Heiner Initiatives and the city train citizen solar advisors in Darmstadt
The City of Darmstadt and the initiatives heiner*energie , heiner*solarberatung , and heiner*heizungsoptimierung are seeking additional volunteer citizen solar advisors for consultation, organization, and public relations . Initiated by the city's photovoltaic funding program , over 400 local consultations have already been conducted in four district groups , and numerous new systems have been installed.
Training and support
To meet the increased demand for advice on solar systems and heating optimization , the existing team of approximately 100 volunteers will be expanded. The future citizen solar advisors will receive training – supported by the City of Darmstadt and the local chapter of the German Federation for the Environment and Nature Conservation (BUND) – in the planning, installation, and operation of photovoltaic systems , as well as in optimizing existing heating systems .
Climate protection with social added value
“These projects demonstrate how local initiatives, together with the city, real climate protection , strengthen neighborhood services and support, and thus also social added value . My thanks go to all the volunteers for their commitment to the well-being of our city,” explains Climate Protection Officer Michael Kolmer.
