Abstract:

Abstract. The growth of the U. S. and global solar energy indus­try depends on a strong relationship

between sci­ence and engi­neer­ing inno­va­tion, man­u­fac­tur­ing, and cycles of pol­icy design and advancement.

The mix­ture of the aca­d­e­mic and indus­trial engine of inno­va­tion that is Sil­i­con Val­ley, and the strong suite

of envi­ron­men­tal poli­cies for which Cal­i­for­nia is a leader work together to both drive the solar energy industry,

and keep Sil­i­con Val­ley com­pet­i­tive as China, Europe and other area of solar energy strength con­tinue to

build their clean energy sectors.

 

Key­words: Pho­voltaics; inno­va­tion; tech­nol­ogy trans­fer; green jobs
