Applied Solar Inc. is a company developing solar energy products and energy management applications—especially with photovoltaics for buildings. The company is located in California.
[edit] History
In 2005, Barnabus Energy Inc., which was founded in 2002, acquired 20% of Solar Roofing Systems (SRS). After that, the company changed from developing oil and natural gas projects in Western Canada to the new technology of renewable energy under the name Open Energy Corp.. Senior Scientific Advisor was Dr. Melvin L. Prueitt who was theoretical physicist at the Los Alamos National Laboratory for more than 30 years. In 2004 the share price was listed with more than 25 US$ in the NASDAQ, but declined in the following years. As the solar energy is still the main target, the company decided to change its name to Applied Solar in 2009.
The largest investor is The Quercus Trust with about 10 percent. [1]
Suntech, the world's largest manufacturer of photovoltaic, announced that it will undertake the worldwide manufacture, distribution, sales, and marketing of the solar membrane product.[2]
Since the Fukushima I nuclear accidents the shares of Applied Solar became more interesting, like other companies in the fields of renewable energy.[3]
