to track key demographic and workplace experience metrics in the U.S. solar and storage industry.
The U.S. solar and storage workforce is expected to double in size over the next decade as clean energy policies in the Inflation Reduction Act take hold. This survey will capture the information needed to help industry leaders make data-driven decisions as the clean energy sector scales and its workforce grows as a result of the IRA.
The survey includes questions about job satisfaction, individual workplace experience, and whether survey respondents feel they have an equitable opportunity for promotion or advancement. The tight labor market requires prospective employers to take proactive steps to attract and retain workers, and this survey will help benchmark how the solar and storage industry compares with competing sectors.
“When we last surveyed the solar and storage workforce in 2019, the results showed we had a lot of work to do to improve representation, close wage gaps, and boost job satisfaction across the board,” said. “Since then, we have taken several steps to level the playing field by launching new DEIJ programs, building an equity and workforce development team, and creating easy pathways for our 1200+ members to follow suit.
SEIA is launching the survey on the first day of a record-setting RE+ 2023 and is challenging every worker in attendance to participate in the survey, which will remain open until October 6th., which will require employing more than one million American workers.Download Report:
