Description (excerpt):

 

The brief report shows that the U.S. solar industry employs 13,192 veterans of the armed forces, a figure which represents 9.2% of all solar workers in the nation, exceeding the percentage of veteran employment in the overall economy. Importantly, the report also explores the challenges of connecting highly-skilled military veterans with positions in the solar industry that match their abilities. Because of the scope of this challenge, this report is meant to be an introductory look that warrants further data collection and analysis.
