Alabama and South Carolina are much alike.

We both have large auto plants, airplane manufacturers and grow a lot of cotton and peaches. Our populations are almost the same size, with a little over 5 million people. But there is one big difference between the states: solar power.

According to the annual Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) Solar State by State Report, Alabama has 235 solar installations across the state, employing 716 people.

South Carolina? A whopping 33,104 solar installations and 3,393 solar-related jobs.
