According to the report, the coronavirus pandemic was largely responsible for the job decline. Companies, it added, had yet to fully recover from spring 2020 work stoppages and the ensuing economic recession.
Although the sector reported job losses, solar installations hit a record 19.2 gigawatts in 2020, with labor productivity jumping by 32% in the utility-scale segment, 19% in the residential segment and 2% in the non-residential segment. Elsewhere, the census found employment related to installation and construction accounted for 67% of all jobs within the sector.
The report comes against the backdrop of the U.S. targeting 100 percent carbon pollution-free electricity by the year 2035 and the Biden administration s $2 trillion American Jobs Plan. The president has claimed the latter will lead to a transformational progress in our effort to tackle climate change with American jobs and American ingenuity.

COVID Costs 300,000 Clean Energy Jobs; DOE Readies for Rebound
An analysis of Bureau of Labor Statistics data for 2020 shows the number of workers in clean energy jobs last year fell for the first time since 2015, according to a group of business leaders and investors who study those numbers each year.
The group’s “Clean Jobs America” report, released April 19, said about 3 million U.S. workers were employed in the clean energy sector at year-end 2020, down from 3.36 million in 2019. The group said the COVID-19 pandemic, its related economic contraction, and Trump administration policies “that encouraged fossil fuels over clean energy” contributed to a year-over-year loss of more than 300,000 jobs in energy efficiency, solar, wind, and other clean energy sectors.
