1. DOE Solar Market Transformation Project http://www1.eere.energy.gov/solar/

2. Invest in the development & deployment of solar technology ! DOE Solar Market Transformation Project

3. Reduce barriers to solar implementation… #10 - Shortage of trained technical personnel & installers

5. Approximately 5,000 megawatts approved 1 megawatt - will power 700 homes capacity for 3,500,000 Large Scale Solar in California CSP

7. Concentrated Solar Power

8. 2.25 Gigawatts of PV Projected by 2017 projected in California alone 1,575,000 homes 1,575,000 homes

9. Near Rio Vista, Ca. PGE 2 megawatt field PGE 2 megawatt field

10. 4 megawatts

11. Each installation takes trained workers. Large installations in the desert… a driving force! Large installations in the desert… a driving force!

12. Residential PV Will Remain a Driving Force

13. Commercial

14. Solar Market Transformation Project ARRA Driven

15. A Well-Trained Solar Workforce is essential !!
