Stock in the solar sector were lifted on Tuesday after a WSJ article pointed out an announcement by China that it would add an additional 10-gigawatts of solar power capacity this year. The announcement came during a speech by Liu Tienan, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission.

Yingli Green Energy Holding Co. Ltd. (NYSE: YGE), LDK Solar Co., Ltd. (NYSE: LDK) Suntech Power Holdings Co. Ltd. (NYSE: STP) and Trina Solar Limited (NYSE: TSL) moved higher on the news.
