Why Solar Energy Stocks Dropped on Monday

Shares of solar energy stocks cratered in trading on Monday as investors sold off growth, technology, and high-performing stocks. It may seem like the solar industry would be a safe place with oil prices on the rise and economic activity picking up, but that's not the case right now. 

JinkoSolar Holding (NYSE: JKS) fell as much as 11.2%, Sunrun (NASDAQ: RUN) dropped 10.7%, and SunPower (NASDAQ: SPWR) was down 11.6% at its low. At 2:55 p.m. EDT shares were down 10.7%, 10%, and 10.9% respectively.
