Students from the Lichtenberg Gymnasium build their own PV facility on Schuldach!

In an innovative project week, pupils from the Lichtenberg Gymnasium in Kassel installed a photovoltaic system (PV) on the debt. Together with the energy agency of the district of Kassel, Energie 2000 e.V. and Solocal Energy e.V., the project not only received green light, but also a practical insight into the world of renewable energies. district kassel.de reports that…

The project was an exciting experience for the students. Under the direction of their teachers Anna Schilling and Anne Wiehr of Solocal Energy e.V., they previously learned theoretical basics about solar physics, occupational safety and roof structures. In the end, they were ready to install 240 solar modules on the four -storey flat roof of class tract B. These modules use mono and polycrystalline solar cells and transform sunlight into electrical current, which is of crucial importance in energy production. Environmental Bundesamt.de adds that ...

Sustainable power supply and practical training

The new PV system will generate around 92,000 kWh of solar power annually, around 95 percent of which are used directly for school operations. This corresponds to an annual saving of around 43 tons of CO₂. An unbeatable contribution to environmental protection! How does that work? Due to the photovoltaic system, the students can not only shape lessons, but also help shape the future of energy supply. bfe.admin.ch emphasizes that…

Another advantage of the system is the practical mediation of manual skills. The cooperation with Solocal Energy e.V. enables the students to continue their education in areas such as self -construction of systems and the various professions related to solar energy. The Lichtenberg Gymnasium thus follows the successful example of the Herder School, which has already installed its own solar system.

a contribution to the energy transition

The project is not only important locally, but also represents a small but important building block for the // energy transition in Germany. The promotion of PV systems is carried out, among other things, through the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG), which provides for remuneration for new commissioning over 20 years. The costs for installation decrease over the years, which makes PV systems attractive for more and more households and schools. In addition, these amalize themselves after a year to two years, as reports environmental-undamt.de.

The initiative to form youth for a sustainable future is at the center of such projects. Energy transition is not just about technical solutions, but also about the formation of young people who actively participate in the design of an environmentally friendly society.
