....For solar investors, 2014 could have been maddening. The industry is expected to grow around 35%, companies are becoming more profitable, and as solar energy passes grid parity around the world we should see demand grow exponentially in the next decade.
Yet, solar stocks have traded lower on the price of oil rather than the strong fundamentals in the industry. The price of oil really has nothing to do with the demand for solar energy, but the market seems to think all energy is correlated and recently stocks have gotten crushed.
That's the downside this year, but as I said, the industry is doing very well if you take a more fundamental look......
Solar project developers have been winners on the solar market recently, but it's unknown if that position will last. Long-term, I think manufacturers will start playing a major role in development, taking power away from developers buying panels on the open market. SunPower, Trina Solar, and Canadian Solar have all moved downstream to capture project value from their panels and I think that will continue long-term.
