Q: The solar subsector seems to be getting a lot of attention and company valuations are going up. This is on par with the renewables trend we are seeing. Do you have any pure solar picks in the US or Canada or are you only playing the larger infrastructure companies that may own some solar farms? What are your top picks? Thx

Q: I've been watching this one for a while, ever since you compared it favourably within the context of alternative energy / solar stocks. Wednesday's "dip" turns out to have been driven by a class action lawsuit concerning alleged revenue manipulations.

The press release from the legal firm filing the class action has this to say:

"On June 17, 2020, Prescience Point Capital Management issued a report alleging, among other things, that 'at least 39%, or $205.3 million, of [Enphase's] reported U.S. revenue is fabricated.' The report also claimed, citing former employees, that 'a large portion of [the Company's] astronomical growth over the past two years is attributable to accounting gimmicks that artificially inflate revenue and profits.'"

What are your thoughts on Enphase in light of this news?

Also, I'm curious given your experience, are you able to share any insights on how class action lawsuits affect companies and their share performance -- at least, until the allegations are actually proven or rejected in court?

Please deduct as needed.

Kind regards

Q: Hi 5iR Team, Recently, I asked a question on Solar Technology stocks and the team gave me 4 names to follow up on: CSIQ, TSLA, FSLR, and SPWR. After doing some more research I would like to add to the list; SEDG and ENPH and drop SPWR and TSLA. OK, we now have 4 names; CSIQ, FSLR, SEDG, and ENPH. Could you rank order these names for me, perhaps with a few comments on why. Thanks very much team. Cheers, Chris
