"For small to medium to national organizations, for events and fundraisers of any size, in any format – live, virtual or hybrid – the platform is built for scale."

The U.S. solar industry continues to expand, with its workforce growing by 22 percent in the past year, according to a report the Solar Foundation released Thursday. Since 2010 solar employment has almost doubled from 93,000 jobs to 173,807.

"It’s just really indicative of a very strong, increasingly mature, increasingly specialized and consolidated and global industry," said Andrea Luecke, executive director of the Solar Foundation.
