Some of the biggest names in the solar energy market are surging on Tuesday. SolarEdge Technologies (SEDG Quick QuoteSEDG - Free Report) , Enphase Energy (ENPH Quick QuoteENPH - Free Report) , and Blink Charging (BLNK Quick QuoteBLNK - Free Report) were all up 19.3%, 12.5%, and 13.4%, respectively, in midday trading.

What sent these stocks higher?

Well, a few things. SolarEdge just posted blowout second quarter earnings of $0.97 per share and revenue of $331.8 million that also handily beat expectations. Plus, its Q3 guidance is much better than analysts’ previous forecasts.

These numbers are a good sign for Enphase, which reports earnings today.

Another thing driving these stocks is news from Blink. It recently announced a deal with real estate services firm Cushman & Wakefield (CWK Quick QuoteCWK - Free Report) to market and potentially deploy Blink’s level 2 fast-charging stations.

Overall, investors are optimistic about solar energy stocks and shares are up as a result.
