Go Solar Power For Homes

If you are a home owner, or a stock broker, investing in solar power for homes is a great thing to do. I don’t say that merely because it’s clean, so it’s smart, hip, cool and your children will love you for it (all of which are probably true).

Investing in solar power for homes is a great thing to do because it makes great economic sense. If you don’t believe me, look at the markets. As a sign of how well an industry is doing, it makes sense to see which of the big investment banks are spending money and where.

Fidelity Investments is the world’s biggest investment manager. Fidelity manages more than $1 trillion of investments. One trillion!

It’s fair to say that their fund managers know what they are doing. They don’t mess around. They are like heat seeking missiles in search of profit.

Encouraging hearing therefore that Fidelity is heavily investing in solar power for homes. When Fidelity recently sent five of its top money managers to a solar power for homes conference in Spain, they didn’t do so because they’ve suddenly become eco-warriors. They clearly have solar power for homes on their profit-radar.

Colin Stone, manager of Fidelity’s top-performing European Opportunities fund, told us, “We have a high degree of confidence that solar will hit grid parity by 2011 in Spain.” So, he’s saying that by 2011, Spain’s clean energy will cost the same or less than traditional fossil fuel based energy.  How good is that!

Fidelity are in Europe because, if you want to invest in the most advanced solar power for homes companies, then you go to the cutting edge of the solar power for homes industry. You go to Germany, Denmark and Spain. You invest in the industry’s global leaders.

If you are Fidelity, you are not on a campaign. You invest where the financial prospects are brightest. If you are Fidelity, you invest in Germany’s Q-Cells, in Denmark’s Vestas, and others. It’s reassuring therefore to know that Fidelity are all over this market.

Here, the solar power for homes industry is being aided by government. Particularly in Germany, the state is supporting free market economics by granting huge subsidies, giving solar power for homes a massive jump-start.

Solar power for homes and industry already accounts for 15% of Germany’s overall usage. This is an increase of 11% in a mere eight years. It is hoped and expected that Germany will be using 100% clean energy by 2030.

Thanks to the German government enforcement of feed-in tariffs, households and businesses that create an excess of solar power for homes and industry can sell that  solar power for homes and industry back to their national grid at more than three times the market price.

So with support from major investors like Fidelity and national governments, it is clear that the future is bright. The future is going solar power for homes!
