    Sounds like exceedingly poor planning. A team of 3 can install a 7-10kW residential system in a day, or about 60kW/person-month. Or a 1MW utility system in a couple of weeks. This is 1000-20,000 workers that could have been trained any time since 2010 when it was obvious this was coming. Depending on utility/residential split or 0.3-6% of Austria’s unemployed population for 10x the solar installs Germany is making per capita.
