California is a Leader in Solar Renewable Energy Use

Friday, August 7, 2009

California has been a longtime proponent of solar energy use, which is a major component of the green movement currently sweeping the United States. A recent report from the Interstate Renewable Energy Council supports this fact. Their study shows that solar capacity in California increased by a third from 2007 to 2008, and now represents about two-thirds of the national total. Career opportunities in the green industry are increasing, especially for those with renewable energy training. Plus, the need for knowledgeable green workers is made even greater by President Obama's $150 billion dollar initiative to increase renewable energy use nationwide. What's more - California has two, statewide programs that offer rebates and incentives to those with rooftop solar panels. With savings from these government programs, not to mention the long-term savings on property cooling/heating bills, California residents are in a win-win situation to seek the services of a solar panel installer. California is a leader in the solar energy movement, but several other states are not far behind. For example, New Jersey is second to California with 70 megawatts. New Jersey also has a rebate program for qualifying commercial and residential customers who utilize solar arrays. There's no doubt about it - California offers opportunity to those seeking careers in the green industry. However, if "California Dreaming" isn't your thing, don't despair - green opportunities are available worldwide. Start off on the right track by enrolling in a renewable energy career training program. With a firm background in emerging technologies, you will gain a competitive edge in a growing industry that needs you.
