SEIA is a 501(c)(6) nonprofit trade association. The association supports the extension of a 30 percent federal solar investment tax credit for eight years.[4]

With the recent high flux of green jobs in the solar industry, SEIA maintains a resource for those looking for solar jobs.[5] The Harvard Business Review[6] claims that the solar industry could absorb all of the jobs lost to the coal industry as it shutters. By 2016, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, the solar industry employed more workers in the energy generation industry than all fossil fuels (oil, coal, and natural gas) combined.[7]

An independent but strategically aligned organization, The Solar Foundation, is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization which develops education anf outreach programs to promote the further development of solar energy in the U.S.[8]
