SunDrops | collecting solar energy
Dezentrale Energieversorgung
Description
Access to renewable energy is often limited for private individuals in urban areas. While homeowners often already have access to photovoltaic solutions on their roofs, tenants are frequently denied access to such technologies. Existing solar modules for balconies are essentially the same as those for roofs.
SunDrops enables access to decentralized energy generation for tenants by utilizing balconies and offers a tool-free installation, lowering the barrier to starting their own electricity generation.
Its compact design aims to promote wide acceptance and makes renewable energy accessible to tenants as well.
By using existing spaces in urban areas, SunDrops contributes to the democratization of energy supply and active participation in the energy transition. SunDrops redesigns materials and surfaces for photovoltaics to fit into existing outdoor spaces.
