“Keep your face to the sun …” – Helen Keller Wherever you look, alternative energy is the topic of the day. Driven by the economy of soaring crude oil prices, not the displacement Spotlight to traditional sources of renewable energy, particularly solar energy. But while solar stocks some of the biggest gainers for much of recent years which have recently been the industry of solar energy has made great success – with some key figures such as First Solar (FLSR ) SunPower (SPWR) and Evergreen Solar (ESLR) to the extent of 50% below its 52 week highs. To know what is happening with the sources of solar and other renewable energies, which we recently surveyed 182 respondents, who jumped into the alternative energy industry. Led Solar – Solar energy continues the momentum of all segments of alternative energy will display according to industry respondents. It has been demonstrated not only strong gains since our last survey in February 2007 results, but also in each of the following: * The most rapid economic growth – 12 months: When asked which area of alternative energies, the strongest growth over the past year, solar energy (49% experienced), tops the list – until a huge 14 points from our last survey in February. In comparison, biomass – including biofuels and bio-products – came in 41%. * Most Rapid Economic Growth – Next 12-24 months: In the future, respondents see solar energy (58% to 20 experience points) as the fastest growing in the industry for the next one or two years. * Most Momentum – 5 years to say: In the long term, solar energy also retains its strength as 31% of respondents (up 5 points) that this sector will be the top for the next half decade. In sum, solar led all other major categories of alternative energy sources in terms of rapid economic growth. Solar energy can also be regarded as experiencing the greatest technological breakthroughs (27%, up 2 points). But perhaps more importantly, solar cells should be affordable enough to achieve a competitive return on investment within seven years (until 2015). ”Demand for solar cells is unquestionably robust, the price of oil tends to be higher and will probably expand its solar tax credits,” said ChangeWave analyst Josh Levine. The forces are all very good snake to the solar industry. is the right time for investors to be exposed to sunlight and to invest in solar shares. “ With experts in the solar industry, industry growth is implemented by the PV manufacturers worldwide such as First Solar (FSLR), SunPower Corp. (SPWR) and Suntech Power Holdings (STP) driven – companies that have developed business models and excellent project management. Levine adds that the next big challenge for the solar industry, the scale of production facilities for mass production at the gigawatt level. “The next generation of leaders, companies that are best placed to exploit the latest innovations in materials research to manufacturing expertise,” he said. Of course, solar energy, the momentum of our latest ChangeWave survey. We will continue to monitor solar and other non-traditional sources of energy in the alternative energy industry for new opportunities in 2008.
