National Solar Jobs Census

The National Solar Foundation has published their 11th Annual Solar Jobs Census. Though the pandemic led to job loss in the solar industry in 2020, record levels of solar capacity were installed in 2020. To keep up with the solar industry trajectory of “400,000 solar jobs by 2030, employment will need to exceed 900,000 workers by 2035.”

To help bridge the hiring gap, we are hosting the Clean Energy Job Fair this June 24th and 25th during The Energy Fair!
