Modern Global Policies Impel Companies to Turn to Renewable Energy

FinancialBuzz.com News Commentary

NEW YORK, Feb. 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Non-renewable resources are used heavily in applications such as transportation, power, heat, and even production. These resources, such as coal and petroleum, are limited in supply and continuous use will eventually deplete them. In recent times, however, the growing use of non-renewable energy has drawn attention towards the environment, which has prompted national governments to adopt more clean energy laws. In addition, the increasing awareness of environmental safety and sustainability are expected to propel the industry growth as well. However, the high costs associated with manufacturing renewable energy products is hindering the market. Despite these costs, government initiatives have given steady funding over time, providing many companies with an attractive business opportunity. According to data compiled by Allied Market Research, the global renewable energy market was valued at USD 1.46 Trillion in 2017 and is expected to reach USD 2.15 Trillion by 2025. Additionally, the market is expected to witness a CAGR of 4.9% throughout the forecast period from 2017 to 2025. SinglePoint Inc. (OTC: SING), ReneSola Ltd (NYSE: SOL), Real Goods Solar, Inc. (OTC: RGSE), Sky Solar Holdings, Ltd. (NASDAQ: SKYS), Sunworks, Inc. (NASDAQ: SUNW)

The hydro and ocean power segment accounted for 63% of the market share in 2017 and is expected to hold the largest share until 2025. However, the solar energy segment is expected to witness the fastest CAGR of 13.4% during the same period. Solar power is primarily harnessed through panels which store the energy for future use. Specifically, consumers and businesses are using solar energy to power their facilities, homes, and even transportation. The renewable energy is becoming increasingly popular because of its low cost and environmental efficiency. According to Energy Sage, solar energy costs approximately USD 0.029 cents per kilowatt as opposed to USD 0.05 cents per kilowatt for fossil fuels. "It may be, too, that we can overcome the seeming physical limitations of solar power and make it into the world's primary electricity generating source," said Andrew Sendy, Chairman of Solar Investments Inc, according to Solar Estimate, "For now, solar continues to be integrated into our everyday lives — the lawn mower, the flashlight, the rechargeable power tool, the commute, our homes. Researchers even are developing clear, photovoltaic windows. When it comes to solar, nothing is surprising—and, in fact, we have integrated it into our lives already."

SinglePoint Inc. (OTC: SING) announced breaking news that, "it has signed an asset purchase agreement to acquire Direct Solar and AI Live Transfers.  The two companies are providing what has been described as the Lending Tree Model for solar business. With the proposal of The Green New Deal solar is at the forefront of every conversation and will continue to be top of mind as the nation grows through an 'energy shift' to renewable resources such as solar.

According to Zion Market Research the global Solar Panel Market accounted for USD 30.8 Billion in 2016 and is expected to reach USD 57.3 billion by 2022 growing at a CAGR of 10.9% between 2017 and 2022.

Direct Solar has been on a hockey stick growth pattern. In the past twelve months the company has surpassed $1,500,000* in revenue with approximately 60% gross margins. In February 2019 the company generated approximately $321,230*. Direct Solar and SinglePoint estimate the four quarters following the closing of the acquisition will result in just over $8,230,000 in sales. This is based on numbers that have already been achieved without marketing budget available to the company. The following year two projections have the company turning a profit of $2,844,288 on revenues of approximately $14,000,000.

Total installed U.S. PV capacity is expected to more than double over the next five years, and by 2023, over 14 GW of PV capacity will be installed annually. This represents a major opportunity for SinglePoint and Direct Solar to exponentially grow and establish a leadership role within the new segment of the burgeoning solar industry.

The asset purchase agreement has been signed and upon the completion of the audit the transaction will be completed. SinglePoint plans to start recognition of these revenues around the end of April. "This is a phenomenal opportunity for SinglePoint. This changes the entire financial fundamentals for the company and enables us to continue to push forward with opportunities to continue increasing shareholder value and the overall value of SinglePoint". Wil Ralston, President, SinglePoint Inc.

Directly Solar is able to move into every state quickly and efficiently because of the proprietary online education technology the company has developed. SinglePoint plans to utilize this edge to pitch Cannabis businesses on the opportunity to save money and increase margins through lowering the cost of utilities through the use of Solar.
