Solar energy stocks are in for “a good 15-year run” in competition with other energy sources, blogger David Dodge suggested in a recent edition of the Pembina Institute’s Green Energy Futures.

Schnell cites four advantages for solar: photovoltaic module performance is constantly improving, the technology is already cost-competitive with coal and nuclear, rooftop solar has “no real enemies,” and it “can be easily adapted to its location.”
