Economic Impacts of the US Solar Industry

The Solar Foundation 

CRA is working with The Solar Foundation on a research project to estimate future solar employment trends and determine the economic impacts of the US solar industry. This work will serve as an extension of The Solar Foundation’s (TSF) National Solar Jobs Census initiative. CRA is reviewing and assembling available data sources and developing the economic and fiscal impacts of the solar industry, including direct, indirect, and induced impacts. The study will then develop solar employment projections and recommend methods to use, disseminate, and further develop information included in the report.
