Five Top Solar Power Stocks

First off, if you are going to explain how something works, you should make sure you know what you are talking about. Mistake: The suns rays contain Photons, not protons. Misrepresentation: 48% current annual growth is just getting started. Double in 5 (that would represent an annual growth rate of around 14%), and triple in 7 (growth rate around 16%). While these would be fine numbers, the wording misrepresents the growth predicted.
While I personally think PV will beat out others in the short term, to say that PV is where the growth and investment opportunities are is either a complete guess, or just wrong. there are many thin film options for investments, and many technologies which may beat Poly PV. The efficiencies of panels are outdated as well, the real numbers are all higher by about 5% points +/- a few. They costs/watt are WAY off. No Silicon PV is at $1 per watt yet, though it is a future goal.
These are a few issues which jumped out at me, makes me nervous about the rest that I am not as sure about.
