The solar industry is one of the fastest-growing industries in the nation, and offers tremendous opportunities for both homeowners and workers from all backgrounds. In fact, over the past five years, solar has become America’s fastest-growing, nonpartisan energy source.
The Energy Information Administration has projected that the U.S. added 9.5 gigawatts of utility-scale solar power last year alone. That’s more than the previous three years combined. And from 2009 to 2015, the average price of solar decreased by over 70%, and advances in technology have made it much easier for homeowners and businesses to adopt it. In many places in America and around the world the cost of solar is now equal to or less than buying power from energy utilities like Exelon.
With 195 nations having made a commitment to renewable energy at the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference, solar power has left upstart status far behind and is an integral part of the world’s energy outlook.
