Top 25 Solar Energy Companies Stock Prices: February 6, 2012

Solar Energy Stocks like Trina Solar and JA Solar have been on a remarkable run this year as the 25 Best Solar Stocks AimHighProfits covers are up 29.30% cumulatively for the year with plenty of good stocks to buy still in the sector trading well under their 52 week highs.

Chinese solar companies have fared best thus far since U.S. solar-equipment manufacturers are “behind the 8 ball” because China’s government manipulates its currency, boosting exports of solar panels and other materials and also uses discounts on raw materials, cash grants, preferential, low interest loans and tax incentives.

President Obama spoke of commitment to alternative energy in his State of the Union speech when he stated: “I will not cede the wind or solar or battery industry to China or Germany because we refuse to make the same commitment here” as he talked about ending subsidies for oil and broadening incentives for an alternative energy industry.

To take profit on what should be a long period of growth in the solar energy industry, the following is a list of closing prices for the TOP 25 publicly traded solar energy companies in the U.S. stock market as of Friday, February 3, 2012, listed alphabetically:
