Solar Energy Stocks

Because of the Democratic majority of both the House and Senate as a result of the last election, there is some belief among stock market analysts that solar energy companies should do well. The following are a list of the pure plays and semi-pure plays in the solar energy fields. Companies which have a very small portion of their business in solar were excluded (e.g. GE, PG&E). The list shows the name of the company, the stock market symbol, what exchange the stock is traded on, and their business.
