The sun provides us with energy every day – free, climate-friendly and plentiful.
The sun is always shining, sometimes more, sometimes less. We’ve all gotten sunburned at some point, even though we thought it wasn’t that hot, right? And not just in faraway countries, but right here on our doorstep. It’s often irrelevant to our everyday lives, but the fact that the sun shines every day, the same for everyone, is breathtaking. What’s more, it costs absolutely nothing to lie in the sun and work on your tan a little. So why not use the same effect to make your own lifestyle more sustainable.
What is photovoltaics?
Renewable energies are on everyone’s lips in the face of the climate crisis, and this includes solar energy, the conversion of solar radiation (light and heat) into usable household electricity. We use electricity every day and pay for it, even though we could produce it ourselves for free in the long run – and in a climate-friendly way, too. All you need is a few solar panels on your roof or even your balcony. A few square meters of open space are enough to cover part of your electricity needs, reduce CO2 emissions, and save money.
The exhibition: Knowledge to take away
If you’re still unsure whether this could be something for your balcony or roof, how much it costs, and whether it’s worth it, then we’d like to recommend the exhibition “Photovoltaics – Solar Power – By Everyone for Everyone .” The exhibition answers all these questions and more on information panels that can even be sent by mail. This makes the exhibition ideal for churches, environmental groups, clubs, or community centers – as an information offering at action days, lectures, or in the foyer. You can also turn it into a campaign and place a group order at the end to order even more effectively and cost-effectively. Solar energy can be harvested almost anywhere these days. The exhibition aims to encourage and impart knowledge – in a practical, understandable, and motivating way.
Preserving the earth is always worthwhile – for this generation and even more so for those who come after us.
Summer and winter, sowing and harvest—as long as the earth endures!!! These foundations must not be shaken. Therefore, it is high time to focus on the energy we can harvest from the sun, to see this as a blessing, and to give thanks for the sun’s harvest.
– Andreas Krone, initiator of “Photovoltaics by all for all” and author of the book “Solar Thanksgiving”
Because one thing is clear: the energy transition will only succeed if we all participate. And photovoltaics, in particular, makes it easy for us – decentralized, scalable, and affordable. The exhibition shows how it’s done.
