3 Solar Stocks Poised for Growth in 2025

A global clean energy revolution is gaining momentum, driven by proactive government initiatives. At the heart of this transformation lies the booming solar energy market, which has witnessed remarkable growth in recent years. With continued support and visionary policies, solar power is set to soar even higher in the years ahead.

Considering this backdrop, investors could scoop up shares of fundamentally stable solar stocks, Enphase Energy, Inc. (ENPH), Emeren Group Ltd (SOL) and Array Technologies, Inc. (ARRY). These stocks are well positioned for growth in 2025.

The clean energy industry fuels hundreds of billions in economic activity while championing sustainability and environmental stability. Leading this transformative wave is solar energy, a cornerstone in the journey toward a greener, cleaner future.

The U.S. solar market is achieving new heights, with the second quarter of 2024 setting a record 9.4 GW of installed capacity, a 29% increase from the previous year, according to SEIA. Over the next five years, the industry is projected to consistently install at least 40 GW annually, driving a steady 4% average growth.

Government initiatives have played a crucial role in propelling this growth. Notably, President Biden’s Federal Sustainability Plan aims to slash U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by 50–52% from 2005 levels by 2030.

The Inflation Reduction Act further propels the solar industry forward by lowering energy costs for consumers and small businesses. With the clean energy economy and manufacturing sectors thriving, this initiative is a cornerstone in driving the solar sector’s growth and bolstering its long-term impact.

Now, considering these positive trends, let us dive deep into the fundamentals of three Solar stocks, starting with #3.
