class=\"wp-block-heading\">Without forced theft from the poor, Sunnova (and others in the solar industry) might disappear<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bloomberg writers call it \u201cchaos\u201d and Barrons blames Trump for \u201cuncertainty\u201d, but the truth is the value of solar was always a false bubble held up by forced payments, fantasy, or vicarious political whimsy that spread the costs onto other people. Trump has merely restored the certainty of real value in the free market. He hasn\u2019t banned a single person from buying solar panels, it\u2019s just that not many people want to spend their money on glass panels that make green expensive electrons. They don\u2019t want to spend money on \u201ccheap electricity\u201d that only comes at lunchtime either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 70% fall in the stock price is just the last few days since Sunnova officially warned it might not be a \u201cgoing concern\u201d. The longer term figures are&nbsp;<em>much<\/em>&nbsp;worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On November 4th, when some investors though the word-salad-woman might win, the share price briefly spiked to $7. Right now it is 58 cents, meaning it has lost 92 percent of its value since Trump won the election. The entire $12 mini-boom peak in September last year, arguably, was a bet that Kamala-grift would be worth something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sunnova has $3 billion in assets (allegedly) and employs 1,200 people\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sunnova\">according to Wik<\/a>i.

That came less than a week after First Solar Inc., the biggest US solar manufacturer, said it was seeing increasing customer delays. And it was also on the heels of Sunrun Inc., the biggest US residential solar company, saying it expects installation volumes to be flat this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The US solar industry is in the midst of the biggest reckoning it\u2019s faced since going mainstream more than a decade ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Solar had been viewed as a crucial answer for dealing with rising electric demand while capping global emissions\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Analysts have been lowering their home solar installation projections in 2025 after installs fell by nearly&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.md\/o\/XZukx\/https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/terminal\/SQWMWIDWX2PS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">20%<\/a>&nbsp;in 2024. And meanwhile, the Trump administration and Congress are considering moving to cut the tax credits that Sunnova and others have counted on to generate cash. That\u2019s on top of a federal freeze of loans and grants that were aided by Biden\u2019s signature climate law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s all the fault of the \u201cuncertain regulatory policies\u201d \u2014 even though Trump is dead set certain he will not subsidize these things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What they mean to say is Donald Trump has turned off the tap, and the solar panels weren\u2019t worth buying if other people didn\u2019t pay:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sunnova Energy Stock Sinks as the Company Warns It Might Go Out of Business.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barrons.com\/articles\/lockheed-stock-defense-buys-036b3c6e\">&nbsp;\u2018The Overall Environment Is Terrible.\u2019<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Barrons<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rooftop solar industry has struggled lately, because fewer people are installing solar panels due to high interest rates and unfavorable or uncertain regulatory policies. As of December, energy-data firm Wood Mackenzie said 2024 U.S. installations were on track to fall 26% from the year before. The Trump administration\u2019s policies have only added more uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe overall environment is terrible,\u201d said Sunnova CEO John Berger on a conference call with analysts. \u201cI mean, it\u2019s the political environment, the capital markets\u2014look at the equity trading off. And so, that just gets everybody in a very bad mood, candidly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/au.finance.yahoo.com\/news\/solar-installer-sunnova-races-raise-162920674.html\">Yahoo Finance blames high interest rates<\/a>&nbsp;as if the long artificially low interest rates, set by a government appointed politburo-style-committee, weren\u2019t just another sort of subsidy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Much of the industry\u2019s turbulence can be traced to high interest rates and uncertainty about the future of the Inflation Reduction Act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Solar installers have benefited in the past from low interest rates, which make solar loans and leasing attractive to consumers. By spreading the cost of rooftop solar over many years, consumers don\u2019t have to pay up front and often save relative to their monthly utility bills. But as rates have risen, it can take longer for consumers to benefit financially.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the policy front, the Inflation Reduction Act&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2022\/08\/16\/winners-losers-abound-as-inflation-reduction-act-becomes-law\/\">extended tax credits<\/a>&nbsp;that were set to expire at the end of last year. The new credits run through 2032, though the Trump administration has vowed to unravel the law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s one of the best kept secrets of modern civilization, that low interest rates steal from long term savers and subsidize speculators and borrowers (rich people). The central bankers force institutions to charge low rates, lots of people borrow money, which increases the money supply hunting for things in the same limited pool of goods. In turn, that creates inflation and steals the purchasing power from every dollar \u2014 from children and grandparents alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bloomberg writers think Trump creates chaos, but the truth is that the whole fake market in solar has been one gigantic bubble. At one point in early 2021, Sunnova shares were selling for $53.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">REFERENCE<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/home\/20250302530009\/en\/Sunnova-Reports-Fourth-Quarter-and-Full-Year-2024-Financial-Results\">Sunnova Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Financial Results<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Photo:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:P%C3%A1nov_(Hodon%C3%ADn)_after_2021_South_Moravia_tornado_strike_(04).jpg\">Tade\u00e1\u0161 Bednarz<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bloomberg writers call it \u201cchaos\u201d and Barrons blames Trump for \u201cuncertainty\u201d, but the truth is the value of solar was always a false bubble held up by forced payments, fantasy, or vicarious political whimsy that spread the costs onto other people.
