Solar index progresses rapidly(16/02/2009)
Of the 20 stocks followed in the solar index, 17 are up an average of +9.09%. This strong momentum bodes well for the solar energy industry in general. There are several reasons for this strong surge, the first being the renewal of postponed solar contracts from last year. With the new solar tax credit available this year, contracts are now moving forward. The second is a possible 30% cash grant in lieu of a solar tax credit, which is being h... [more]
