Jobs in the Renewable Energy Industry

In the United States, a solar power installer could earn between $40,000 and $50,000 annually. In fact, a solar power engineer could double the amount. The U.S. government provides $2 billion dollars as funding to the solar power sector annually, which is enough to ensure approximately 1500 jobs. In fact, statistics showed that by the end of 2009, there were already 95,000 people in the U.S. that had jobs relating to the solar power industry. California is where the solar energy industry really boomed, giving more than 30,000 jobs in renewable energy.
