德国不断放宽移民法，吸纳国外高工熟工。
2月25日，德国总理奥拉夫·舒尔茨（Olaf Scholz）访问印度，会后的联合声明显示，德印双方希望进一步加强欧盟与印度之间的贸易关系，其中重点提到加强在农业和绿色能源方面的合作。
会后，德国太阳能产业协会（German Solar Industry Association）便和印度绿色就业技能委员会（Indian Skill Council for Green Jobs）在德里签署了一项联合协议。
据了解，德国未来每年需要新增超过20GW的光伏装机量（约2022年7.19GW的三倍），才能在十年内实现的该国的太阳能建设目标。然而目前德国乃至欧洲大量缺乏从事光伏系统安装的技术工人。德国光伏产业协会表示，如果仅靠本土培育相关技工，短期内仍然无法弥补安装短缺需求。
因此联合协议就涉及到计划从印度引进光伏安装技术工人。印度可再生能源部表示，将及时发起过一项培训计划，年轻电工在经过三个月培训后可以成为“suryamitra”（太阳能工作者）。如果德国联邦政府和德国太阳能工业协会能够合理安排，这些印度技工也将为德国的光伏扩建计划做出贡献。
迄今为止，印度基于庞大的人口基数，首期完成培训课程的“suryamitra”将会超过51000名。对此，德国国务秘书乌多·菲利普（Udo Philipp）表示道，“在德国为太阳能行业安排训练有素的专家对我们的能源转型非常重要。”
为了使国外技术工人最早在夏天就能抵达德国，德国太阳能工业协会整合技术专家、联邦经济事务和气候保护部、德国工商会、联邦就业局，和印度商会积极配合，依靠新的移民法，以促进外国技术工人尽快融入德国太阳能产业。
To Fill the shortage of photovoltaic installation workers, Germany introduces Indian skilled workers
Germany continues to relax immigration laws and attract highly skilled foreign workers.
On February 25th, German Prime Minister Olaf Scholz visited India. A joint statement after the meeting showed that Germany and India hope to further strengthen trade relations between the EU and India, with a focus on strengthening cooperation in agriculture and green energy.
After the meeting, the German Solar Industry Association and the Indian Skill Council for Green Jobs signed a joint agreement in Delhi.
It is understood that Germany will need to add over 20GW of photovoltaic installed capacity each year in the future (about three times the 7.19GW in 2022) in order to achieve the country’s solar energy construction goal within ten years. However, there is currently a large shortage of skilled workers engaged in photovoltaic system installation in Germany and even Europe. The German Photovoltaic Industry Association stated that if we rely solely on local cultivation of relevant technicians, we will still not be able to make up for the shortage of installation demand in the short term.
Therefore, the joint agreement involves plans to introduce photovoltaic installation technicians from India. The Indian Ministry of Renewable Energy has stated that a training program will be launched in a timely manner, allowing young electricians to become ‘suryamitra’ (solar energy workers) after three months of training. If the German federal government and the German Solar Industry Association can make reasonable arrangements, these Indian technicians will also contribute to Germany’s photovoltaic expansion plan.
So far, based on India’s large population base, the number of “suryamitra” who have completed their first training course will exceed 51000. In response, German State Secretary Udo Philipp stated, “It is very important for our energy transformation to arrange well-trained experts for the solar energy industry in Germany.
In order to ensure that foreign skilled workers can arrive in Germany as early as summer, the German Solar Industry Association integrates technical experts, the Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Protection, the German Chamber of Commerce, the Federal Employment Agency, and the Indian Chamber of Commerce to actively cooperate and rely on new immigration laws to promote the rapid integration of foreign skilled workers into the German solar industry.
