Power Up with Solar: Skilling Solutions to Stay Ahead of the Future
The future of green energy is bright, and we need your team’s skills to make it happen. As the European Union targets nearly 600GW of solar photovoltaic panels by 2030, there’s an urgent demand for skilled workers to lead the charge.
Did you know?
The number of employees in the solar sector grew by 39%, from 2021 to 2022. Solar employment is projected to reach 1 million within the next few years. Predictions indicate direct jobs could exceed 500,000 by 2027.
50,000 trained workers will be required for manufacturing to produce even 30GW of solar energy domestically, upstream.
Solar creates 1100 jobs per terawatt hour of power produced. By 2050, 4 million people could be employed in solar sector jobs in Europe.
Many solar industry roles, like construction and roofing, will become accessible through upskilling. Encouraging and facilitating lifelong training is essential, particularly for workers transitioning from other industries.
