Power Electronics Engineers In The Solar Inverter Industry: Salary And Hiring Trends

by David G. Morrison, Editor, How2Power.com

In this 5-minute presentation, I discuss salary and hiring trends in the solar inverter industry. To begin, I look at growth in the solar power industry and how this growth has produced numerous opportunities for power electronics engineers within companies that manufacture solar power inverters. With that as background, I present the results of a survey of solar inverter companies in which they were asked about the salaries they offer power electronics engineers and other EEs, the relative difficulty of hiring power electronics engineers, and plans for hiring of these engineers in the next five years.
