INTRODUCTION
The U.S. solar industry experiencedyet another record-breaking year
in 2015, with more than 7,400
megawatts (MW) of domestic
photovoltaic (PV) capacity expected
to have been installed an 18.5%
increase over the amount installed
in 2014 bringing total U.S. solar
capacity to nearly 27.5 gigawatts(GW).1
As the rate of capacity installation hasaccelerated, employers across the country
have continued to expand the size of theirpayrolls. This years sixth annual National
Solar Jobs Census found that the U.S. solar
industry employed 208,859 workers as of
November 2015, representing the addition
of 35,052 jobs, and a 20.2% increase in
employment over November 2014.Since The
Solar Foundation began tracking these numbersin 2010, employment in the industry has morethan doubled, growing by 123% and adding over115,000 jobs. Employers nationwide expectthis growth trend to continue through 2016,projecting to add nearly 31,000 jobs to the solarworkforce over the course of the year.

2New York Solar Jobs Census 2015
New York is experiencing strong growth in solarpower development, especially in the residentialmarket.2 By the end of September 2015, justunder 173 MW of new solar capacity had beeninstalled in New York, slightly more than the122 MW installed in the neighboring state ofNew Jersey, and substantially higher than the5.6 MW installed in Pennsylvania. Nationwide,New York has held the number two or threeposition in terms of quarterly residential solarinstallations since mid-2014.3
Though the state ranks a somewhat distantseventh place nationally in terms of totalinstalled capacity, its focus on the morelabor-intensive residential market segments(as compared with the non-residential andutility-scale segment) has contributed to itsranking fourth in the nation in terms of totalsolar employment. As of November 2015,8,250 workers were employed by the solar
industry in New York, representing 13.3%
growth since November 2014.4This total puts
New York ahead of neighboring New Jersey,which has nearly three times the installedcapacity, much of which came online during
very different policy conditions in the state.Employers in New York are optimistic about
the states maturing solar market, as they
expect to grow their payrolls by more than
11% in 2016.
The states solar additions have increaseddramatically since 2013. Residentialinstallations made up the bulk of New Yorks2015 capacity additions, growing from less than20 MW per quarter throughout much of 2013and 2014, to more than 40 MW in an averagequarter in 2015. Nevertheless, New York iscurrently projected to be surpassed by Texasand Georgia in total installed capacity over thecourse of 2016 as those state markets begin topick up and the New York solar market learnshow to balance the positive impacts of newrules requiring utilities to integrate distributedenergy resources with changes to how remotenet metered non-residential projects arecompensated.5
In February 2015, The Public ServiceCommission (NYPSC) adopted the newReforming the Energy Vision plan, which

has begun to restructure the traditional utilitybusiness model and created several policychallenges as well as positive opportunities
for solar.
6
The Order set a framework for utilitiesto function as Distributed System Platform (DSP)providers.7 In April 2015, the NYPSC issuedan order as part of the Transition Plan whichchanged remote net metering from monetaryto volumetric crediting which impacted theeconomics of those non-residential projects.8
In July 2015, state staff proposed a new ratestructure and utility business model to promotethe use of distributed energy resources throughprivate, non-utility investments.9At roughly the
same time, the NYPSC adopted a framework forCommunity Distributed Generation, with theirst phase beginning on October 19, 2015.10In July 2015, Orange and Rockland Utilities,Inc. iled a petition requesting an exemptionfrom interconnecting additional net meteringsystems, noting that based on applications itwould soon hit the 6% renewable energy cap.11In October 2015, NYPSC suspended caps on retailrate net metering for rooftop systems, avoidinga potential slowdown for solar development inthose territories.12
On September 22, 2015, multiple stakeholdersiled a petition with the NYPSC to changethe current true-up policy for net excessgeneration credits for residential net-meteredPV customers.13 The petition requestedthat the current policy, which only permitsresidential customers to have one opportunityto select a date to cash out their excess credits
at the avoided cost rate be amended to permitresidents to choose multiple cash out dates atthe retail rate.14The Public Services Commissionreceived comments on the petition and issuedan order on January 27, 2016, which denied thepetitioners requests, except for allowing utilitycustomers to select their preferred excess netmetering cash out date.15
In January 2016, New York Governor AndrewCuomo announced that the state will lead a 10-year, $1 billion program which will lead to 3,000
MW of PV installations by 2022.
16
As part of that
commitment, the Governor pledged another $4billion to support other clean energy inancingand innovation efforts that will help the statemeet its 50% renewable energy portfoliostandard goal by 2030. Governor Cuomo alsoannounced that the State University of NewYork (SUNY) public university system willinstall solar energy systems at all of the 64 SUNYcampuses by 2020.17
While the Reforming the Energy Visionprocess, as well as other important pieces ofthe implementation of the Clean Power Plan,will not be complete for some time, there isincreased certainty that New Yorks residentialand non-residential solar markets are set togrow in 2016.18 Accordingly, solar employersin the state are optimistic about employmentgrowth over the next twelve months, althoughtheir projected growth rate of 11.6% is far belowthe unmet prediction captured in the New YorkSolar Jobs Census2014 of nearly 30%.19
As of November 2015, 8,250
workers were employed by
the solar industry in New
York, representing 13.3%
growth since November
2014.

