Career Outlook
"Solar Technician (Installer) is a new
occupation that appeared only a couple
decades ago. However, with the
accelerated growth of the solar energy
industry, demand for qualified installers
and repairers in this field is quickly
growing. California, which has the most
aggressive solar program in the country,
presently accounting for 73% of all the U.S.
solar installations, is projected to create
3,578 jobs for Photovoltaic (PV) System
Installers and 780 for Solar Thermal
System Installers by 2015."
