The continued expansion and adoption of solar panel installation is expected to create new jobs. As the cost of PV panels and shingles continues to fall, more residential households are expected to take advantage of these systems, resulting in greater demand for the workers who install them. The increasing popularity of solar leasing plans - in which homeowners lease rather than purchase systems - should create additional demand, as they no longer bear the upfront costs of installation.
