Qualified personnel is rare

This is because the industries anticipate a steadily growing demand for skilled workers in the coming years. According to the German Solar Association (BSW-Solar), over 120,000 people are already employed in the photovoltaic and solar power storage sectors in Germany. However, project developers, planners, and skilled tradesmen in particular are desperately seeking skilled workers. According to estimates by EUPD Research, this number is expected to grow to around 133,000 full-time positions by 2030. "Demand for skilled workers is particularly high in the highly qualified professional groups of engineers, journeymen, and master craftsmen specializing in construction electrical engineering, such as DC assembly, AC installation, photovoltaic planning, or construction management," says Carsten Körnig, Managing Director of the BSW-Solar.
