The solar industry is a highly rewarding field to enter, with many opportunities for great career prospects and good wages.  According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), in 2019, the median pay for solar photovoltaic installers was $45,510 per year or $21.90 per hour. However, the amount of money you make can vary widely depending on experience, location, and employer. For example, in 2018, construction workers with six to 10 years of experience made $126,000, and those with 16+ years reported making $170,600. This could be due to the growing need for experienced solar installers and the resulting increase in salaries. Overall, the solar industry can be a very lucrative and satisfying career path for those looking for stability and high wages. With continued innovation in this sector, there will likely be plenty of opportunities for those looking to work in the solar industry in the coming years.
