The amount of electricity generated by new solar installations this year is expected to be twice as much as the capacity added last year, enough to power 200,000 more homes, bolstering the market for clean-tech jobs, according to several studies unveiled this week.
The studies — all timed to the solar trade show at the Los Angeles Convention Center, one of the industry’s largest — are painting a rosy outlook for the renewable energy industry. article
At a time when local and municipal governments are struggling with cash flow, it’s notable that many continue to turn to solar power to provide some of their energy needs.

When small businesses decide to take part in the green movement, few do it with more passion than SolAirsoft of Gainesville GA. This business, recently open and locally owned, has made a firm commitment to recycling, utilization of solar power and is dedicated to help promote sustainable living.
Before opening their airsoft fields for play in the summer of 2010 SolAirsoft partnered with Southern View Energy, a Georgia solar installer, to provide solar power to their entire operation. SVE used the following products to design and implement the SolAirsoft setup:

Georgia could create 50,000 “green” jobs by 2016 and ride an environmentally friendly wave to a cleaner, more prosperous future, according to a thought-provoking report by the Georgia Department of Labor.
