(firmenpresse) - NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 09/12/12 -- The solar power market is rapidly expanding in the U.S. The industry's growth has not come from domestic solar manufacturing but from the installation of foreign made-panels. Bloomberg New Energy Finance estimates that approximately 68 percent of all solar panels were produced from Chinese companies in 2011, compared to only 40 percent in 2009. Five Star Equities examines the outlook for companies in the Solar Industry and provides equity research on SunPower Corporation (NASDAQ: SPWR) and LDK Solar Co., Ltd. (NYSE: LDK).
