The Paragon Report Provides Equity Research on SatCon Technology & A123 Systems
(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 01/17/12 -- Renewable energy stocks have struggled immensely in the past year, with several companies facing margin squeezes due to overcapacity and plunging prices caused by a surge in manufacturing and competition from low-cost producers in China and other countries. To add to the sector's turmoil, the U.S. Department of Energy recently warned that supply constraints could hike costs for several alternative energy firms. The Paragon Report examines investing opportunities in the Alternative Energy Sector and provides equity research on SatCon Technology Corporation (NASDAQ: SATC) and A123 Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: AONE).

The clean tech industry could face potential hurdles in the coming years, as a limited supply of the rare earth metals used to build wind turbines, electric vehicles, solar cells and energy-efficient lighting could raise costs. The substances -- dysprosium, terbium, europium, neodymium and yttrium -- face potential shortages until 2015, according to a report from the US Department of Energy (DOE), which reiterates concerns identified a year ago.
"While these materials are generally used in low volumes relative to other resources, the anticipated deployment of clean-energy technologies could substantially increase worldwide demand," the report said.

A123 Systems, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, engages in the design, development, manufacture, and sale of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries and battery systems worldwide. Earlier this month the company announced that it will supply complete lithium ion battery packs to VIA Motors, an electric vehicle company building next-generation electrified trucks, vans and SUVs.
"VIA plans to ramp up production significantly over the next three years to satisfy demand for clean, fuel-efficient full-size trucks and SUVs," said Kraig Higginson, CEO of VIA Motors. "We selected A123's Nanophosphate lithium ion battery systems because they are able to package higher power into a compact space in the vehicle."
