Solar and heat pump technology companies join forces against the shortage of skilled workers
The St.Gallisch-Appenzellische Kraftwerke AG (SAK) and Heizplan AG are working together to train skilled workers. The aim is to expand the supply of solar power in eastern Switzerland.
According to a press release , St.Gallisch-Appenzellische Kraftwerke AG ( SAK ) and Heizplan AG from Gams are founding a joint venture for the training of skilled workers. The background is the increasing order situation for photovoltaic systems, for which additional specialist staff is required.
As a result of the high demand for solar roof systems for single and multi-family houses as well as for commercial properties, customers have to wait longer for the craftsman. SAK and Heizplan want to tackle the growing need for additional skilled workers under a joint company roof. The first positions are to be advertised in the course of the week.
According to the head of the energy solutions and production divisions at SAK, Adriano Tramèr, who was quoted in the media release, the expansion of photovoltaics can be accelerated together. "By founding the company, we are pooling our strengths and supporting the energy transition in Eastern Switzerland – and thus the energy policy efforts of the Eastern Swiss cantons."
