The price of solar energy has dropped more than 60% in the last decade, making it a much cheaper and easier investment. The number of people employed by this industry is also on the rise--numbering 210 000 workers nationwide as of 2015.

The future of solar energy is looking bright. MIT predicts that, by 2050, current technologies will continue to grow and expand as the cheapest and cleanest way to generate electricity in an ever-growing global market for renewable sources of power generation.

MIT's study on renewables concludes that "solar electricity generation" has one major advantage over other low carbon options: it can be scaled up easily while still being cheap enough not only to compete with coal but undercut its price entirely.

Solar energy is on the rise and more people are investing. Between lowering electric bills, earning cashback with solar credits, or buying power from your panels, many decide it's worth looking into.
