SEIA is a 501(c)6 non-profit trade association. SEIA's sister organization, The Solar Foundation, a 501(c)3 non-profit charitable organization, oversees policy-driven research and develops education & outreach programs to promote the further development of solar energy in the U.S. [2]
The association supports the extension of a 30 percent federal solar investment tax credit for eight years.[3]
With the recent high flux of green jobs in the solar industry, SEIA maintains a resource for those looking for solar jobs.[4] The Harvard Business Review [5] that the solar industry could absorb all of the jobs lost to the coal industry as it shutters.
