US solar power growth accelerates The US solar power industry employs more than 100,000 people, twice as many as it did two years ago and more than the steel industry or coal mining, the industry’s trade group has said. In a bid to deflect some of the bad publicity the industry has attracted since the collapse last month of Solyndra, an innovative solar module manufacturer that was backed by a $535m federal government loan guarantee, the Solar Energy Industries Association is emphasising its job creation and growth. In its regular quarterly assessment, published on Tuesday, the SEIA says investment in solar power should add about 1,750MW of capacity in the US in 2011, up from 900MW last year. Employment has continued to rise, although more slowly over the past 12 months than in the previous year. ft.com
