The new Special Edition on the decentralised generation and use of solar power in agriculture has been published. It is available to download free of charge.
The company BMZ is launching the Power4home storage unit on the market. The home storage system offers households with photovoltaic systems self-sufficiency from the power grid, even if power generation and power demand are at different times.
Elio offers planning, consulting and key components for solar-electric buildings. The overall concept for a highly independent energy supply in new and existing buildings is based on digitally controlled infrared heaters, a domestic hot water heat pump and photovoltaics.
The German company Technaxx has developed the 4G Wildcam, a wildlife camera trap that is fully self-sufficient because it is powered by a solar panel and fitted with a rechargeable battery.
The so-called autarky boiler is now available in three sizes from Timo Leukefeld. Thanks to the ingenious technical concept, it also saves landlords time and money, as the decentralised boiler eliminates the obligation to monitor for legionella.
The Bi-Clever pilot project has now shown that the degree of self-sufficiency of solar system owners with e-cars can more than double through bidirectional charging. A stationary battery storage system actually increases the self-sufficiency to 59 per cent.
The performance after one year of the first completely solar-electric building has surpassed all expectations. The new company building of My PV is not only supplied with 60 per cent of its own solar power, but actually made almost 16,000 euros in profits.
The date for the trade fair for the decentralised supply of green energy to farms has been set. Exhibitors and participants should keep the middle of free.
Photovoltaics for generating one's own electricity is becoming increasingly popular on farms. Farmer Alexander Kuhn, for example, has installed a self-power system consisting of photovoltaics and a storage unit with Kostal technology on his 70-hectare farm.
The Zott dairy in Günzburg in Bavaria has significantly reduced its electricity costs: in May of last year, a high-performance storage system was installed to relieve the load on the grid. The system was planned to be crisis-proof and redundant.
Solar power system with Panasonic HIT modules with an output of 9.92 kilowatts on a shed roof with a northern orientation generates a high yield similar to that of a south-facing roof ++ 74 percent self-sufficiency through solar power in a single-family home.
Analysts, politicians and media representatives do not embrace visions until entrepreneurs have paved the way for them. Until then, the visionary is a crank.
