What companies do solar energy research?

Question

I'm looking into companies that are researching solar/renewable energies, particularly in California. What companies are doing a lot of R&D in this area?

Answer 1

Solyndra,

Nanosolar

Miasole

First Solar

SunPower

These are Silicon Valley solar companies that are doing R&D.  I don't know if you are looking for a company to apply at or looking to invest.  Best of luck in any case.
