According to a recent report released by the International Renewable Energy Agency, nearly 11 million people work in the renewable energy industry worldwide. Around 3.5 million of these employees work for companies that deal with photovoltaics, the conversion of solar power into electricity.

The solar industry has the strongest position in the statistics, with another 800,000 employed in solar energy, which is converted directly into heat or cold, and 34,000 more in concentrated solar energy, an industry that builds large solar power projects that use mirrors and lenses to concentrate solar energy from large to small areas. An example of this powerful technology is the PS10 solar power plant near Seville, Spain .

Since the first analysis in 2013, the number of employees in the industry has increased 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 industries. Brazil employs 1.1 million people, mostly in the biofuels sector. Around 1.2 million people in the EU work in this sector, with solid biomass and wind being equally strong.
