U.S. Solar Energy Industry COVID-19 Employment Impact Tracking Survey

Please answer all questions for the solar energy part of your business only.

All solar companies have been or soon will be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. This survey will help us catalog the seriousness of those impacts. Please take a few minutes to answer these difficult questions.

The situation is still changing. Please come back and complete this survey again if there would be a material change to your response.

Please respond to as many questions as possible. Informed guesses are fine but blanks are better than uninformed guesses.

Unless indicated otherwise, all information will be kept confidential and data reported in aggregate only. If we wish to use your responses publicly, we will contact you for permission first.
