The solar industry added 51,000 jobs, amassing 260,077 workers to the U.S. Market, as reported in the Solar Foundation’s 2016 annual jobs report. California leads the way with over 100,000 solar employees, the most of any state. More impressive is what’s in store for the future – With the advancement of technology, education, and advocacy, the solar industry is expected to grow 10% in 2017.
