Last week you got to meet Fabrizio Limani of Panasonic. Now it is the turn of Stefan Dietrich of Senec to answer our six questions:
1. How are you personally – and as a company – coping with the corona crisis?
The company is coping very well. Installations of PV and storage systems in Germany are not affected and our partners are setting one installation record after the other. In Italy the figures are slowly rising again as well. There are challenges in the supply chain to be mastered, but we have always been able to deliver.
Personally I have found out that I can work very effectively in the Home Office. That is something worth considering for the future. The family is healthy, and nursery school has opened up again, so we are coping well.
2. What are you enthusiastic about, apart from your company?
Solar energy, folk and country music, good food and craft beer. And most of all my wife and daughter.
3. What social media account or podcast makes your life better?
I love to listen to music programmes from BBC Radio Scotland. And some Facebook accounts like “50 Nerds of Grey” and “Dressed like Machines” make this whole situation funny.
And of course our new company podcast that I do, called “Mein Strom und ich” (“My Power and Me”).
4. Whom would you like to meet/have met?
I guess dinner with a great thinker like John Stuart Mill might be interesting. And Jerry Seinfeld maybe.
5. If you could change one thing in the world – other than the corona crisis, of course – what would it be?
I would eradicate the hatred and sheer stupidity that brings us nationalism, racism, homophobia and other terrible idiocies. We could then concentrate on important things.
6. What aspect of your company’s work are you most proud of?
That our solutions empower people by giving them the means to produce and use their own energy in a sustainable and climate-friendly way. Due to our work, home owners at least don't have to wait for politicians to do something, they can act themselves. (mfo)
