 Attendees in Atlanta represented a broad range of solar professions including non-profits, utilities, finance, installation and development, and operations.

The future is bright for women in the solar industry. In 2016, women represented 28% of the solar workforce. This is up from 18.7% in 2013 and is continuing to climb. Last year, the solar industry added 51,000 American jobs (now a total of 260,000 jobs) and grew at a rate 17 times higher than the national economy. Solar jobs have increased by at least 20% per year for the past four years. Here in the Peach State, Georgia is the 3rd fastest growing solar producer in the country. Event attendees had the opportunity to hear from women that are playing a key role in this booming industry.
