This portfolio tracks all solar stocks, as well as wind, water, etc. As you may know, I don't think there is an end to the growth of solar. It will be the biggest thing since electricity. I predict the market to expand by 20,000% in 10-20 years. Founded in 2001, this small company has grown to seven? offices in California. If you don't already know Cali has a goal of 1million solar roofs by 2018, http://gov.ca.gov/index.php/press-release/3588/ . Being a marketer/installer lets AKNS win no matter who is making the best tech. They are about to blow up in 2008/2009?Akeena Solar, Inc. AKNS, a leading designer and installer of solar power systems, opened a new office in Palm Springs today, bringing a local solar energy option to the Coachella Valley's alternative energy-hungry consumers.Akeena's Palm Springs office marks the solar innovator's seventh site in California, as the company continues to expand and invest in the state to meet the rapidly growing demand for solar power from both residential and commercial customers. Akeena recently launched a solar panel called Andalay which incorporates higher efficiency, increased reliability and innovative design.California continues to be the largest solar power market in the United States, much in part due to the California Solar Initiative, which makes solar power systems an attractive option for commercial and residential buildings. In addition to Palm Springs, Akeena has offices in Los Gatos, Santa Rosa, Lake Forest, Fresno, Bakersfield and Manteca.On a national level, support for solar power continues to grow as Americans become more concerned about their sources of energy and of environmentally friendly alternatives. With the right support, solar energy - America's most abundant renewable resource - is poised to provide an estimated 50 percent of all new electricity in the US within eight years. Is this post worth recommending? (sure, I want my charm). I used to forget to rec the good posts, but I am in the habit now.

You failed to mention AKNS has an office in NJ. Close proximity to the next boom region atop the Marcellus Shale Nat Gas fields. There will be plenty of capital available in the region shortly. There are countless universities throughout the region sitting on nat gas gold mines. Binghamton U. in NY is beginning negotions to exploit their resource. Other universites sitting atop the formation with recoverable resources/or residual beneficiaries include Cornell, Hartwick, Elmira, Scranton, etc, etc...
