As concerns about climate change intensify, renewable energy is taking a larger slice of the global energy pie. Solar energy, in particular, has made significant strides thanks to technological advancements. The Solar Energy Industries Association has noted substantial growth in solar installations and forecasts continued progress. The solar sector offers a broad spectrum of investment opportunities: from equipment manufacturers to solar system installers, and from power producers to sellers. Firms like Tesla and Panasonic, although not primary solar companies, have ventured into solar panel manufacturing. Meanwhile, First Solar stands out in this capital-intensive industry, and Pattern Energy has seen its size triple since its 2013 IPO. With expectations that solar will eventually contribute to nearly half of the US's energy needs, this sector offers vast potential for forward-looking investors.
