The First Trust Nasdaq Clean Edge Green Energy Index Fund (NASDAQ: QCLN) is another good renewables option, and if you'd like to limit your focus to just solar energy, the Invesco Solar ETF (NYSEMKT: TAN) works well. There's a simple solution: Just own a basket of renewable energy stocks -- like an exchange-traded fund (ETF) -- that someone else monitors and updates as needed. Case in point: The Inflation Reduction Act that became law last year offers homeowners considerable tax credits for installing or improving solar power systems -- up to 30% of their total cost.
