SonneSammeln on a grand scale - a Profit for all
Solar parks are booming. The reasons for this are obvious: solar energy is the cheapest form of electricity generation today, it is widely accepted and particularly environmentally friendly. Photovoltaics is the decisive solution for converting our energy supply to be climate-neutral. So the prospects are good for local authorities, landowners and local people to take their future into their own hands.
