The Vetr crowd downgraded the solar technology provider to four stars out of a possible five stars from a prior rating of 4.5-stars. The rating still corresponds to a Buy recommendation, although the crowd has turned incrementally less bullish following the stock's recent gains.

Eight-seven percent of the Vetr crowd holds a bullish rating on SunPower, making the stock more attractive than SolarCity Corp SCTY as 70 percent of the crowd recommend a Buy rating.

Only 12.5 percent of the Vetr crowd recommend a Sell rating on shares of SunPower. By comparison, 30 percent of the Vetr crowd recommend a Sell rating on shares of SolarCity.

A member of the Vetr Crowd, Rogier v Vlissingen, noted three months ago that SolarCity's business model is "non-viable" and "incapable of change." The member of the crowd also added that the company faces "mounting" consumer liabilities and engages in "boiler room sales tactics."

Shares of SolarCity have plunged more than 30 percent over the past three months. During the same time period, shares of SunPower gained more than 11 percent.
