One problem solar arrays have in West Virginia is not enough sunshine. The average is about two months of sunny days and another three with partly sunny days with cloud cover between 40%-70%. About 200 days of the year are overcast and cloudy. It's far from ideal for solar. 

Wind isn't ideal either, except May through July. 

Relocating other forms of energy, going from very labor intensive to the opposite, isn't doing much for jobs.
