The city of Wiesbaden has been using solar panels for years to make its buildings more environmentally friendly. This measure is part of the strategy to promote renewable energies and reduce CO2 emissions.

Why solar systems?

Solar systems convert sunlight into electricity. They are environmentally friendly and almost maintenance-free. With a long service life, they offer a cost-effective solution.

  • Climate protection: Solar systems help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
  • Energy independence: They reduce dependence on fossil fuels and external energy suppliers.
  • Role model function: They show how sustainability works and can motivate citizens to take similar measures.

Solar systems have been installed on the roofs of public buildings in Wiesbaden since 2009. These systems supply schools, administrative buildings and other facilities with electricity. The energy generated is either used on site or fed into the power grid.

The city is planning to install further solar systems on its buildings. It is also looking into new technologies and financing options to increase efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Solar systems are an important part of the energy transition in Wiesbaden. They help to achieve climate targets and create a sustainable energy future.
