WASHINGTON (7News) — We often talk about the benefits of going solar for your home in terms of saving money, financial benefits and of course a cleaner environment, but let’s not forget that in recent years we have also observed a real benefit for employment and the economy.

According to Wyatt Everhart, meteorologist and advisor for Solar Energy World, “Many of our customers first decide to go solar, primarily to save on their energy bills, help reduce pollution and increase the value of their property. resale of their house. But as important as these reasons are, we also cannot forget that this shift to a new form of power also creates a considerable boon for the local economy in these regions.”

The benefits of solar for jobs and the economy are also supported by statistics which show that, in each of the last years, the solar industry has employed more workers than the oil, gas and coal industries united. Additionally, as important as the solar industry is nationally, Wyatt points out that the economic benefits really lie in the same areas where installers like Solar Energy World work every day to build more economical systems, while still allowing local workers and even your immediate neighbors to earn a good living. He adds that this is just another reason why it is so important to “buy local” when it comes to purchasing a solar installation.
