One of the best ways to build wealth is to invest in companies that are built to win from major trends. One of the biggest trends in the world is the shift to renewable energy. Technological improvements keep making wind and solar cheaper, and the advent of low-cost energy storage has put renewables on a level playing field with hydrocarbons. Between the falling costs of renewables, and the megatrend that will see the global middle class add an energy-hungry 1 billion new members over the next decade, renewable energy stocks should be a part of every investors' portfolio.
Three renewable energy stocks that look buy-worthy today include Atlantica Sustainable Infrastructure (NASDAQ: AY), First Solar (NASDAQ: FSLR), and Vivint Solar (NYSE: VSLR). Here's why you might want to buy them now.
