  1. investing in solar stocks seems to be attractive these days, it is just my personal opinion, due to following reasons:
    -fossil fuels are becoming harder and more expensive to obtain
    -solar energy usage has been increasing by 100%-s percent since 2010.
    -compared to failed EV initiative by GM, most of the manufacturers are pushing for cars that are either hybrid and electric.
    - solar energy is practically limitless compared to fossil fuels which requires millions of years to form.
    green cars are much more abundant these days.

    That is not to say there are negatives:
    -solar energy is inconsistent (can not supply energy during night), and battery technology for cash energy is immature
    -solar installation is expensive
    -solar panels are high maintenance and low efficiency.

    If technology improves to solve the negatives, I see next decade will be a great time to invest in solar stocks. What do you think?
