In 2021, the solar PV industry employs 4.3 million people—one-third of all renewable energy jobs worldwide. Women account for 40% of this number. It is almost double the share of women employed in the wind industry (21%) and the oil and gas sector (22%).
Another notable initiative bringing women into the industry is Solar Sister, a non-profit social enterprise covering sub-Saharan Africa that recruits and trains entrepreneurs to set up their own businesses distributing solar products.
Additionally, there is a wide space for women to take over more decision-making positions, as they currently hold 30% of managerial jobs and barely 13% of senior management posts in the solar PV industry.
IRENA's research highlights the main obstacles women face in the solar industry: namely, social and cultural norms around gender. This begins at an educational level.
