Three Sixty Solar Ltd. (VSOL:NEO; VSOLF:OTC) announced in a press release that it had received its first purchase order for the installation of a solar tower worth six figures by Rocky Mountain Log and Timber (RMLT), located in Hamilton, Montana. The company also reported a few other highlights, including signing a letter of intent with RMLT agreeing to install the solar tower, and the finalization of the purchase order.
RMLT is a construction company that specializes in building log homes in the northwestern United States, and their operations demand quite a bit of energy. The company reported that the installation of a solar tower is intended to lighten the company’s energy burden.
According to Jake Hayes, the owner of RMLT, “We are looking for ways to add renewable energy to power our operations and to offer to our customers. We’re also excited that we will be able to include the Hook’d Broadband technology with this tower and that we can offer a connectivity solution to our clients on future projects. We are pleased to be working with Three Sixty and look forward to breaking ground in the spring.”
Brian Roth, the CEO of Three Sixty Solar, commented “I’m excited to be working with Jake and Rocky Mountain on our first installation in the United States. This first purchase order is an important milestone in our commercialization process and I’m proud of everyone who has worked so hard to get us o this point.”
Solar Trending Up After Supply Squeeze
CNET reported on the solar market in June of 2023, which it reports experienced an upward push at the beginning of 2023. The report stated that interest in solar energy has been fueled, in part, by renewable energy incentives from the Inflation Reduction Act, but that there was also a backlog of solar installations as supplies experienced a squeeze that let up this year. According to CNET, Florida led the way in the commercial market, which saw an installation total of 391 megawatts.
Utility Dive also examined the market for solar panels, and concluded that things had improved for solar following the increase in available supplies. A major holdup for solar panels from China was the concern that components had been constructed in violation of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act. However, now that the market has improved, things are looking bullish.
A Very Strong Buy
Clive Maund reviewed the company on May 23, 2023, and rated the company as a “very strong buy.” Maund cited several factors in the company’s stock patterns, including a funding effort that removed pressure on the stock, and a patent on a solar panel tower. According to Maund, “the key point to note about the heavy drop that has brought the price back into a zone of strong support at earlier lows is that it was on a much lighter volume than the two big rallies this year.” Maund continued, “This is clearly bullish and explains the overall impressive strength shown by the Accumulation line, which has held up well on the recent drop.”
