The solar panel sector has recently surged strongly. Sunrun (RUN) jumped more than 30% in a single day📈, while First Solar (FSLR) surged over 50% in May📈. Enphase Energy (ENPH), among others, also strengthened collectively📈.
There are three key catalysts: First, in May, U.S. solar power generation exceeded coal for the first time, reaching a share of 12.8%, marking a historic shift in industry status. Second, the Trump “big and beautiful” bill took effect. Tax credits for newly built wind and solar projects are set to exit, yet it has triggered a rush—more than 200 GW of photovoltaic projects are racing to secure subsidy qualification before July 4, sparking a short-term boom in installations. Third, Sunrun teamed up with Tesla to move into powering data centers, building a 16 GW flexible power platform. The “AI consumes power” logic has reshaped the sector’s valuation. In addition, expectations of the 232 tariff on polysilicon and an import ban on inverters have prompted Wells Fargo to raise its target price for the domestic manufacturing chain, FSLR.US, to $320.
Outlook for the short and long term is clearly split. In the short term📈, the outlook is bullish—driven by a triple push from policy catalysts, rush installations, and AI-related power demand. In the long term📉, it is more cautious: after federal subsidies phase out, U.S. clean-energy PPA prices are expected to rise by 40%–120%; residential solar installation volumes are expected to fall year over year by 20%; ENPH and SEDG have already been cut to “reduce” by Morgan Stanley. FSLR, backed by its thin-film technology that bypasses China’s crystalline silicon supply chain, and with a backlog of orders totaling 479 GW, is one of the few stocks with📈 long-term allocation value. Overall, the sector is better suited for short-term participation and long-term selection, avoiding a one-size-fits-all bullish stance.#美国太阳能股盘前上涨
