The German Solar Industry Association and the Indian Skill Council for Green Jobs also signed an agreement in Delhi, India recently, following German Chancellor Olaf Schulz's visit to India.

It is understood that if Germany wants to achieve the solar energy target set ten years later, the country needs to add three new photovoltaic installed capacity of 7.19GW in 2022 every year. However, like the rest of Europe, the country currently lacks skilled workers to work on photovoltaic systems. The German Photovoltaic Industry Association stated that Germany alone cannot make up for the shortage and therefore plans to bring in skilled workers from India.

Under a training program launched by India's Ministry of Renewable Energy, young electricians can become "suryamitra" (solar workers) after three months of training. So far, 51,000 "suryamitra" have completed the training course. If the German Federal Government and the German Solar Industry Association make reasonable arrangements, these Indian technicians will also contribute to Germany's photovoltaic expansion plan.

"Having trained specialists for the solar industry in Germany is very important for our energy transition," said German State Secretary Udo Philipp.

The German Solar Industry Association, in cooperation with "Hand-in-Hand for International Talent", integrates technologists, with funding from the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection, the German Chamber of Industry and Commerce, the Federal Employment Agency and the Indian Chamber of Commerce to further facilitate the integration of skilled foreign workers German solar industry. Relying on new immigration laws, skilled workers are expected to arrive in Germany in the summer.
