I need to write a report on how solar energy connects to my life directly. I want to know if that is basically the same as asking what would we do without the sun? Thanks

The market is currently down, and i was told it is a GREAT time to get in. I wanted to get into renewable energy stocks. what are some good ones, or where can i go to do some research on them? I don’t have to much to invest with. . Here are some stock i was looking into.

JASO
SOEN
CSUN
CSIQ
ESLR
SOLF
TSL
YGE
FSLR
ESLR
LDK
SPWR
ENER

I found theses stock of a "top solar energy stocks to buy" so what is good. Somebody give me advice, please.

I’ve heard that it takes water to power anything, so does it take more water to deliver electricity from renewable sources(solar,wind,geothermal,tidal) or from nonrenewable sources(coal,natural gas,oil)?

Please include web sources, this is for a research project.
(Does it take any water to TRANSFER energy from sources)

I did not mean does it take water to collect energy.
