Even though solar stocks have been among the most hated in the entire market, they might be close to a turning point…

Here’s ARRY consolidating at a shelf of former lows:

There isn’t a more logical place for ARRY to dig in and rebound, than at the current support level.

SolarEdge Technologies $SEDG director Avery More has made waves with a bold $2.1 million insider purchase of 156,000 shares.

Despite the solar industry becoming the market's "ugly duckling," More is stepping in at a key support level for SEDG.

With SEDG back at the scene of the crime, if there's a logical level for it to stop falling, we believe this is it.

That doesn't mean we’re going to get involved right here, right now, though.

Rather, we prefer to wait for a tradeable low and have enough conviction the trend is shifting higher.
