Crude oil prices have been surging recently, and there is little sign that the momentum will be slowing down. Every time crude oil reaches these types of elevated levels, it seems that interest in alternative forms of energy also rise. Solar is one type of alternative energy that gets particular attention, and should be on investors' radar going into 2012.Solar stocks soared today - FSLR +7%, SPWR +12.5%, TSL +18.6%, YGE +20.4, STP +8.6% - perhaps due to a Deutsche Bank note suggesting that demand is increasing, as evident in rising utilization of solar module factories. But solar has been moving for a few weeks, and some analysts think it's all about short covering.First Solar (FSLR +7%), which rallied today along with other solar names, falls 1.2% AH after disclosing the DOE hasn't yet provided initial funding for a 230MW California solar project that First Solar sold to Exelon (EXC) for $75M. If funding doesn't arrive by Feb. 24, First Solar could be on the hook to repurchase the project for its initial price, plus costs incurred by Exelon You can also check previous stocks to buy reports- Right Here
