Solar
Projected growth for photovoltaic power generation systems is strong with installed global capacity increasing from 178 GW in 2014 to an anticipated 540 GW in 2019. This growth is led by Europe with an expected increase to 158 GW in 2019, while countries like the US and China are expecting three-fold and four-fold increases over that same time span. A November 2016 report by the US Department of Energy (DoE) further revealed that solar energy accounts for the largest portion of employers in the electric power generation sector, with wind energy being the third largest. In the US, solar energy employed 374,000 people or 43% of the sector’s workforce and wind energy an additional 8% between 2015-16, while globally 55 million people were employed by the solar industry in 2014. Overall, these numbers will only continue to rise, leaving tremendous opportunities for system designers and the products needed to support their growing demands.
