Reuters Tesla and a few other clean-energy stocks are top picks at Goldman Sachs.
Electric-car maker Tesla Motors Inc. is a Goldman Sachs top stock pick in green energy, a sector in the spotlight this week as climate-change talks begin and the world’s wealthiest people pledge to invest in clean technologies.
Electric and hybrid cars, LED light bulbs, and solar and wind power are reshaping global industries and presenting investors with a new opportunity, the Goldman analysts said in a note Monday. The market is worth $600 billion, the investment bank said.
Investing in such industries will be a “high risk/high reward” proposition, but staying out of the field entirely is “increasingly risky” for investors, the Goldman analysts said. Companies that made Goldman’s list enjoy competitive advantages and are geographically diversified, they said.
The note was published as world leaders gathered in Paris to discuss climate change, and as dozens of the world’s most powerful people — including Microsoft Corp. MSFT, +0.78% co-founder Bill Gates, Alibaba Group BABA, +3.32% Chairman Jack Ma, financier George Soros, Facebook Inc. FB, -1.15% co-founder and Chief Executive Zuckerberg, and Amazon.com Inc. AMZN, -1.26% founder and Chief Executive Jeff Bezos — have pledged to invest billions of dollars in clean-energy research.

Bill Gates is launching a multi-billion-dollar initiative to accelerate clean-energy research and development. Without incentives to go green, he says “India will generally err on the side of development.”
Tesla TSLA, -0.58% battery power packs “are key to Tesla’s growth,” the Goldman analysts said. The electric-car maker has halved the unit cost of its packs, with costs expected to drop further to about $150 a kilowatt/hour once Tesla’s “gigafactory” is fully running.
“In contrast, Tesla’s competitors use (lithium ion) batteries that are expected to cost $250/kWh in 2020,” Goldman said. Tesla expects its battery factory, under construction outside Reno, Nev., to begin cell production in 2017.
Semiconductor company SolarEdge Technologies Inc. SEDG, +2.88% , which makes inverters that improve the efficiency of solar panels, has doubled its volume year-on-year, and Goldman expects it to remain on this path. Along with gaining more market share, SolarEdge is also diversifying customer base, adding more customers outside the U.S.
Among wind-power turbine makers, Goldman highlighted Vestas Wind Systems VWS, +1.41% , the leading player in the sector, and a “key beneficiary of strong volume growth.”
Specialty chemicals producer Albermale Corp. ALB, +0.85% has both access to raw materials and the technology needed to turn out value-added battery-grade materials, while LED lighting maker Acuity Brands Inc. AYI, -0.31% is likely to benefit from emerging Internet of Things applications where LED lights command higher prices and margins, according to Goldman.
Solar and wind power are a $200 billion market, the bank’s analysts said. They projected sales of electric and hybrid vehicles to grow to $88 billion by 2020 and to $244 billion by 2025, from $12 billion in 2015.
It’s no coincidence that green cars, power and lighting are at the forefront of a low-carbon economy, the team noted. Power generation and transportation account for more than half of energy-related carbon-dioxide emissions, and lighting consumes 15% to 20% of electricity.
In contrast, other low-carbon technologies, such as nuclear and hydro-power generation, biofuels, and fuel-cell vehicles, either lack the scale or the momentum to drive change, Goldman said.
SAN JOSE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Pacific Gas and Electric Co. (PG&E) announced at today’s We Day California event a $250,000 sponsorship that will provide sustainable energy project opportunities for several local high schools. Students will build portable solar units, share their commitment to sustainability by participating in local projects and have a chance to make a global impact.
The solar suitcase is a small, portable photovoltaic lighting system, powerful enough to illuminate a small room. PG&E will provide 100 solar suitcase units to high schools throughout Northern and Central California, supplied by the nonprofit Green Tech. The schools who receive the solar suitcases will be trained by Green Tech on assembly of the portable kits and will learn firsthand the basic principles of clean energy technical education.
“PG&E is a champion of education, providing nearly $70 million to local schools throughout Northern and Central California over the last decade. By pairing that commitment with our focus on clean energy sources like solar, we can help educate students and inspire them to create lasting and sustainable action,” said Chris Johns, president of PG&E.
Encouraging students to “act locally and think globally,” PG&E’s program includes a local community service sustainable activity component as well as an international opportunity. Part of the program involves students’ participation in local sustainability projects of their own choosing, such as park cleanups, water and energy conservation teams, or community gardens.
“PG&E believes in a cleaner energy future that includes solar. Students like those invited to We Day California—who are already deeply invested in improving their local communities—are exactly the type of young leaders who will drive a clean, sustainable energy future. These passionate young Californians are on a profound path to forever change the lives of others in their local communities and around the world. We’re excited to share the potential of solar with them,” said Helen Burt, senior vice president of corporate affairs for PG&E.
Participating students can submit videos of their own local sustainability project success stories to earn a chance to be one of four participants selected for a humanitarian solar suitcase delivery mission to orphanages, schools and medical clinics in Kenya with international charity Free the Children. This unique global opportunity for local high school students adds a new dimension to PG&E’s commitment to education and renewable energy.
