Aaron Chew, a Maxim Group LLC analyst in New York recently told Bloomberg that China's plan to double capacity this year is helping to drive demand for solar panels, and boost shares throughout the industry.

While solar stocks kicked off the year on the upswing, recent announcements out of Germany took some wind out of the industry's sails. Last week Germany, the largest market for panels, said it will make quicker cuts to subsidized rates and phase out support for the industry by 2017. As reported in Bloomberg, German Environment Minister Norbert Roettgen said last week that he planned to reduce feed-in tariffs providing above-market prices for solar power every month instead of twice a year as he does now. He said he's working to curb an "unacceptable" surge in installations last year.
Meanwhile, economy Minister Philipp Roesler said spiraling costs linked to solar subsidies are a threat to the economy. Roettgen indicated concern that the funds are benefiting Chinese companies. "The increase in installations in the past few years has gone far beyond what we had targeted in our legislation," Roettgen said.
