Special Report If Solar's Rally Has Legs, These 2 Stocks Could Benefit MostBy Ryan Hasson. Article Published: 1/4/2026. 
Quick Look - Solar stocks staged a robust comeback in 2025, with the Invesco Solar ETF surging 48% as policy fears eased and capital rotated back into the sector.
- NXT and FSLR emerged as two sector leaders in 2025, combining strong fundamental execution, rising analyst confidence, and technically constructive setups heading into 2026.
- The next leg higher depends on key support levels holding, as both stocks consolidate from positions of strength but near all-important momentum-shifting support levels.
Solar stocks quietly delivered an impressive comeback in 2025. The widely followed Invesco Solar ETF (NYSEARCA: TAN) surged 48% for the year, comfortably outperforming the S&P 500. That strength caught many investors off guard, particularly given the policy uncertainty early in the year. Concerns that the Trump administration might aggressively roll back renewable energy tax credits weighed heavily on sentiment during the first half of 2025. Those fears ultimately proved overdone. While the One Big Beautiful Bill did phase out certain subsidies, the scope and timing of the changes were far more measured than initially feared. As clarity improved, capital flowed back into the sector and several leading solar names posted triple-digit gains. Heading into the new year, the sector is consolidating from a position of strength rather than breaking down. Wall Street veteran reveals #1 investment trend of 2026 (not AI)
Will you potentially make money or lose money in the U.S. stock market in 2026? According to the 50-year Wall Street legend who invented one of Wall Street's most popular buying and selling indicators – the answer has nothing to do with AI, quantum computing, or cryptos. Instead, it all comes down to the #1 stock he recommends you BUY now… And the #1 stock he recommends you SELL now. If that momentum carries into 2026, two of last year's sector leaders are worth keeping firmly on the radar. NextPower: Momentum-Driven Growth in Solar Infrastructure NextPower (NASDAQ: NXT) emerged as one of the most explosive performers in the solar space in 2025. The company specializes in advanced single-axis solar tracking systems that enable panels to follow the sun's movement throughout the day. These trackers are increasingly critical for utility-scale projects focused on maximizing efficiency and output. Shares of NXT surged 138% in 2025, placing it among the top performers in the renewable-energy sector. That run prompted analysts to raise their targets: one year ago the consensus price target sat near $53; today it has climbed to $95.76, implying almost 10% additional upside from current levels. Based on 27 analyst ratings, the stock carries a consensus Moderate Buy rating. Institutional investors have also leaned in. Over the past 12 months, NextPower saw $2.27 billion in institutional inflows versus $957 million in institutional outflows, reflecting growing confidence in both the stock's momentum and its fundamentals. In its most recent report, NextPower posted second-quarter fiscal 2026 results on Oct. 23, reporting earnings per share of $1.19, beating consensus estimates by $0.21. Revenue of $905.27 million also came in well ahead of expectations. From a technical standpoint, the stock sits at an interesting inflection point. Momentum remains positive, but a clear battle has formed between buyers and sellers. Support near $84 has become critical — holding that level keeps the door open for a breakout above $90. A sustained move above $90 could trigger a fresh leg higher within the stock's broader uptrend. Conversely, a decisive break below $84 would likely cool momentum in the near term. First Solar: Utility-Scale Leader With Valuation Support First Solar (NASDAQ: FSLR) remains one of the most established and differentiated players in the solar industry. The company designs and manufactures thin-film photovoltaic modules using cadmium telluride technology, supplying both modules and integrated solar power solutions primarily for utility-scale projects. That focus gives First Solar a distinct position versus competitors that are more exposed to residential or highly commoditized markets. From a shareholder-return perspective, 2025 was a strong year: shares rose 48%, comfortably outperforming the broader market. Notably, valuation has remained reasonable despite that performance. The stock currently trades at a forward P/E of 11.5, and analyst sentiment remains bullish. First Solar carries a consensus Moderate Buy rating based on 35 analyst opinions, with a consensus price target implying modest upside of roughly 4%. Fundamentally, the company has continued to execute, beating revenue expectations in each of the last two quarters as demand for large-scale solar projects stayed resilient. Technically, the setup is encouraging. Shares have been following a well-defined upward trend, with the $250 area acting as a key support level. A base forming in the roughly $260–$280 range — followed by a sustained move above $280 — could open the door to renewed momentum and sector leadership as we move into 2026. Solar Momentum Faces Its Next Test As 2026 begins, solar stocks enter the year with improving sentiment, clearer policy visibility and technically constructive setups. First Solar and NextPower stand out as two companies positioned at the intersection of fundamentals, analyst conviction and sector momentum. That said, for upside momentum to continue and higher trends to remain intact, the key support levels established during recent consolidations will need to hold. If they do, both stocks should be well-positioned to participate in any renewed strength across the solar space in the year ahead.
