Solar Company Growth Snapshot

A quick snapshot of publicly-traded solar companies on US exchanges shows absolutely impressive growth year-over-year. Even through this global recession, not a single company on this list has revenue growth less than 40% YOY. Clearly, most of these companies are very small but their ability to sustain extremely high growth rates in a contracting economy must attract investor interest. Companies such as these should be the first ones to rebound as the economy turns the corner.
