The photovoltaic sector is experiencing significant job losses, with over 220,000 workers leaving the industry in recent years. This widespread reduction in force is driven by substantial financial losses across numerous companies, forcing even R&D departments to downsize. While production staff have been most affected, technical roles are also seeing cuts, creating an awkward position for skilled personnel. The energy storage sector, conversely, faces a growing talent shortage, highlighting a critical need for workforce transition pathways. This situation raises questions about the long-term sustainability of relying on layoffs to navigate industry downturns.
