SATC Satcon Technology Corp. (MM)

The U.S. is once again the global leader in private financing and investment in clean energy according to a recent report released by Pew Charitable Trusts. In 2011, the U.S. attracted $48 billion in clean energy investment. Despite large investment in the industry, clean energy stocks in the U.S. have plummeted. The PowerShares WilderHill Clean Energy ETF (PBW) is down more than 47% over the last year. Five Star Equities examines the outlook for companies in the Alternative Energy Sector and provides equity research on Power One Inc. (NASDAQ: PWER) and SatCon Technology Corp. (NASDAQ: SATC).

"In 2011, the global clean energy sector grew again, the U.S. reclaimed its lead as the top destination for private investment, and consumers reaped the rewards of significantly reduced prices for clean energy technologies, such as solar panels, which are now nearly 50 percent cheaper than a year ago," said Phyllis Cuttino, director of Pew's Clean Energy Program. "And yet, the yo-yo effect of U.S. clean energy policy hurts the ability of the United States to consistently compete and turn U.S.-led innovation into manufacturing, deployment, and export opportunities. Creative, stable and transparent policies remain a critical signal to private investors."
