Shares of solar-related companies, including Sunrun Inc (NASDAQ: RUN), ReneSola Ltd (NYSE: SOL) and SunPower Corp (NASDAQ: SPWR), are trading higher Monday as a surge in oil prices lifts alternative energy names.

The sudden surge in oil and gas prices as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has made alternative energy sources look more compelling.

Oil climbed to the highest levels since 2008 over the weekend. WTI crude traded above $130 Sunday evening while Brent crude, the international benchmark, traded above $139 before pulling back.

As geopolitical tensions rise, oil continues to move higher. Solar stocks, as well as other renewable energy stocks, are rising with it.
