Shares of solar manufacturer JA Solar Holdings Co., Ltd. (NASDAQ: JASO) fell 18.9% in September as the solar industry started facing some serious challenges.
Investors are starting to realize that late 2016 and early 2017 are going to be tough for solar manufacturers. Solar panel prices have dropped more than 20% in the last few months alone to $0.40 per watt, a level that will make it difficult for manufacturers like JA Solar to make money.
