With worldwide growth of photovoltaics (PV), the production of solar energy has accelerated. In 2004, Taiwan’s solar cell production value was nearly NT$2.6 billion, and its global market share was 3%, while only 38.14 MW were produced. Talent is the foundation of any organization and it achieves its goals and development usually through educational trainings. This study constructed indicators of competence development in the PV industry based on literature review. A questionnaire survey among experts from industries, government, and academia was conducted and the Fuzzy Delphi Method was employed to investigate the development of PV professional knowledge and its indicators and to provide a reference for relevant future research. The findings can be applied in industrial, government, and academic policy making and accreditation mechanism.
