Europe's Solar and Battery Storage Sectors Create 1 Million Jobs
In 2025, Europe’s solar and battery storage sectors generated nearly one million jobs, with solar photovoltaics contributing 874,000 FTEs and battery storage 108,000. The growth arose from strong renewable energy deployment despite manufacturing challenges. By 2030, workforce projections indicate a decline, driven by productivity improvements, alongside suggested training and reskilling initiatives to support clean energy transition.
Solar and storage accounted for nearly 1 million EU jobs in 2025
Solar and battery storage supported 982,000 jobs in the EU in 2025, with PV accounting for 874,000 positions. Solar employment is expected to decline by 2030 as deployment slows, despite growth in operations, maintenance, manufacturing and recycling jobs.
In his new study, Solarpower Europe has reached 982,000 jobs in the solar and storage industry last year, with 874,000 jobs in photovoltaics. However, employment in the solar sector is expected to decline by 2030, with the number of jobs in the areas of operation, maintenance, manufacturing and recycling increasing.
