For stock market investors, "solar stocks" are shares of publicly traded companies whose primary business is in the solar energy sector—such as manufacturers of photovoltaic panels and cells, suppliers of components (inverters, trackers), installers, and project developers/operators. Investors buy solar stocks to gain exposure to the growth of renewable energy, but these equities can be volatile and are sensitive to government policy, commodity costs, technological change, and project financing cycles. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Solar stocks within the last several days.
