Why Solar Energy is the future: Innovation, careers, and sustainability

Solar power is one of the most sustainable and abundant energy sources available today. As the world moves towards sustainability, solar energy is playing a crucial role in reducing carbon emissions, lowering energy costs, and ensuring a greener future. According to the United Nations, cheap electricity from renewable sources could provide 65 percent of the world’s total electricity supply by 2030 , highlighting the growing impact of solar power in the global energy transition. Solar Appreciation Day is an opportunity to recognise the impact of solar power and the progress being made in renewable energy. At Piper Maddox, we are committed to supporting this transition by connecting the best talent with the companies driving solar innovation. Why Solar Energy Matters The sun provides an unlimited source of clean energy, yet the world has long relied on fossil fuels that pollute and deplete natural resources. According to the United Nations, fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas are the largest contributors to global climate change, accounting for over 75% of global greenhouse gas emissions and nearly 90% of all carbon dioxide emissions. With advancing technology and decreasing costs, solar energy is now a practical and affordable solution for businesses, governments, and homeowners. One of the biggest advantages of solar power is its environmental impact. Unlike fossil fuels, solar power produces no greenhouse gas emissions and significantly reduces air pollution. It also requires very little water to operate, making it essential in the fight against climate change. As the cost of solar panels continues to drop, businesses and governments are cutting energy expenses while creating jobs and driving economic growth. With the industry expanding rapidly, demand for skilled professionals has never been higher. New Developments in Solar Power The solar industry's rapid growth is driven by technological advancements that make solar power more efficient and versatile. One major innovation is floating solar farms, which generate clean energy on reservoirs and lakes while reducing water evaporation: an ideal solution for regions facing land and water shortages. At the same time, solar technology is being seamlessly integrated into everyday life. Photovoltaic windows and solar roofing materials now enable buildings to generate electricity without traditional panels, embedding solar power directly into urban infrastructure. Reliability has long been a challenge for renewable energy, but recent improvements in energy storage technology are solving this issue. New battery systems are making it possible to store excess solar energy during the day and use it at night, ensuring a stable power supply even when the sun isn’t shining. Driving the Future of Clean Energy Solar power is no longer a niche industry, it is now a key driver of the global energy transition. With governments setting ambitious renewable energy targets and businesses turning to solar to reduce costs and emissions, the industry is expanding at an unprecedented rate. Beyond economics, solar energy is also creating a more resilient power grid. As extreme weather events become more common, decentralised solar installations - such as rooftop solar and microgrids are helping communities maintain access to electricity even during power outages. With demand for solar energy accelerating, the industry is facing a major challenge: finding the right talent to support its rapid expansion. At Piper Maddox, we partner with businesses across the entire solar value chain, ensuring they have the right people to drive innovation and growth. If you’re ready to take the next step in your solar energy career or are looking to build a team that can drive real impact, we can help! Let’s power the future, together.

