Solar Panels
The Bureau of Labor Statistics projected “solar panel installer” to be the job with the largest percentage growth over the next decade — with the number of jobs more than doubling by 2026. However, that was before the Trump administration slapped a 30 percent tariff on imported Chinese solar panels earlier this year. And although that is slated to fall to just 15 percent by its fourth year, it’s still expected to increase the cost for residential solar installations by 3 percent and large solar farms by 10 percent.
