The development of Poland’s solar market will allow for a constant level of employment to be maintained in the country over the next 15 years, according to new research.
A research team from the AGH University of Krakow utilized data from the Central Statistical Office of Poland and the Energy Transition Observatory to analyze the development of Poland’s PV industry between 2026 and 2040. The findings are available in the research paper On economic and environmental effects of expanding PV deployment in Poland, available in the journal Scientific Reports.
Corresponding author Łukasz Lach told pv magazine that the paper is the first attempt to assess quantitatively the size and development potential of the photovoltaic market in Poland under different installation capacities and market scenarios.
