DENVER - A research firm is reporting signs that investors are slowly returning to the clean technology sector by putting money into solar and wind companies, batteries, electric vehicles and green building products.
Deloitte's Cleantech Group said Wednesday that third-quarter investment in the sector totaled $1.6 billion in 134 companies in North America, Europe, China and India.
The amount was 42 percent less than the year-ago total but was 10 percent more than the previous quarter.
North American companies received $1.1 billion, which was about 42 percent less than the third quarter of 2008 but up 8 percent from the previous quarter.
The Cleantech Group credits global government investment and renewable energy mandates for boosting investor confidence.
