New Citizen Science App „Generation Solar“ promotes Photovoltaics

23.04. | “Generation Solar” was created as part of the EU research project GRECO. The app serves as a database for solar systems and has many practical functions, such enabling direct exchange between owners of solar systems. The data flows into future research in the field of solar systems and can promote the worldwide expansion of solar energy. The app is the result of cross-departmental collaboration between science, IT and citizen science.

The web version of the “Generation Solar” app is already online, and it will be available in the Android and iOS app stores from 4 May.

The app aims to create a unique community in the field of solar energy and at the same time to anchor photovoltaics more firmly in society. With your data, you can expand the global photovoltaic database and help scientists develop new and better models for energy efficiency.

Further information on the project and its contents can be found on the RLI project page.
