Solar-powered Street Lighting: Paving the Way for Safer and More Sustainable Cities
Urban areas and cities, in particular, consume a significant amount of energy, but unlike rural regions, they have limited options for sourcing energy from renewable means. Additionally, expanding infrastructure in cities is comparatively complex.
Cooler Cities through Solar Energy: Combating Urban Heat Islands
Heat is becoming an increasingly significant problem in cities due to climate change. Greenhouse gases contribute to rising temperatures, leading to the creation of urban heat islands in densely populated areas with extensive concrete, steel, and glass structures.
Green Urban Planning and Solar Technology: The Ecological Footprint of Solar Panels from Production to Recycling
For a long time, the production of solar panels was criticized. However, the rapid technical development in many production areas and the performance increase of the panels make it intriguing to reevaluate the ecological footprint of solar panels today.
Sustainable Mobility: Towards a Solar Transportation Future
Electric mobility is a highly debated topic in Germany. However, there is widespread agreement that an alternative to gasoline and oil must be found to make transportation more sustainable.
