Any electrical system that doesn’t have access to the power grid is subject to sub-par performance, potentially resulting in increased lifetime costs and premature obsolescence. Renewable energy sources are the way to remove operational and maintenance costs for off-grid projects while improving reliability and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Sophic Capital client Clear Blue Technologies is a provider of clean, wireless power solutions serving the multi-billion dollar off-grid market. Industry valuations of solar projects under development suggest that UGE International’s current 83.7MW project backlog is undervalued. UGE’s goal of 120MW of project backlog by the end of 2021 makes the Company’s current undervaluation even more compelling. Applying peer transactions to UGE’s 357MW (net of backlog) pipeline potentially puts the stock in future multi-bagger territory. Apple allows users to opt-out of app tracking.

Sophic Capital client Renoworks Software (TSXV:RW, OTC:ROWKF) followed along, with 2020 revenues growing 20+% year-over-year. Home renovations have boomed during the pandemic. That doesn’t mean homeowners haven’t felt the stress and disappointments that come with renovations. Renoworks digital visualization software simplifies the home renovation value chain and gives homeowners their “soles” back. Commercial real estate owners have excessive operating costs and unplanned capital expenditures due to power grid instability. The combination of electrification and renewable energy are going to compound grid instability and increase these excessive costs.
