Buyout
After reading an article the other day that listed "the" big players having involvement to solar.
I truly believe that it's a matter of "when" and not "if" there's a buyout. Here's a piece of the article that lists various companies. All it really takes is a couple of positive quarters and these corps are knocking on your door.
"Why it's important: BYD is another in a long line of global industrial giants waking up to the promise of the solar industry. BYD joins firms like
Corning, Samsung, Siemens, Toshiba, Mitsubishi,
LG, Hyundai, Honeywell, and
GE in the rush into this industry"
