Germany Doubles Down on Solar: Who Will Build All These Projects?

With demand for solar energy projects in Germany skyrocketing, winning a tender is no longer the hardest part — delivering it on time is. As the industry moves faster than ever, a shortage of qualified workers threatens to delay critical infrastructure. So who will actually build all these solar farms?

Germany’s First Solar PV Tender of 2025 Was Oversubscribed Twice Over

Germany’s Federal Network Agency (BNetzA) recently announced the results of its first solar PV tender in 2025 — and the outcome was remarkable.

  • Nearly 5 GW of project bids were submitted for a 2.15 GW tender cap, showing enormous demand.
  • The average bid price dropped to 4.76 euro cents/kWh, lower than any round since 2019.

The country now plans to double its installed solar capacity to 215 GW by 2030.

But Here’s the Real Question: Who Will Build All of This?

While the headlines focus on policy and targets, one crucial issue is often overlooked:

Germany doesn’t have enough workers to meet the rising construction demand — especially for solar PV projects.

Construction companies and contractors are already struggling to find:

  • certified electricians
  • steel fixers and assemblers
  • experienced PV installers
  • general laborers with a strong work ethic

Real Case: Saving a Solar Project from Delays

A client from Lower Saxony contacted us after winning a ground-mounted solar tender — only to realize their team couldn’t deliver on time.

We at ELWELD responded in 6 days, providing a complete crew:

  • 12 experienced solar installers
  • 4 licensed electricians
  • 2 welders
  • 1 bilingual foreman

The team arrived on-site on time. No delays. No paperwork hassle. Just execution.
That’s what smart staffing looks like.
