Women now compose one fifth of the workforce in the US solar energy business. The Solar Foundation’s National Solar Jobs Census 2014 features current information on solar employment and workforce trends. It found 173,000 people employed in the solar energy industry in the US in 2014, in addition to increasing levels of women. Another observation: “Demographic groups such as Latino/Hispanic, Asian/Pacific Islander, and African American, along with women and veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces now represent a larger percentage of the solar workforce than was observed in Census 2013.”
