According to a report recently published by the International Renewable Energy Agency,<\/a> almost 11 million people worldwide work in the renewable energy sector. Around 3.5 million of these employees work for companies involved in photovoltaics, the conversion of solar power into electricity. <\/p>\n

The solar industry has the strongest position in the statistics, with another 800,000 employed in solar energy that is directly converted to heat or cooling, and 34,000 more in concentrated solar power, an industry that builds large solar power projects using mirrors and lenses to concentrate solar energy from large areas to small areas. One example of this powerful technology is the PS10 solar power plant near Seville, Spain<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Since the first analysis in 2013, the number of employees in the industry has risen from 5.7 million to around 11 million in 2018. The country with the most jobs is China, with just over 4 million employees in its strong photovoltaic and wind power industry. Brazil employs 1.1 million people, mainly in the biofuels sector. Around 1.2 million people in the EU work in this sector, with solid biomass and wind being equally strong. <\/p>\n
