video images will remain exceptionally clear,” said Brian Petersen, Raystream's CEO.

RAYSTREAM Mentioned as Pump & Dump by Geoinvesting

Shares of Raysteam (OTC: RAYS.OB), a maker of video compression technology, are up almost 9% today despite <a href="http://thestreetsweeper.org/undersurveillance/RAYS_of_Sunshine_____or_Clouds_of_Doom_">a piece by TheStreetSweeper</a> highlighting the fact that the open-source software sold by the Texas-based company is substantially available elsewhere for free and a string of questionable endorsements of the stock from compensated parties.

Previously, Raystream CEO Brian Peterson proudly declared that the company's “disruptive technology could forever alter the way business is done online.” Peterson's announcement further explained that this “proprietary” technology “could reduce the bandwidth required to stream HD video online by up to 70%,” TheStreetSweeper <a href="http://thestreetsweeper.org/undersurveillance/RAYS_of_Sunshine_____or_Clouds_of_Doom_">reported</a>.

The report details a relationship between Raystream and a company called Unlimited Trade that promoted the stock. Unlimited Trade owns 5 million shares of Raystream and paid millions for a promotional campaign designed to increase the value of those shares, according to TheStreetSweeper.

Also dubious is Raystream's $89 million market value at the time of the piece, but that comes with just $200 in revenue, TheStreetSweeper reported. 

In addition to Unlimited Trade, several other sources were compensated for touting Raystream, including Stock Market Authority, which received $150,000 for issuing bullish calls on the stock, according to TheStreetSweeper. Calls and an email to Raystream were not returned, TheStreetSweeper notes in its piece.

솔라엣지 테크놀로지스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEDG#NASDAQ">SEDG</a>)의 주가는 회사가 400명의 <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEDG#NASDAQ">직원</a>을 해고하기로 한 결정을 공개한 후 월요일 급락했다.
이 회사는 이러한 감원 중 200명이 이스라엘에서 발생한다고 밝혔다. 이 조치에는 모든 부서의 인원수와 재량 지출을 줄이는 것이 포함된다.
이 회사는 2023년 말과 2024년 초에 시장의 하락으로 인해 유통 채널에서 재고 초과가 생겼으며, 재고가 소진되는 동안 매출량이 일시적으로 감소한 것으로 밝혀졌다고 설명했다.
올해 1월에 이 회사는 운영 비용을 낮추고 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/36712158" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">비용 구조를 현재 시장 역학에 맞춰 조정</a>하기 위해 인력의 16%를 삭감했다고 공개했다.
솔라엣지의 비즈니스는 유럽 태양광 산업의 예상보다 느린 성장으로 인해 더욱 큰 영향을 받고 있으며, 이로 인해 여러 국가들에서 PV 설치율에 상당한 불확실성과 변동성이 발생했다.
북미에서는 설치율이 약간 증가하기 시작했다고 이 회사가 밝혔다.
지난주 이 회사는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/07/b39727964/solaredge-marks-milestones-in-u-s-manufacturing-strategy-achieving-targeted-inverter-production-le" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">2022년 인플레이션 감소법(IRA)</a>의 인센티브에 힘입어 미국 제조 전략의 중요한 이정표를 발표했다.
솔라엣지는 텍사스와 플로리다 제조 시설에서 약 1,500개의 새로운 일자리를 창출했으며 2024년 말까지 이 숫자를 약 1,750개로 늘릴 것으로 예상한다고 밝혔다.
