☆ My homeowner nightmare

The moment I saw I had an email from my solar company, I knew my nightmare was about to take another unsettling turn. But he didn't know any more than I did about how much longer my solar panels would remain useless. Meanwhile, my solar panels have been sitting on my roof for four months, entirely unused, taunting me from above. AdvertisementI also reached out to California's Contractors State License Board, which regulates solar companies, asking what recourse SunPower's customers had. But it seems ludicrous to buy a solar system that I had no intention of buying in the first place.

Iran fired hundreds of ballistic missiles and drones at Israel in retaliation for an attack on an Iranian diplomatic facility in Syria. The global economy is entering a "dangerous time" like never before as Middle East tensions remain elevated, said S&P Global's vice chairman Daniel Yergin. When asked if the global economy is on the precipice of another supply shock resulting from Middle East tensions, Yergin said it's a precarious time for markets. "The betting is that the Israelis would not attack, try to attack, the nuclear facilities at this time. It is a strategically important waterway linking crude producers in the Middle East with key markets across the world.

July 26 (Reuters) - Solar inverter maker Enphase Energy (ENPH.O) forecast third-quarter revenue below Wall Street estimates on weak demand in the United States, sending its shares down 13.4% in extended trading on Thursday. U.S. demand growth has been tepid as cheaper electricity prices in states like Texas and Arizona make the economics of residential solar less attractive. In the U.S., the solar market has also taken a hit from the Federal Reserve's aggressive tightening that has increased borrowing costs for consumers. The coastal state accounts for nearly a third of the U.S. residential solar market. Enphase reported an adjusted profit of $1.47 per share for the quarter ended June 30, beating estimates of $1.25.

The deal builds out Exxon's plan to develop an emerging market that makes money from reducing its own and others' greenhouse gases. Carbon sequestration is the favored strategy for U.S. oil and gas companies to reduce emissions while continuing to expand oil and gas production. Last year, Exxon struck its first commercial carbon storage deal with top ammonia maker CF Industries. The Denbury deal "reflects our determination to profitably grow our low carbon solutions business," Exxon CEO Darren Woods said in a statement.

Thus, we look at the recent underperformance in SunPower shares as a buying opportunity."

The Esso Fawley Oil Refinery, operated by Exxon Mobil, stands in Fawley, U.K., on Thursday, May 14, 2020. The surprise output cut by OPEC and its allies sent oil prices rallying — and analysts say major oil importers like India, Japan and South Korea will feel the most pain if prices hit $100 per barrel, as some have predicted. On Sunday, OPEC+ announced a production cut of 1.16 million barrels per day, in a move that oil markets were not expecting. "It's a tax on every oil importing economy," said Pavel Molchanov, managing director of private investment bank Raymond James. The voluntary cuts by countries in the oil cartel are set to start in May and last till the end of 2023.

Raymond James says there's a "textbook buy-on-the-dip opportunity" for shares of Clean Energy Fuels — it could be a volatile ride for investors. The firm upgraded Clean Energy to outperform from market perform. It set a price target of $6 per share, which implies 42.8% upside from Wednesday's close price. Analyst Pavel Molchanov thinks the renewable energy company could see gains as natural gas fuels, including those derived from biogas, play a role in the decarbonization of fleets.

The Inflation Reduction Act's tax credits will likely prompt surging demand for solar power in the U.S., according to Goldman Sachs. The law included a 30% credit toward the installation of solar panels or other equipment that harnesses renewable energy. Because of this, he recommends solar stocks that broadly play to supply chain diversification and onshoring trends while also having strong business fundamentals. First Solar , meanwhile, should specifically benefit from the push to expand domestic renewable energy capacity, Singer said.
