A recent Associated Press article reported that solar stocks rose after Citibank suggested the global demand for solar panels was increasing. Renewable energy demand may have reached a low point but is prepared to grow as prices are approaching the levers of power from traditional sources, Citibank analyst Timothy Arcuri wrote in a research note. Arcuri said new demand is developing from countries such as Bahrain, Jordan, Chile, Ukraine, Serbia and Puerto Rico where solar is an option even without subsidies.
The recent drop in panel prices has made them more attractive to homeowners and utilities. Solar panel prices have decreased 47 percent and as a result solar installations in the U.S. have soared 85 percent in the first quarter of 2012.
