Photovoltaics
In photovoltaics, solar radiation is converted into electrical energy by solar cells directly and emission-free.
About solar
Solar energy is versatile: it can be used either directly as power and heat or indirectly in the form of wind energy, bioenergy or hydropower. This page provides key information on photovoltaics (electricity) and solar thermal.
Solar thermal
Solar panels harness the sun’s energy directly to heat water.
Solar construction
The aim of solar construction is to create buildings that ensure maximum comfort for their users while making the best possible use of the sun’s potential and minimizing energy consumption. Therefore, the idea is to develop solutions that are formally of excellent quality and convincing in terms of design.
