Crude oil prices have been surging recently, and there is little sign that the momentum will be slowing down. Every time crude oil reaches these types of elevated levels, it seems that interest in alternative forms of energy also rise. Solar is one type of alternative energy that gets particular attention, and should be on investors' radar going into 2012. SunPower's Q4: Earnings beat driven by a 100 bps Q/Q increase in gross margin to 12.4%, breaking a string of declines. SunPower is guiding for Q1 revenue of $500M-$575M and EPS of -$0.20 to -$0.05 (consensus of $610.3M and -$0.11), and 2012 revenue of $2.6B and EPS of breakeven or better (consensus of $2.72B and $0.28).
