The global demand for energy is continually increasing. In 2023 alone, it was necessary to add 50 terawatt-hours (TWh) to the global generation to meet the growing demand. This means that each year we must add the total generation consumed by countries like Romania, Portugal, or Peru just to keep up with growth.. (more…)
n the ever-evolving world of photovoltaic technology, double glass solar modules are emerging as a game-changer. By encapsulating solar cells between two layers of glass, these modules offer unparalleled durability and efficiency. But what exactly sets them apart? (more…)
Worldwide, trade fair stands generate an enormous amount of waste. This is not only due to the mass of materials used but also because a large part of them cannot be reused or recycled. To counteract this, we at IBC SOLAR have been using a trade fair stand based on the Cradle-to-Cradle design principle at the leading trade fair Intersolar since 2022. And with success. Our trade fair appearance has been awarded three times: with the Sustainable Exhibitor Award 2024 for a sustainable trade fair stand, the German Design Award 2025 in the category “Circular Design,” and the BrandEx Award 2025 for an outstanding brand experience in live communication.

With 14 locations in Germany and 69 worldwide, this is an ambitious but necessary challenge to reduce the ecological footprint and operate more sustainably. The company is particularly focusing on solar energy to achieve this goal – for example, at the Hallstadt site. (more…)
The expansion of renewable energies, especially photovoltaics, is steadily increasing. Nowadays, there is a suitable solution for almost every project – whether it’s a private home, public buildings, or commercial facilities. In some regions, however, reference projects or skilled workers are often lacking, making the installation of a PV system quite challenging. In Mombasa, Africa, the association EducAid Kenya e.V. faced the challenge of implementing a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to the expensive grid-supplied electricity for the EducAid Academy School. One thing quickly became clear: they wanted to invest in an own photovoltaic system. (more…)
