Advocacy and Policy Recommendations

In recognition of solar PV’s immense potential for job creation, we have set a target of 10 million solar jobs by 2030, which will result in trillions of dollars in long-term, stable investments and multiple terawatts of PV generation. Our 15 policy recommendations, presented at the COP24 climate summit in Poland in 2018, can be summarized in the following points:
• Solar PV as a low-cost, reliable, clean energy source
• Solar PV as an instrument to alleviate poverty
• Solar PV to enhance energy security
• Build local solar supply chains to anchor the energy transition
• Promote internationally recognized codes and standards
• Put an adequate price on carbon
