Westinghouse Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ: WEST), also called Akeena Solar, is getting a major boost this morning due to a supply contract for Lennar Corporation (NYSE: LEN). The designer and manufacturer of solar power systems has been awarded a supply pact to deliver solar power systems to new home buyers.
Westinghouse Solar will deliver solar power systems to new Lennar home buyers for certain new home communities. This is going to be a part of the “Everything’s Included” program in certain communities in Texas.
What is interesting about Westinghouse Solar is that it recently received a delisting notice due to an average market and stockholder equity after prior notifications. The company was given 180 days from the May 11 date to gain compliance. Westinghouse shares also carried out a 1-for-4 reverse stock split in April.
Solar panels are not quite as common in most of Texas if you compare it to other states. Still, this is not exactly a saturated market and there is still demand for the installation. The other standout feature is the price reaction. Westinghouse Solar shares are up 32% at $1.65 versus a 52-week range of $1.00 to $3.64 after about 30 minutes of trading this Monday.
There is a change in the theme song from an old musical… “Texas Has a Solarhouse in It!”

Are You Still Paying With a Debit Card?
The average American spends $17,274 on debit cards a year, and it’s a HUGE mistake. First, debit cards don’t have the same fraud protections as credit cards. Once your money is gone, it’s gone. But more importantly you can actually get something back from this spending every time you swipe.
Issuers are handing out wild bonuses right now. With some you can earn up to 5% back on every purchase. That’s like getting a 5% discount on everything you buy!
Our top pick is kind of hard to imagine. Not only does it pay up to 5% back, it also includes a $200 cash back reward in the first six months, a 0% intro APR, and…. $0 annual fee. It’s quite literally free money for any one that uses a card regularly. Click here to learn more!
