Here’s the complete list of all the solar companies’ stock that’s listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) as of 09/23/20.

We put it together at Carbon Collective because we wanted to find a way to [invest in all of the companies building solutions to climate change](/content/drawdown/index.html). From [renewable energy stocks](https://www.blog.carboncollective.co/renewable-energy-stocks/), to [LEDs stocks](https://www.blog.carboncollective.co/led-stocks//), to [recycling stocks](https://www.blog.carboncollective.co/recycling/).

For humanity to stop climate change, we need to dramatically expand the use of solar power. According to [Project Drawdown](https://drawdown.org/solutions/table-of-solutions), each of the following has the potential to reduce global carbon emissions significantly:

- [Utility scale solar](https://drawdown.org/solutions/utility-scale-solar-photovoltaics): 42 – 119 gigatons CO2e reduction potential
- [Concentrated solar](https://drawdown.org/solutions/concentrated-solar-power): 18 – 23 gigatons of CO2e reduction potential
- [Distributed (residential/commercial solar)](https://drawdown.org/solutions/distributed-solar-photovoltaics): 28 – 68 gigatons of CO2e reduction potential.
