When you choose to go solar, you’re not just powering your home with clean energy—you’re also powering your local economy. Solar energy plays a big role in creating well-paying jobs and supporting businesses right here in California.
Let’s take a closer look at how the solar industry drives job growth and economic opportunity across the state.
1. Solar Is One of California’s Fastest-Growing Job Sectors
According to the Interstate Renewable Energy Council (IREC), California leads the nation in solar jobs. From system design and installation to sales and maintenance, the solar industry creates thousands of roles for skilled workers across all backgrounds.
2. Creates Local, Long-Term Employment
Unlike fossil fuel jobs that often require relocation or offshore work, solar jobs are rooted in the communities they serve. Installers, electricians, and solar consultants typically live and work locally, providing stability and boosting local economies.
3. Supports a Diverse Range of Careers
The solar industry isn’t just for engineers and electricians. It also supports roles in:
- Customer service and project coordination
- Permitting and utility interconnection
- Marketing, finance, and operations
- System monitoring and support
These opportunities span entry-level to advanced roles, opening doors to a wide range of career paths.
4. Drives Small Business Growth
Local solar companies—like Aicon Solar—hire locally, buy locally, and reinvest profits into the community. Supporting a local solar installer means you’re contributing directly to your regional economy, not a national chain.
5. Helps Build California’s Clean Energy Workforce of the Future
As California pushes toward 100% clean electricity by 2045, the demand for solar professionals will only increase. Training programs and apprenticeships are preparing a new generation of clean energy workers to meet this growing need.
