August 18, 2010 (Investorideas.com renewable energy/green newswire) Investorideas.com a leading global investor and industry portal covering the green and renewable energy sector release a sector close-up on solar stock for trading August 18th following upgrades by Barclays Capital analyst Vishal Shah.

Analyst Comment by Vishal Shah at Barclays Capital
http://pulse.alacra.com/

Barclays Capital analyst Vishal Shah this morning raised his ratings on both ReneSola (SOL) and Trina Solar (TSL) to Overweight from Equal Weight, asserting that the Street is too bearish on expectations for the solar industry for 2011. Shah says solar stocks appear to be discounting a scenario of flat industry shipments in 2011 along with a module ASP decline of over 15%. But he thinks industry volumes will actually grow at least 20%, with ASP declines in line with expectations. He sees demand for next year at 16 GW, well above the Street consensus at 13.7 GW
