Warnings for skills shortages and future decline in installations
Alongside the positive developments, there are some warning signs.
The industry organization Swedish Solar Energy warns of a lack of qualified workforce and issues with skills supply in the industry. The most demanded professional role is that of installers, followed by project managers, and all individuals with knowledge and qualifications in electrical work.
Furthermore, Swedish Solar Energy warns of a decline in installed installations in 2024 - partly due to a weaker economy and increased uncertainty among consumers.
