Solar energy stocks took a nosedive today and some of the industry's biggest players are feeling the pain.

WTI oil dropped 2.3% to $33.19 per barrel, although natural gas was up 4.8% to $2.38 per million Btu today.

Canadian Solar, SunPower, and JinkoSolar all generate a lot of demand for solar products in China,....

— February 2, 2016, Analyst Philip Shen of Roth Capital recently weighed in on CSIQ, selecting the company as one of his “top picks.” First, the analyst notes the stock is trading below is pre-ITC extension levels, which he views as “an attractive buying opportunity.” The analyst attributes the falling stock price to its grouping “with other China-based stocks and overall macro concerns.” However, he states that CSIQ is “one of the best-positioned solar companies in [his] universe” due to its leading global position, strong downstream pipeline, and “limited exposure to China.” The analyst is also bullish regarding the company’s access to debt financing, as the company was able to fund various project in the U.S. and abroad through loans.

If you want to "beat the bear," you should look for companies with game-changing technologies that are tapped into unstoppable trends.

Solar and other renewable energies are now integral to the energy status quo and no longer need high oil and gas prices to attract users.......
