Authors will do just about anything to catch your attention here. We're talking money. I suggest you get yourself a nice soda can of something and read this. But before you trash it, ever wondered what your empty can was worth like a 160 years ago? And what on earth has that got to do with solar energy stocks you might ask?

For those of you not too familiar with the technicals of the silicon solar Photovoltaic industry, I would like to bring to your attention several developments that in my view represent a paradigm change, will reduce the enormous volatility, present a view of the sector that could alter what I consider to be a false perception in the retail investment community about solar energy stocks in general and the silicon PV sector in particular, and hopefully contribute to some wealth creation -cq. to prevent losses- in a series of articles.
