Contractor's Corner: Sunshine Solar

More women are entering the solar workforce every day, but some areas of the industry are still underrepresented. According to The Solar Foundation, women only make up 26% of the solar workforce. In a largely mechanical and construction-related field, it is nice to hear of a woman-led solar installation subcontractor out of Georgia: Sunshine Solar. In this episode of the Contractors Corner podcast, Solar Power World woman and editor-in-chief Kelly Pickerel talks with Emilie O'Leary, CEO of Sunshine Solar, about her experience working in a male-dominated segment. She started the company in 2016 because she knew solar was a space she wanted to be in. We also have a bonus conversation with senior editor Kelsey Misbrener about Kent State University and women representation in solar. https://www.solarpowerworldonline.com/2020/11/contractors-corner-sunshine-solar/