5,829 The New York solar industry employs 8,250workers at 631 companies throughout thestate. The state is ranked 4th nationally in solarjobs, and 21st in solar jobs as a share of thestates total employment. In 2016, employersexpect a continuation of the growth seen last
year of nearly 1,000 solar workers, adding
approximately 957 new solar workers to
payrolls over the next 12 months a growth
rate of 11.6%. By contrast, the states workforceas a whole is projected to grow only 0.9% duringthe same period.22
An overwhelming majority of New Yorkssolar irms (72.7%) report working primarilyon nonresidential solar projects, comparedto 21.8% for residential and 5.6% for utility-scale projects. Consequently, the proportion ofnonresidential employment (32.6%) is nearlydouble the proportion of such jobs within this
sector nationally. New York solar jobs associatedwith the more labor intensive residential projectscomprise a smaller share (44.4%) than such jobsnationally (63.3%).

Nonetheless, residential installations compriseda much larger share of new capacity in 2015
compared with non-residential (commercial).The smaller share of non-residential capacity, and
large number of non-residential irms suggeststhat many of the non-residential solar developers
in New York are installing capacity in other states.
The New York solar workforce is generally lessdiverse than the states workforce as a whole,with women (26.5%), African-Americans (4.0%),Latinos (7.4%), and older workers (13.5%) allrelatively underrepresented. However, many ofthese otherwise underserved demographics women, African-Americans, Latinos, and olderworkers are represented in the state workforceat higher rates than their counterparts in the solarindustry nationwide.
Veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces represent auniquely valuable source of human capital forsolar employers. With a proven work ethic and
practiced discipline, veterans bring a wealthof readily transferable skills and leadershipacumen to the industry. Through the Solar ReadyVets program, the U.S. Department of Energy ishelping the industry capitalize on this resourceby facilitating the transition from military serviceto employment in the civilian solar workforce.24
New York solar irms understand this value
proposition, with veterans comprising 6.7% of
the states solar workforce, compared to just
4.1% of the states total workforce, but they
are still slightly underrepresented in the state
compared to the solar workforce nationally
(8.1%).

Wages paid by irms in the New York solar industryare lower than those paid by solar employersacross the other states that comprise the U.S.Census Bureaus Middle Atlantic Division25and
the industry nationwide. Solar installers in thestate are among the lowest paid in the country,at $18.00 per hour.
Solar employers in New York and throughoutthe Middle Atlantic Division experience a
slightly higher level of dificulty on averageinding qualiied candidates to ill openings ontheir payrolls than other solar irms across thecountry. This is not unexpected, given that solaremployers in New York had high requirementsfor employment. The irms required that 92% ofpositions have related work experience, comparedto only 67% for irms nationally.

Just over 47% of New York solar irms reportedthat they receive all their revenues from solaractivities, which is similar to the national average
of 48.2%. Another 31.1% reported that theyreceive less than half of their revenues fromsolar activities, compared to 28.5% nationally. Asigniicantly smaller portion of the states solarirms (38.0%) work primarily with in-statecustomers than solar irms nationally (65.6%),though a slightly larger portion (6.3%) workprimarily with customers in a bordering state thansolar irms nationally (5.0%). This out-of-stateactivity helps to explain why a majority of irms
are focused on non-residential solar, yet more ofthe 2015 installed capacity was in the residentialsector. Many of the non-residential irms are likelyfocused on out-of-state customers.
As part of the 2015 Census effort, employerswere asked about the impacts of speciic existing,
pending, and proposed policies on their businessprospects. New York employers overwhelminglycite the federal investment tax credit (ITC) as
substantially contributing to their irms success,with 76.8% of respondents referring to it directly.The second most commonly cited policy is thestates renewable energy standard, at 54.9%.
The following section includes detailedbreakdowns of workforce data by sector. Whilethere are a number of New York solar irmsfocusing on manufacturing, sales & distribution,and other activities, these irms responded tothe survey in insuficient numbers to provide
statistically signiicant data for each individualsector. However, there was suficient data todiscuss the installation and project developmentsectors.

the installation sector nationwide (81.5%). Alarger percentage of installation irms in thestate are pure play solar businesses, receiving100% of their revenue from solar activities,than installation irms across the country. Thisdiversiication, both of business activity andcustomer base, may in part be a reaction byemployers to the recent uncertainty in the localmarket.

