The European Commission has unveiled the European Solar Academy bolstering the continent’s expertise in solar PV technologies.

The European Commission has unveiled the European Solar Academy, marking a pivotal step towards bolstering the continent’s expertise in solar photovoltaic (PV) technologies. This initiative, under the Net-Zero Industry Act (NZIA), aims to address critical skills gaps in the renewable energy sector and support the EU’s ambitious green energy targets.

With projections indicating a demand for 66,000 skilled workers in the solar PV manufacturing sector by 2030, the Solar Academy seeks to train 100,000 professionals over the next three years. This effort is integral to achieving the EU’s renewable energy goals outlined in the European Green Deal and the REPowerEU Plan, ensuring industrial resilience and global competitiveness.
