The Top 10 Clean-Tech Companies
By COLLEEN DEBAISE

Companies that make everything from solar panels to renewable-crude oil continue to be big draws for funding
from the venture-capital community.
But a company that rewards consumers for recycling led�The Wall Street Journal's second-annual ranking of
venture-backed clean-tech companies.
Recyclebank, which provides recycling-rewards programs in 29
states and the U.K., has had a growth spurt since its 2004 launch.
In October, the New York-based company brought on Jonathan
Hsu, former head of onliine ad firm 24/7 Real Media, as its chief
executive.
Two solar-power firms, Suniva Inc. of Norcross, Ga., and eSolar
Inc. of Burbank, Calif., came in second and third, respectively.
Ron Gonen, the founder of Recyclebank, discusses
building a green business and raising venture capital.

The Top 10 Clean-Tech ranking, announced Wednesday at the
Journal's ECO:nomics Executive Conference in Santa Barbara,
Calif., seeks to identify green companies with the greatest potential
to succeed in an increasingly competitive sector.

In Charge: On Whether Green is 'Kumbaya'

A team from venture-industry tracker VentureSource calculated
the rankings based on a strict set of criteria applied to 516 U.S.-based venture-backed businesses in clean
technology. On March 10, the Journal plans to publish its 2011 Next Big Thing ranking of the top 50 US venturebacked companies across all industries, drawn from more than 5,700 firms. (VentureSource is owned by News
Corp., which also owns Dow Jones & Co., publisher of the Wall Street Journal.)
Candidates were analyzed on the amount of capital raised in the past three years; the track records of each
company's founders, managers and investors; and the percentage change in its valuation in the 12 months ended
Nov. 30.
The list also reflects the difficulties in identifying companies with the best odds for success. Last year, Solyndra Inc.
of Fremont, Calif., ranked No. 1, in part because it had secured a $535 million government loan on top of $286
million in venture capital. But amid heavy competition, Solyndra had a difficult 2010 and in June scrapped plans
for an initial public offering.
But another company on last year's list, Tesla Motors Inc., moved

off this year's ranking after an IPO in June. The electric-car maker
had ranked No. 10 in 2010.
Recyclebank, a unit of Recycle Rewards Inc., Suniva and eSolar
also appeared on last year's list. RecycleBank jumped three spots
from last year's No. 4 rank, while Suniva and eSolar remained
steady at No. 2 and No. 3.
The remaining companies on the 2011 list are: No. 4 MiaSol� of
Santa Clara, Calif., a maker of thin-film solar cells; No. 5 Opower
Inc. of Arlington, Va., a developer of software for utility companies
that helps consumers boost energy efficiency; No. 6 GreatPoint Energy Inc. of Cambridge, Mass., which makes
technology that converts coal, petroleum coke and biomass into natural gas; No. 7 SeaMicro Inc. of Santa Clara, a
provider of low-power servers for data centers; No. 8 Boston-Power Inc. of Westborough, Mass., a maker of
lithium-ion batteries; No. 9 Luxim Corp. of Sunnyvale, Calif., a provider of energy-efficient lighting technology;
and No. 10 Sapphire Energy Inc. of San Diego, a producer of "green crude" from algae, sunlight and carbon dioxide.
