Why are solar stocks falling?

    Short answer

    Solar stocks fall on higher interest rates (which make solar projects less affordable), Chinese oversupply, or policy uncertainty.

    What happened

    The Invesco Solar ETF (TAN) and major solar names dropped sharply.

    Why it happened

    Solar installations often use financing — higher rates cut demand. Chinese panel makers have flooded the market with cheap supply, crushing margins.

    Why investors care

    Solar is a barometer for how clean-energy policy and rates interact.

    How it affects ordinary people

    Cheaper panels may still lower home installation costs.

    FAQ

    Is solar still a long-term winner?

    Long-term demand is strong; short-term earnings are volatile.
