The solar power industry has never been in as strong a position as it is at the start of 2020. Whether it's being generated by a rooftop system or a utility-scale power plant, solar energy is now cost-competitive with fossil fuels in most of the country, and has a bright future around the world.
I think the residential solar industry will have another record year in 2020 as solar becomes cost-effective for even more U.S. consumers. And that's why my top solar energy stocks to buy right now -- Vivint Solar (NYSE: VSLR), SolarEdge Technologies (NASDAQ: SEDG), and SunPower (NASDAQ: SPWR) -- are all big players in that segment of the industry.
