I wouldn't go so far as to short YGE because in this space, YGE happens to be one of the stronger companies. You'd make more money shorting STP, CSIQ, or TSL. I would agree with you that in general, solar is toast. As an installer, I can tell you that there are too many components associated with a solar pv installation to make this a viable DIY proposition, period. As long as there is a guy (an installer like me) in between the average homeowner and a lower electric bill, solar isn't going anywhere north of where we've been for the last year. It's just too damn complicated making electricity by yourself in two thirds of this country. But alas, I'm still a long holder of YGE waiting for a great day with a bunch of 8s in the price...and liberals still SUCK!!
