#3 I've had Personal experience wuth start-ups.
They typicly (After gaining a LOT of cash) Bankrupt and Keep/spend it all, then Organize as a NEW company,(And shed all the Debt) and procede on their merry way.

I HIGHLY recommend that Investors wait, past the first Bankruptcy, THEN invest.
(Maybe past the second, third and sometimes the Fourth)

#4 The design of many solar "flat panels" dissipates or scatters the very energies its supposed to collect or concentrate - thats why a lot of them must be set up over a large area or space, but even then the energy return is weak.

Solyndra's tubular solar panels "rejects" the energy.
