Does anyone have a good recommedation for investing in solar energy and future energy companies?
So does anyone have any good companies to buy stock in that are centered around solar energy?
I’m very intrigued by the idea of investing into a company that is focusing in on energy sources like solar and fuel cells. Even fusion if possible. I know this sounds idealistic to some, but I’m trying to think ahead of the immediate future. This is an academic question with an idea of investing in a company like this for the long haul. I’m talking about a 10 to 30 year committment and not a quick profit.
What companies use solar energy?
Does anyone know if there are solar street lights,anywhere?
I think that would be the easiest way to save energy,but I don’t think anyone has done it yet.I wonder why?They make solar lights for yards.
Thank you,Miss Sunshine.I will look at it later.AFTER I call you and thank you personally.What are best friends for?!
When a solar cover is on a pool, do the bubbles go up or down?
Comapnies that run on solar energy?
I’m looking for a comprehensive list of businesses that run on solar energy. Not companies that provide solar energy, companies that RUN on solar energy! Any that you know of will be of great help! Thanks!
How do I start a solar energy company?
I am interested in starting a company in the next couple of years that would sell, and install solar panels to residential homes and businesses. Can you guys help me out? How would I do this? How would I even begin? I would appreciate lots of resources!
Physics 1001 question – solar cell, amps, volts, watts, etc?
"A commercially available solar cell module puts out 3V and 0.1A, and measures 5cm x 8cm. How large an array is necessary to provide an output of 40W?"

I don’t even know how to BEGIN this question!! What do I do? Help please. Thanks.
My Solar Garden lights keep getting stolen?
Every solar light I have in the front yard keeps getting stolen . I keep the cheap lights out there for that reason , except for one … my house number sign which is a solar light as well . That at least keeps getting returned by the neighbors . Is there a good theft deterrent out there … these are mainly disappearing by drunk teenagers that walk by in the middle of the night . Any good suggestions ???
Is a solar pool cover more effective when the filter is on or off?
It is a bright and sunny day today and I was wondering what would be most effective in heating up our 18′ round pool:
1. Leave the filter off all day and just let the cover sit and do its job.
2. Keep the filter on and the water ciruclating all day.
3. Leave the filter off for about an hour and then circulate the water for a few minutes each hour.
I’m not sure… Also, does water ontop of the cover decrease it’s effectiveness?
Are Republicans so desperate that they're trying to pin Solyndra on Obama?
Republicans trying to turn this in to Obama’s whitewater… but facts suggests this was Bush’s!
It’s often claimed that the Solyndra loan guarantee was "rushed through" by the Obama administration for political reasons. In fact, the Solyndra loan guarantee was a multi-year process that the Bush administration launched in 2007.
You’d never know from the media coverage that:
The Bush team tried to conditionally approve the Solyndra loan just before President Obama took office.
The company’s backers included private investors who had diverse political interests.
The loan comprises just 1.3 percent of the Department of Energy’s (DOE) overall loan portfolio. To date, Solyndra is the only loan that’s known to be troubled.
————————————————————————————————————————————-
May 2005: Just as a global silicon shortage begins driving up prices of solar photovoltaics, Solyndra is founded to provide a cost-competitive alternative to silicon-based panels.
July 2005: The Bush administration signs the Energy Policy Act of 2005 into law, creating the 1703 loan guarantee program.
February 2006 – October 2006: In February, Solyndra raises its first round of venture financing, worth .6 million from CMEA Capital, Redpoint Ventures, and U.S. Venture Partners. In October, Argonaut Venture Capital, an investment arm of George Kaiser, invests million into Solyndra. Madrone Capital Partners, an investment arm of the Walton family, invests million. Those investments are part of a .2 million fund.
December 2006: Solyndra applies for a loan guarantee under the 1703 program.
Late 2007: Loan guarantee program is funded. Solyndra was one of 16 clean-tech companies deemed ready to move forward in the due diligence process. The Bush administration DOE moves forward to develop a conditional commitment.
October 2008: Then Solyndra CEO Chris Gronet touted reasons for building in Silicon Valley and noted that the "company’s second factory also will be built in Fremont, since a Department of Energy loan guarantee mandates a U.S. location."
November 2008: Silicon prices remain very high on the spot market, making non-silicon based thin film technologies like Solyndra’s very attractive to investors. Solyndra also benefits from having very low installation costs. The company raises 4 million from ten different venture investors, including the Walton-family run Madrone Capital Partners. This brings total private investment to more than 0 million to date.
January 2009: In an effort to show it has done something to support renewable energy, the Bush administration tries to take Solyndra before a DOE credit review committee just one day before President Obama is inaugurated. The committee, consisting of career civil servants with financial expertise, remands the loan back to DOE because it wasn’t ready for conditional commitment.

Where can I find info on starting a solar panel/energy company?
I have an existing business and would like to start a company installing/manufacturing solar panels. Creating solar energy interests me also.
I would like to know any info on starting a business that manufactures and installs solar panels. From residential homes to solar panel fields.
I'm having an outdoor party at night, and I want lighting?Solar lights?
I live out in the country,so lighting is limited. I really don’t want my guests to be out in the dark (with just a motion light!) so I was wondering what I could do for lighting. I was wondering if solar lights could be the answer? Along with candles..but I’m not sure about those since there will be children there..and even if there weren’t with 50+ people things could get crazy.So what can I do?
Is a pool solar cover supposed to be put on with the bubbles up or down? Why?
What companies are the best in supplying Alternative Energy Generators(Solar, Wind…)?
Hello,
I was wondering if one day I wanted to buy good products for generating energy from alternative resources like the Wind power and the Solar power, which companies are the best in supplying those kinds of generators?
I’m not just thinking of small generators for homes, I’m thinking of a bigger level too. Like for big industrial companies or even National level!
Thanks a lot for your expertise exchange
