America’s solar and storage industry is experiencing rapid growth. Today the industry supports the livelihoods of more than 263,000 workers, and our workforce is expected to double in size over the next decade to nearly half a million jobs.
The latest National Solar Jobs Census shows that representation of veterans, Asian, Hispanic, and Latino workers in the solar industry outpaces the rest of the economy, and companies have made considerable progress welcoming more women to the industry. That’s good news, however, there’s more work to do as underrepresented groups must be at the center of the growing clean energy economy if we are going to meet our goals.
