Key findings:

  • Doubling of jobs by 2011.
  • Industry shortage of installers right now.
  • By 2011 there will also be a shortage of system designers, project managers and engineers.
  • Recommendation to increase training and relevant curricula.

My guess is that most of these shortages and job opportunities will be created in Ontario, given the province’s Green Energy Act and progressive feed-in tariff program.
