Case Study: Solar energy promotion campaign in Berlin, Germany

Download Case Study: PDF Icon DeutschDeutsch | EnglishEnglish | FrançaisFrançais | PolskiPolski

Abstract

Despite greatly enhanced equipment quality and improved system efficiencies, neither solar thermal nor photovoltaics have yet succeeded in capturing appreciable market shares in Europe. However, thanks to political engagement on site, there are a number of good examples at local level. With its Solar Campaign, Berlin has set itself the goal of triggering a demand-side impetus for solar energy and thus helping this technology to achieve a breakthrough.

Keywords: Thermal solar and bioclimatic design; Photovoltaics

This case study was prepared by Energie-Cités in cooperation with the city of Berlin (Senate Administration for Urban Development), and with the financial support of the European Commission DG TREN within the scope of the ALTENER Programme.
