The New York State Assembly has approved the New York Solar Industry Development and Jobs Act of 2011, a bill that has the potential to make New York State a leader in Solar energy and create tens of thousands of high quality jobs within the state. The bill, which awaits legislative approval, lays a framework for long-term solar market growth and job creation.If passed, the bill would develop 5,000 MW of solar photovoltaics, create 22,000 new jobs, generate a $20 billion boost in wages and economic output and dramatically reduce New York's emissions of greenhouse gasses.
