The EU's solar energy capacity increased significantly from 164.19 GW in 2021 to 259.99 GW by 2023, with employment in the sector growing from 466,000 workers in 2021 to 648,100 by the end of 2022, representing a 39% increase. These developments are part of the plan, which targets over 320 GW of solar photovoltaic capacity by 2025 and nearly 600 GW by 2030. The growth in jobs suggests the possibility of exceeding 1 million solar workers by 2025, ahead. Developers deployed 65.5 GW of solar across the European Union in 2024, according to SolarPower Europe ’s “ EU Market Outlook for Solar Power 2024-2028.” The figure reflects 4% annual growth compared to 2023’s 62.8 GW of installations, a sharp drop from the 53% growth recorded between 2022 and 2023.
