Seeks like a cheap way to get some solar energy expsoure--or will I just get sunburned?

I dunno what percentage of revenue/income is solar vs. computer gunk. I'm just comparing some numbers:

WFR
Trailing P/E (ttm, intraday): 14.52
Forward P/E (fye 31-Dec-09) : 8.20
PEG Ratio (5 yr expected): 0.42

FSLR
Trailing P/E (ttm, intraday): 88.90
Forward P/E (fye 29-Dec-09) : 35.46
PEG Ratio (5 yr expected): 1.25

WFR looks cheap, but like a wise old man who lived a long time ago once said: Wisdom is knowing what you don't know.