Accelerating Action: Women in Clean Energy and Sustainability

The clean energy sector thrives on innovation and progress. Every breakthrough in renewable energy, electric vehicles, and sustainable infrastructure comes from those who push boundaries. Yet, despite the critical role women play in shaping the industry, gender disparities persist. This International Women’s Day, we’re celebrating the women accelerating action, driving change, and leading the way in clean energy. Why Gender Diversity in Renewable Energy and Sustainability Matters A sustainable future depends on diverse perspectives, inclusive leadership, and equitable opportunities. Women bring fresh approaches to problem-solving, drive meaningful change, and foster more comprehensive, long-term solutions in the energy sector. Yet, challenges persist as women represent only 32% of the global renewable energy workforce, and leadership positions remain largely male-dominated. By accelerating action toward gender diversity, the industry can unlock new ideas, stronger policies, and greater innovation, ensuring the future of energy is powered by the best talent, regardless of gender. Women Driving Change at Piper Maddox To mark International Women’s Day, we spoke with several inspiring women at Piper Maddox, each making a significant impact in clean energy recruitment and industry leadership: What led you to pursue a career in clean energy recruitment? For Lucy Henry, Divisional Manager at Piper Maddox in London, the journey into clean energy recruitment was fueled by a desire to contribute to a meaningful industry. Having started her career in compliance and financial crime within financial services, she wanted to transition into a field where she could make a tangible difference. "Clean energy felt like the right place both in terms of my personal purpose and the opportunity to drive meaningful impact in the team," she explains. The presence of strong female leaders within the space further solidified her decision. Similarly, Kylie Leberman, Team Lead (Solar & Energy Storage) of Piper Maddox in Miami, found herself drawn to recruitment after working in product and software sales. "During the pandemic, pushing products onto small businesses that were barely staying afloat didn’t sit well with me," she recalls. Transitioning to recruitment allowed her to build meaningful relationships while contributing to a more sustainable future. Despite challenges in a traditionally male-dominated sector, she sees ample opportunities for women to reshape the industry through networking and leadership. How have you seen the role of women in clean energy evolve over the years, and what excites you most about the future? Kylie Leberman has witnessed a significant shift in gender representation since she first entered the industry. "When I started, there were fewer women in leadership roles, and the sector often felt male-dominated," she says. Over the past four years, however, she has seen progress, not just in the number of women entering the field but also in their growing presence at the executive level. "What excites me most is that we’re moving from just talking about diversity to actively implementing policies and programs that support it. More women in leadership means a more inclusive, innovative, and resilient industry.” What skills or qualities do you believe are essential for the next generation of female professionals in this field, and how can they develop them to succeed? For Caitlin McCarley, Divisional Manager of Piper Maddox (UK & Ireland Onshore Renewables) in Bristol, passion is key. "I think the most essential quality for the next generation of women in clean energy is passion for the space. It's such an interesting field that having a drive for a sustainable future and a passion for the technology is crucial for success," she notes. Alongside passion, adaptability and strong communication skills are also vital. "For developing these skills, it's crucial that we lean on each other and provide support across the industry." Who has been an inspiration or mentor in your career, and how has their influence helped shape your path? Having strong female mentors has been instrumental in Kylie Leberman’s career. "I’ve been fortunate to have been surrounded by some exceptional female leaders both from the clean energy industry and outside of it," she shares. "Two strong female leaders from within our business that have really guided me in this career thus far have been Samantha Keay and Carmon Lamolda. Both are incredible leaders who are always willing to support you and teach you but also have paved the way for women in this business like me to take on different and exciting roles that had previously been more male-heavy." What’s one piece of career advice you’ve received that has helped you succeed? "One of the best pieces of advice (life or career) I’ve received is: 'Stay focused on what you can control,'" says Lucy Henry. "Rather than getting stuck on external challenges, I’ve learned to take ownership of my actions and look for ways to continuously improve. Every experience, whether it be success or failure, is an opportunity to learn and grow. By adopting this mindset, I’ve been able to navigate challenges with as much resilience and confidence as I can." Empowering the Next Generation of Women in Renewable Energy Progress depends on removing barriers, creating opportunities, and supporting the women driving change. A future shaped by diverse talent is a future of limitless potential. At Piper Maddox, we are committed to championing diversity, connecting top professionals with organisations that share our vision, and accelerating action toward a more inclusive, innovative, and sustainable world. Whether you're looking to advance your career or attract top talent in clean energy, Piper Maddox is ready to help. Contact us today and take action!

The talent shortage remains a significant hurdle, particularly in battery R&D and gigafactory manufacturing, with some facilities requiring thousands of skilled professionals to meet production targets. The discussion also highlighted that visa policies could become a challenge for hiring international specialists in the future, though the impact remains uncertain. This uncertainty reinforces the need for companies to prioritise attracting and securing domestic talent, ensuring the energy storage market growth continues without disruptions caused by labour shortages. By connecting exceptional talent with forward-thinking companies, Piper Maddox is driving innovation and sustainability in the battery industry. As we celebrate National Battery Day, let’s acknowledge the critical role batteries play in building a cleaner, greener future and the workforce that powers this transition.
