Solar America

Yesterday I told you that companies dealing with solar energy (as well as other alternative, renewable energy sources) would do well in the coming years. Today I give you a list of three companies that won the Department of Energy's new technical assistant awards. These are three companies to watch, and perhaps also in which to make invest. Expect many more companies to jump on the bandwagon as the Obama administration gives increasing incentives to companies to produce alternative & renewable energy.

Below find an excerpt from the DOE's article on January 16. You can find the entire article by following this link.

The three new Solar America Showcases winners are:

• The Hartman Company: This project involves a 115 kilowatt solar photovoltaic installation at the Hyatt Regency Resort in Scottsdale, Arizona, which is part of a master plan to replicate a number of solar energy technologies at other Hyatt facilities.
• Philadelphia Water Department: This project involves new photovoltaic installations to power drinking water treatment facilities, providing up to 7.6 megawatts (MW) of new capacity.
• Southwest Solar Technologies, Inc.: This Phoenix-based development at Riverpoint Solar Research Park involves a solar test and demonstration installation, providing 1 MW of combined solar and storage energy.
