Solar Energy

The worldwide solar market grew from $8.3 billion in 2004 to more than $12 billion in 2005, according to CLSA Asia-Pacific analyst Michael Rogol. Mr. Rogol expects the market to top $16 billion this year and $40 billion in 2010. Oakland, California-based research firm Clean Edge sees solar taking a more gradual curve, but still getting huge.
