solar PEs:

16 = 112.65/6.95 FSLR
8 = 17.54/2.10 TSL
11 = 9.31/0.84 YGE
13 = 9.35/0.73 STP
7 = 4.77/0.72 JASO

Earnings are 2010 consensus analyst estimates, per Wall Street Journal, as of today.

FSLR's 50% gross margins and stronger balance sheet mean they deserve their higher valuation. I'm not sure why YGE and STP deserve a higher valuation than TSL.
