The Solar Foundation released data on the number of solar jobs in Nevada by city, county, and congressional district, revealing the economic impact of the industry on the Silver State. Nevada now ranks fourth in solar jobs and second in solar jobs per capita, with 8,371 workers in the solar industry. According to the statewide census, Nevada lost more than 2,500 rooftop solar installation jobs, but lost fewer than 400 solar jobs overall, thanks to growth of large-scale solar projects. The Nevada Legislature is considering legislation to restore more favorable rates for rooftop solar investors, increase the percentage of power to come from clean renewable sources, and allow community solar gardens, measures that would help grow the solar industry in the state.
