| Even though 2020 was a difficult year, according to a recent report, the U.S. solar market managed to install a record 19.2 GW of solar capacity – an increase of 43% over 2019, with solar continuing to lead the way in new electricity generating capacity! Furthermore, solar PV is forecasted to quadruple over the next decade in all market segments. Prepare yourself for a growing and ever-evolving solar industry by cultivating your knowledge with SEI’s upcoming April online courses! |
