We all know the lands are being sucked out dry consuming the earths natural resources, and hence the more scarce these resources become the more they cost to the consumer.
Technology is fast improving and if you’ve noticed as prices of solar installations are coming down as they get easier to produce. As the prices of fuel continue to increase, the jobs market continues to fail, people will gradually become less likely to afford Not to live self-sufficiently
In theory investing in Solar companies should be safe if your looking for a long term invest, or should it?

Seems you are right…This is a particular area which isn’t popular among investors, but it would be profitable deal if we invest today, because in near future renewable energy companies will lead the industry powerfully.
“This is a particular area which isn’t popular among investors” Whaaa? Which planet are you living on?
The problem with investing in any green technologies is that there is way too much money chasing too few productive investments. It’s hard to make any money in an environment like this. Investing in the sector as a whole doesn’t even make much sense to me because even if the technology is ultimately successful (and it’s hard to see solar power competing with fossil fuels anytime soon) there will be a huge wash-out rate among current players.
Everyone wants to make money investing in green technologies. It’s best not to invest in areas where it would be very stylish to make money.
Like Joey D said, too much money chasing too few investments.
THe market is just getting out of green tech bubble.
A lot of market have been created only thanks to government subsidies. Because some technologies are viable only with subsidies. Sometimes the subsidies are only to local companies.
It is a very difficult sector to analyze because the governments are involved.
In the long term it should be a good investment but will you be able to to select the few companies that will survive ?
No. Only silver or lead.
It’s an Overbought Bubble with no Earnings,..And you’re way late to the Party.
OPEC would purposely lower prices to marginalize your idea.
The exact opposite….most of these renewable energy investment opportunities are very risky. Haven’t you been watching the news ? President Obama gave the Okay for a Solar company to receive a 500 million dollar loan and after they got the loan the company went bankrupt. I would never invest in a renewable energy company for safety.
No, if you want a safe investment, put your money in an insured CD at a bank.
I’m a big fan of solar, and agree that it will become increasingly more important. However, food is important – in fact, vital – to life, and as population grows, there should be more demand for food. That doesn’t mean I will necessarily run out and buy agricultural stocks. Potatoes, rice, wheat, whatever are relatively straightforward to grow, and no player has a ruling advantage. Solar is kind of similar. Unless someone makes a huge breakthrough, the market is commodity. Startups have been claiming breakthoughs coming soon, but except for First Solar, I have yet to see any of the promises come true.
Suntech Power (STP), one of the largest if not the largest producer of silicon solar panels in the world, had a stock worth $ 90 four or five years ago. Now its $ 2.50 approximately. Is that cheap? Who knows. I’d put a few chips on that number but only if it was money I could afford to lose, and only with the full understanding that it’s gambling, not investing.
