Register for SITN Seminar: US Solar Market Trends and Installations 2014
The solar market, while relatively young, is an increasingly important and vital part of the American economy. What are the trends in this market, and what forces are at work? Which sectors of the market are strongest, and why? What are the prospects for solar energy in the near future?
Now in its seventh year, IREC's highly respected 2014 U.S. Solar Market Trends report answers these questions by providing public data on U.S. solar installations in 2013 by technology, state and solar market sectors. It offers insight on the major factors affecting the solar market, such as photovoltaic prices, strong consumer demand, available financing, renewable portfolio standards in some states, and financial incentives from the federal government, states and utilities. The report includes ranking of Top 10 States in several categories.
Join Solar Market Trends Report author and IREC Vice President Larry Sherwood and SITN for a stimulating hour on Thursday, September 18, 2014, 2:00-3:00 pm ET as he takes an in-depth look at PV installations in 2013, including growth trends by sector and state rankings for installations. If you're involved in the solar industry, or wish to become involved, this webinar will provide valuable information about the rapidly changing solar market in the U.S. The webinar is free, but you must register to attend.

The Solar Instructor Training Network (SITN) supports the professional development of instructors who train the nation's solar workforce on photovoltaic (PV) and solar heating and cooling (SHC) installations. The Network consists of a National Administrator and nine Regional Training Providers who will collaborate to develop model curricula and train local instructors. The network was developed to address a critical need for consistent, high-quality solar installation training across the nation and was funded by the U.S. Department of Energy for five years. It will provide community colleges, trade unions and other groups with high-quality training models and instructional support, in an effort to expand the nation's trained solar workforce and ensure a high standard for all solar installations.
The Interstate Renewable Energy Council, Inc. (IREC) is a non-profit organization that believes clean energy is critical to achieving a sustainable and economically strong future. To pave this clean energy path, IREC works to expand consumer access to clean energy; generates information and objective analysis grounded in best practices and standards; and leads programs to build a quality clean energy workforce, including a unique credentialing program for renewable energy and energy efficiency training programs and instructors. Since 1982, IREC's programs and policies have benefitted energy consumers, policymakers, utilities and the clean energy industry.
