Win a photovoltaic system worth 20,000 euros!

Krone, Österreich - On May 29, 2025, there are two exciting competitions in the area of ​​renewable energies. The initiative of Krone Sonne is aimed at everyone who wants to invest in solar energy. As part of a competition, a fully installed photovoltaic system is raffled off. This has an output of 6 kWp and a memory of 7.7 kWh. The price that can be obtained from participation has a total value of around 20,000 euros. This price also contains the EnergiQ app, which helps users optimize their energy consumption. The closing date for participation for this competition is June 22nd at 9:00 a.m. Interested parties can register on the krone.at website. This reports krone.at .

Another competition is organized by the German Environmental Aid (DUH). The participants have the chance to win one of ten balcony power plants. These compact photovoltaic systems are intended for the installation on balconies and are characterized by simple handling, but do not require any high investments. The winning of a balcony power plant not only promotes personal energy generation, but also supports environmental protection and the expansion of renewable energies. Participation also takes place via the DUH website, such as Elektronik-zeit.de reported.

sustainability and photovoltaics

The current trend towards photovoltaic systems is not only a private concern, but also contributes to the environmental policy discussion. The Federal Government has spoken in favor of promoting the expansion of photovoltaics, which should happen by the solar package 1 adopted in the summer of 2024. Particular attention is paid to sustainable land use. The Federal Environment Ministry emphasizes that the establishment of photovoltaic modules and ancillary facilities can usually have negative effects on the variety of biodiversity and the microclima. It is important that photovoltaic systems are preferably installed on roofs and facades in order to minimize space consumption and to avoid competing land use.

The nationwide minimum criteria for the ecological design of funded open space systems aim to reduce negative consequences for the biological diversity. They contain requirements for maximum coverage degrees and the continuousness for animal species to ensure that the expansion of renewable energies is not at the expense of nature.

Overall, the raffled photovoltaic systems not only promote individual energy efficiency, but also address a broader environmental responsibility. The initiatives are a step to promote sustainable energy generation and to protect the biological diversity in the context of the expansion of photovoltaics in Germany.
