Abstract
The solar energy sector has grown by leaps and bounds during recent times, and particularly in the tropical countries which receive ample solar radiation throughout the year. To meet the global demand for clean energy and sustainable development, many countries in the world have given great importance to renewable energy integration and tropical countries have deployed solar energy in a big way, in this direction.
Hiring involves an understanding of how businesses work, as well as the ability to discover and match suitable employees with open positions. Human resource (HR) personnel, who are in charge of the company's recruiting efforts, are continually up against new obstacles. Finding the best employees or potential candidates for a company is a major problem for these experts. The performance of any solar energy industry is greatly dependent upon the skills, competencies, productivity, and experience of employees working in it. As very little research has been done in this domain, this paper studies the various factors that affect the recruitment of employees in solar energy industries and makes recommendations to address various challenges which have to be overcome, in the process.
