Solar energy: a growing market in Florida
According to new statistics, the State of Florida is living a solar expansion that continues creating jobs. Florida ranked the second position in solary employment during 2018, just behind California, acording to a report that The Solar Foundation published recently. This positive trend will be reflected in an employment grow estimated in more than a 60 percent through 2026, compared to the growth of about 10 percent that the rest of the American states will experiment during that period.
