The aim of this paper is to present the changes taking place in the labour market in the renewable energy sector in the period before the COVID-19 pandemic and to show the opportunities and threats for this sector as a result of the changes taking place. Therefore, the factors shaping employment in the renewable energy sector, global employment in the sector and the role of the value chain in shaping the local labour market were analysed on the example of photovoltaics. Basic methods of descriptive statistics were used for this purpose. A SWOT analysis for the renewable energy market in the context of COVID-19 considerations was also carried out.(original abstract)
