The power of the sun
Solar energy as a pillar of the energy transition
The sun stands for all life and growth on our earth. We owe large amounts of energy to its rays, as well as other energy sources such as wind or hydropower. In the lifetime of man, the energy of the sun is considered inexhaustible. It is available to us all year round even when the sun's rays are low. With the help of solar cells, solar energy is converted into electricity and made directly usable for us. Thanks to their versatility, photovoltaic systems can be used in various areas.
The combination of solar and wind energy favours a more steady energy supply based on renewable energies. Due to the oppositely favourable weather conditions of both forms of energy, fluctuations over the course of the year can be balanced out. At the German and European level, this minimises power failures in the electricity supply. This is why, in addition to wind energy, we advocate an environmentally compatible expansion of solar energy. In this way, we support the stabilisation of the energy supply in the country.
