Several tall rows of modules are installed on a field on the farm in Deutenkofen. The aim is to test the influence of the modules on the growth of apple and pear trees.
Outdoor swimming pools are booming in the summer heat. Because they promise to cool you down. However, the edges of the pools are often sealed. The sun burns mercilessly on the skin. A clever idea offers a remedy: solar power is better than sun cream!
Temperatures are rising: Up to 45 degrees Celsius were measured in Spain this summer, in some cases more than 15 Kelvin above average. Sealed, open spaces and too few shaded areas are contributing to the fact that life in the city is coming to a standstill. A trade fair in Barcelona showed that climate change requires a rethink in architecture.
The output of the modules is used in the leisure pool to help cover the immense energy consumption. The public utility company had precise ideas for the construction, which Gridparity was able to fulfil. The result is an aesthetically pleasing system that was completed in just a few weeks.
