RE: Strengthening position

RE: Strengthening positionWhat potential do you see int he retail solar division? I'm all for AMAT going into the solar business, but that would seem to be more profitable with a focus on commercial applications? Will a retail unit really provide enough space for growth.

I'm not too sure what the laws in the US are, but as an example, in canada, if someone where to utilize solar house shingles in order to generate their own electricity, they must pay a penalty in the form of an added tax.
