NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 01/13/12 -- After a challenging 2011, the solar industry has rallied in the early stages of the year. Several solar stocks collapsed more than 60 percent last year as prices for the panels that turn sunlight into electricity fell sharply, cutting profit margins for the companies that manufacture them, Reuters reports. The Paragon Report examines investing opportunities in the Solar Industry and provides equity research on Energy Conversion Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENER) and LDK Solar Co. (NYSE: LDK).

On Wednesday, shares of solar makers skyrocketed after figures showed an impressive surge in new solar installations in Germany in the fourth quarter and higher prices on polysilicon. Avian Securities analyst Mark Bachman said polysilicon was selling for about $30 a kilogram on the spot market after bottoming at around $24.
Meanwhile, after ending 2011 as one of the worst performing sectors, solar stocks and ETFs may now be undervalued, Deutsche Bank says.