CONCLUSION
As solar installations continue to grow, so too will
the solar workforce. Nationally, solar employersexpect to grow their payrolls by 31,000 workersin 2016, a rate of more than 14%. While NewYork-based solar employers expect to growby a slightly lower 11.6%, the New York solarworkforce will likely remain within, or close to,the top 5 states nationally, and at the top withinthe Middle Atlantic region for the foreseeablefuture.
Given the numerous policy changes occurring in
New York, experts remain guarded about shortterm growth in the non-residential market;however, the residential market is expectedto continue to be a strong source of demand.Despite the new policy regime, the solar industryis likely to learn from and adapt to these newmarket forces. That process will be made easierby Governor Cuomos $5 billion commitmentto funding clean energy market development,education, research, and new inancing toolswhich will likely reduce the cost of solar and
attract new sources of private capital.
The Reforming the Energy Vision process can beviewed as a signiicant opportunity to the NewYork solar industry. There will be challengesespecially for non-residential projects.Nonetheless, the states policies are strong whencompared with other state regulatory strugglesregarding changes to net metering tariffs andnew fees on net metered solar installations.With the extension of the Investment Tax Credit,
growth of more advanced inancing productslike solar loans and Property Assessed CleanEnergy, falling solar costs, and ongoing state-sponsored development of new pathways fordistributed energy resources like solar, solaremployment in New York is expected to grow bysome 957 workers in 2016.
In order to sustain this future growth, it is
essential that New York employers have readyaccess to quality talent and skilled labor orenhance their on-the-job training offerings. Toachieve this, more focused and comprehensivesolar training efforts in-house, in-state,and across the country must be suficientlyemphasized. Albany is beginning to lead in thiseffort, with the recent announcement of theClean Energy Workforce Opportunity Program
bringing together public and private sectorentities to develop an industry-recognizedtraining and certiication program, but more willneed to be done.26If successfully implemented,these efforts would reduce the industrys
talent acquisition, training, and retention costs,increasing eficiency across the solar valuechain, and ultimately reducing costs for NewYork solar customers.
This research shows that the New York solarindustry is a source of economic opportunity,with the potential to create jobs that pay livingwages and are largely available to individualsof different backgrounds from across the state.Only regular reexaminations of the states solar
industry, its workforce, and the employmentopportunities presented herein will conirmthis potential is realized in years to come.
Solar employment in NewYork is expected to grow
by 957 workers in 2016.

The Solar Jobs Censusmethodology is the most
closely aligned with the Bureau of Labor Statis-tics (BLS) methodology for its Quarterly Cen-sus of Employment and Wages (QCEW) andCurrent Employment Statistics (CES). Like BLS,this study uses survey questionnaires and em-ployer-reported data, though ours are adminis-tered by phone and web, as opposed to mail.
Also like BLS, we develop a hierarchy of vari-ous categories that represent solar value chainactivities (within their broader NAICS frame-
work), develop representative sample frames,and use statistical analysis and extrapolation ina very similar manner to BLS. We also constrainour universe of establishments by relying onthe most recent data from the BLS or the statedepartments of labor, depending on which iscollected most recently. We believe that the cat-egories that we have developed could be read-ily adopted by BLS should it choose to begin toquantify solar employment in its QCEW and CES
series.The results from the overall 2015 Censuseffortare based on rigorous survey efforts that include287,962 telephone calls and over 44,220 emailsto known and potential energy establishmentsacross the United States, resulting in a total of2,350 full completions for solar establishmentsin the U.S. Unlike economic impact models thatgenerate employment estimates based on eco-nomic data or jobs-per-megawatt (or jobs-per-
dollar) assumptions, the Solar Jobs Census se-ries provides statistically valid and current datagathered from actual employers.
The survey was administered to a known uni-verse of energy employers that includes 68,494establishments and is derived from the SolarEnergy Industry Associations National SolarDatabase, as well as other public and private
sources. Of these establishments, 2,118 identi-
ied as solar and completed full or substantiallycompleted surveys.
The survey was also administered to a strati-ied, clustered, random sampling from variousindustries that are potentially energy-related(unknown universe) that include a total of ap-proximately 314,000 establishments nation-wide. After an extensive cleaning and de-dupli-cation process, a sampling plan was developedthat gathered information on the level of solar
activity (including none) from 12,765 establish-ments. Of these, 327 establishments qualiiedas solar establishments and completed full sur-veys. The sampling rigor in the known and un-known universes provides a margin of error forestablishment counts at +/-0.85% and employ-ment at +/-1.99% at a 95% conidence interval.
This level of national sampling rigor is mir-rored at the state level. In addition to the knownCensus, the clustered sampling in the unknown
universe is representative relative to establish-ment totals by size in each of the 50 states andthe District of Columbia. This ensures that eachstates employment estimates are accurate witha maximum margin of error under +/-5% at a95% conidence interval.
Due to the number of qualifying responses,some smaller states have higher margins of er-ror for non-employment related questions, suchas workforce and policy related questions, due
to the small universe of solar establishments ineach state. As a result, some state-level, non-em-ployment data is reported using regional aver-ages or have footnotes denoting small responsesizes.
