With the rapid rise of the solar energy industry continues, job opportunities also begin to expand. The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy estimates that 1.1 million jobs could be created in the next 10 years through investments in energy efficiency technology. These jobs are contributing to the US economy as photovoltaic (PV) company’s site their manufacturing facilities near the expanding market grounds.
The US continues to be a fertile ground for the solar industry with many world leading solar companies taking up residence in the US. Many of the states continue to implement strong solar programs, further helping the US become a magnet for PV companies and manufacturers.
Outsourcing of solar manufacturing is not the way to go.
Manufacturing high quality technical products will ultimately raise the cost of solar panels. It is therefore important to have knowledgeable, experienced talent for the fabrication process and foreign labor in this area is not less expensive. Keeping solar manufacturing in the US not only will help lower the cost per kilowatt but also create millions of jobs for manufacturers, distributors and installers. Another benefit of keeping solar manufacturing domestic is the lower cost on shipping, thus further benefiting the environment. It creates a smaller carbon footprint of the product.
