> An electrician whose company advertises it installs solar panels gets counted as a "full-time employee in the solar industry" even if installing solar panels is a minuscule part of the business -- they are a full-time employee (of the company) and the company is "in the solar industry" because installing solar panels is a service it offers.
Not saying you're wrong, but where does it state this? I didn't want to download the full report to check myself as it asks for email/name etc and so it'll have to wait until I get home. But all I could find on that was:
"Since 2010, the National Solar Jobs Census has defined solar workers as those who spend at least 50 percent of their time on solar-related work."
Which could be taken either way.
As an extension, are you saying they define "solar related work" as working > 50% of your time for any company which is any part of the solar industry? And if so, could you tell me where they state that?
- diafygi 10y agoMy company takes the census every year (because we're in the solar industry), and it just asks if you're primarily in the solar industry. It also asks what other industries you're in and what the split is and how many of your employees do what split of work. So it's fairly detailed.
