"Solar stocks" are shares of publicly traded companies whose primary business is producing, installing, financing, or supporting solar photovoltaic and related technologies—this includes panel and cell manufacturers, inverter and tracker makers, project developers, installers, and clean-energy utilities or ETFs that focus on solar. Investors buy solar stocks to gain exposure to growth in the solar and broader renewable-energy market, but these investments carry company-specific, regulatory, commodity and technological risks (e.g., supply-chain issues, policy changes, or falling equipment prices).
