Published by Lucía Fernández, Jan 29, 2025

In 2023, the European Union's solar PV workforce amounted to a total of over 830,000 full-time equivalents (FTEs). This figure is forecast to grow in the upcoming years, reaching over 680,000 FTEs by 2028 under a low-ambition scenario. Meanwhile, under a high-ambition scenario, solar PV employment across the European Union could surpass 1.4 million FTEs by that same year.
