Solar Companies Stock: The complete list on the NYSE

Here’s the complete list of all the solar companies’ stock that’s listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) as of 09/23/20. 

We put it together at Carbon Collective because we wanted to find a way to invest in all of the companies building solutions to climate change. From renewable energy stocks, to LEDs stocks, to recycling stocks. 

For humanity to stop climate change, we need to dramatically expand the use of solar power. According to Project Drawdown, each of the following has the potential to reduce global carbon emission significantly.  

• Utility scale solar: 42 – 119 gigatons CO2e reduction potential
• Concentrated solar: 18 – 23 gigatons of CO2e reduction potential
• Distributed (residential/commercial solar): 28 – 68 gigatons of CO2e reduction potential. 

Here is the full list of solar companies’ stocks, broken into five categories: 

• Residential solar
• Solar developers 
• Solar panel manufacturing 
• Solar inverters
• Yieldcos 

Disclaimer: We had trouble finding all of these stocks in one place online. So, we built the following list. We’re publishing it purely for informational purposes and not a recommendation to buy or sell.

About Carbon Collective:

We built Carbon Collective Investing because we couldn’t find the right place to invest our retirement savings that made both ethical and financial sense in the age of climate change. 

So we built a series of climate-friendly, diversified, low-fee investment portfolios and teamed up with a world class online brokerage platform to automatically manage them.

Imagine an index fund in a world without fossil fuels. That’s how we build our portfolios. We swap the high-carbon parts of the stock market (fossil fuels, dirty utilities, airlines, etc.) with the companies building solutions to climate change (renewable energy, circular economy, energy efficiency, etc.). 

Checkout their historical performance, carbon footprint, and fees compared to common standard and ethical portfolios.
