    Look into sunv, sunovia energy, solar play with very interesting products and several contracts signed. Reply

    I see you have not listed PacWind. There website has an investment link, but I haven't checked it out. Have you? Just curious, as their product is a turbine/cylindrical wind mill which can mounted atop a pole, or on the roof of a house/business. Looks awesome. Jay Leno actually is highlighted on the sight as he's had one added to his garage. Also, Ed Bagley is a spokesperson for PacWind. Would be curious on your take. THANKS Reply

    when the major utilities and other big $ investors get into solar in significant ways, we'll know SOLAR has arrived. FPL ENERGY llc is the only biggee i know of[they've been in CSP in Mohave and have more planned in FLA, CAL over next 6-8 years] spending significant funds. lot more talk only from others.

    anyone aware of other big use/application?     Reply

    Solar thermal plants can now generate electricity at 8-12 cents per kwh. That means grid parity now!

    And photovoltaics are at grid parity at least at the cutting edge of technology.

    "Nanosolar’s founder and chief executive, Martin Roscheisen, claims to be the first solar panel manufacturer to be able to profitably sell solar panels for less than $1 a watt. That is the price at which solar energy becomes less expensive than coal.
    With a $1-per-watt panel,” he said, “it is possible to build $2-per-watt systems.
    According to the Energy Department, building a new coal plant costs about $2.1 a watt, plus the cost of fuel and emissions, he said." www.grinzo.com/energy/.../

    and these are head to head comparisons, not considering the hidden costs that others mentioned here.

    Solar and wind are also much quicker to get up and running than either coal or nuclear power plants.     Reply

    Wow, you made out better than I did using 07' P/Es for your article!

    "Firstly, you have governmental support. Next, you have improving technology, which is reducing costs to create solar electrons. And finally, you have venture money, which is pouring into the market."

    All 3 components of a bubbling sector as per itulip.     Reply

    Comparing the cost of coal-fired electric generation to solar (or other non-polluting, renewable electric generation) without factoring in the ultimate, inevitable cost of repairing environmental damage the coal-fired plants will cause is inaccurate. The clean-up costs (not to mention the costs of global warming, health effects of breathing polluted air,etc.) may eventually be reflected in a carbon -trading scheme, and therefore make the comparison easier- but for now, you are comparing a heavily-subsidized industry (coal) with a barely subsidized one-
    U.S. policy-makers need to wake up and see the train wreck we are headed for, and start emulating the European model of subsidizing a cleaner future, that also eventually will cost us all a lot less. (remember, with renewables, the fuel to power the plants is FREE .Forever. )     Reply

    Spain and Germany are the real solar end points with high feed in tarriffs. The US policy considering the potentially expiring 30% ITC (investment tax credit) is not interesting. The RPS (renewable portfolio standards) are mostly toothless.

    Energy is a global game and in PV, other than raw Poly manufacture, the US is a bit player for now.

    CSP (concentrated solar power) is coal cost competitive in environments with high insolation.     Reply

    If you examine the true, unsubsidized costs of solar versus the traditional sources of energy we're already at grid parity. See Jack Yetiv's article on this subject at

    ENER has a patent application dated April 17, 2008 that promises to reduce the cost of solar power to less than fossil fuel. This not only makes it economic for electric but also reduces the cost of purifying water( another giant use ) . This is quite an advancement in technology. It is accomplished by increasing the thin film line speed by as much as 10X's Reply

    CSIQ had its run! Maybe SOLF and SOL also had theirs! But YGE may still have alot of upside and I think SOL may just go to $25..but its risky, they are al lrisky but use your triggers! May be a lot of money still to be made but protect your loss from ALL of these. OIL goes down these stocks are in TROUBLE Reply

    fyi, wind guys are way ahead of the solar guys on getting to the grid, I see for the near term solar as retail, wind as wholesale...but both will grow and not to forget so will demand response providers...supply is not the only story...take a look at Texas where wind went down and the grid operators used demand response (not baseload coal) to prevent a crash.
