26 Qualification needs along the value chain Producer of solar components and supply industry: Engineers for construction and production, Experts for maintenance and service Project planning and project management: Engineers for site selection, system design, installation, grid connection Project developer for permission process and financing of projects Financing institutions and insurances: Experts with technical and economical knowledge for project evaluation and risk assessment 26

27 Qualification needs along the value chain System provider: Sales experts Merchants Buying agents Workshops (electricians, plumbers, roof builders): Installation of solar systems Grid connection and operation Maintenance 27

28 Qualification needs along the value chain Utilities and grid operater: Grid connection of solar applications Integration of photovoltaics to the energy supply Authorities: Experts with knowledge of technical-economical and ecolocigal issues for an efficient application process Political decision makers: Knowledge on the contribution of solar energy to the electricity supply and about avoidance of external costs Suitable frameworks for a development of solar industry 28

29 Resume Solar energy will be a more and more important technology for a sustainable energy supply The market growth of solar energy is strongy linked to well qualified stakeholders on all levels of the solar value chain Each nation willing to go into solar needs to build up training capacities for engineers, technicians and workers on educational and volational level Capacity building has to be adresses to all relevant stakeholders like engineers, technicians, financing sector, administration, lawyers and workshops. 29
