Light House Projects for Solar Marketing

Through its four year-old Solar Roofs Programme for Foreign Market Development, the German Energy Agency (dena) helps German solar energy enterprises cultivate international markets for their products with support from the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (BMWi).

 

The dena-Solar Roofs Programme provides a framework for the planning and installation of solar thermal energy and photovoltaicAbbrevatied.: PV. Technology that turns solar energy into electricity via solar cells. power systems in promising foreign markets, often at German international schools or Goethe Institutes.

 

The initiative delivers training programmes and public relations and marketing efforts to accompany these installations. The goal of these ‘beacon projects’ is to demonstrate the high quality of German renewable energy products and systems.

German School Lisbon / Portugal

An installation on the roof of the German School in Lisbon produces 34,517 kWhAbbreviation for kilowatt-hour. 1 kWh = 1000 W over a time period of one hour. It is equivalent to 3.6 million Joules, or the amount of energy needed to increase the temperature of 100 litres of water by 10 °C. per year. A counter on the school building displays the current energy yield.
