The number of jobs in the US solar industry has risen by 6.8% year-over-year from August 2010 to August 2011.

Over 100,000 people are now employed in making, selling, and installing solar systems in the US.

These figures come from a new report by The Solar Foundation and they indicate where the job growth is coming from and from where we can likely expect more growth. The report also contains a list of the top ten states in solar industry employment.

Perhaps the most interesting fact in the report is that just 24% of solar jobs are manufacturing related. The rest is around installation, sales, and R&D or project development.
