Why Consider A Career In Solar?
By 2035, the solar industry is expected to create 43,000 new jobs and contribute an estimated £70 billion to the UK economy annually. With UK installed capacity rising from 0.1GW in 2010 to 20.2GW in 2024, and the number of small-scale installations increasing from 25,188 to 1.64 million in the same period, a career in solar energy opens the door to one of the fastest-growing and most future-proof industries in the world.
Installation rates, investment, and workforce demand are all projected to accelerate even further in the coming years. This growth trajectory means strong job security and expanding opportunities across engineering, policy, business, data, and more.
It’s also a field where your work directly contributes to tackling climate change, making a real and measurable impact beyond just earning a paycheck. Whether you’re motivated by technology, sustainability, or social good, solar energy offers the chance to shape the future while building a career that’s both meaningful and forward-looking.
