UK Solar Jobs Boom: How SERT Is Training the Workforce for a Green Future

02.07.2025

Solar Energy in the UK Is Booming and So Is Demand for Skilled Workers

In June 2025, the UK Government launched its official Solar Roadmap, setting a target to increase solar power capacity from 18GW to 47GW by 2030 with potential to reach 57GW. This clean energy revolution will create tens of thousands of new green jobs across the UK, especially in the fast-growing solar power sector.

The government estimates the solar industry will support 35,000 UK solar jobs by 2030, nearly double today’s figures.

But here’s the challenge: Where will these skilled workers come from?

That’s where SERT, a leading UK-based training and recruitment company, is stepping in.
