Solar energy for people and the climate
We use the unlimited and freely available power of the sun twice: We want to give everyone access to electricity and thus opportunities for development. At the same time, we use solar energy to protect the climate and preserve the planet for future generations.
Opportunities
for all
Solar energy offers millions of children and adults the chance to learn in the evenings, to use modern technologies or to cool vital drugs.
This is because more than half the population south of the Sahara still has no electricity, and only solar energy offers a decentralised and increasingly cost-effective solution here.
Sustainable climate protection
Only with solar energy can additional growth and development take place without further driving global warming.
This is because the demand for electricity will and must increase many times over in many regions in the coming decades.
