New article out on Seeking Alpha. My view as well. If $SPWR continues to disappoint even when ENPH and $SEDG are doing well, I will sell most of my SPWR and just put it into ENPH. I've been long for years with SPWR and while the position has been somewhat profitable, it has totally underperformed compared to these two companies:
Enphase Energy Copes Well With Inflation, a subscriber-only post by Enterprising Investors Published on: Tue, May 3, 9:23 AM ET Summary: • Enphase Energy is my preferred solar stock. It focuses on profitable residential solar and energy storage solutions. • The company performs excellently. It showed it can offset cost inflation with higher prices and expects to continue so. • The company's valuation is reasonable for its growth. It generates significant free cash flows. • I dig into the first-quarter numbers and outlook to dissect its ability to cope with cost inflation. • I confirm my price targets for Enphase.

Huge report. Great job again for SEDG. Bright future for the solar sector.

@Travis of Motley Fool, your explanation for why the share prices of SolarEdge declined today makes no sense. Just because interest rates are rising doesn’t mean the present value of future returns will decline. Conversely, an assumption of a sustained higher rate of inflation would diminish the present value of future returns assuming other variables are held constant. I believe that SolarEdge’s sterling balance sheet will enable the company to navigate a higher rate interest environment than other industry participants that are highly leveraged.
This brutal sell off is sector wide, not just ENPH. $SPWR, $SEDG, $RUN, $STEM etc. all down hard. I can't any news why. I'm wondering if its related to those with better knowledge having inside knowledge that Congress will not be able to pass any meaningful legislation to help the sector via reconciliation. Definitely equity prices in this sector partly held up by hopes of meaningful legislation.

Let’s hope 300 by end of the week, feds talk might have spooked some

I sold September $350 calls for $51.90. I'm predicting $350 or less by then due to the overall economy/equity markets. The hedge is $401.90 and I have 2,000 shares to back up the call (I'd just sell the next future call $50 above to cover). I like SEDG as much as ENPH and predict share price growth to continue into 2023 and beyond with starts and stops. If SEDG drops after earnings, I'll buy back my calls for $5 to $10, wait for $350 again and repeat, Alternatively, SEDG could rise 10% to 20% after earnings and I'll just sit tight.

Great buying opportunity
