The tech sector gets a lot of pushback on its lack of diversity. As the solar industry we should be a bit more self reflective on this topic. Statistically, solar does okay but if you have been to the latest solar conference, I wouldn’t say we are doing that great. We have to do more as an industry to empower women and minorities to join our sector and welcome everyone to be passionate promoters of producing more solar energy. Do what you can to support the groups like WISE and promote within your company that diversity matters.
