Wedemark's free solar event helps residents fight climate change at home

Wedemark is pushing forward with its climate goals by hosting a free solar energy event on March 2. The evening at the Bürgerhaus in Bissendorf will offer residents practical advice on switching to solar power, the main event focusing on how homeowners can use their rooftops to generate electricity. Experts, including Mayor Helge Zychlinski and representatives from the Climate Protection Agency of the Hanover Region, will explain how to optimise roofs for solar panels, technical requirements, funding options, and expected energy yields.

Balcony solar systems will be highlighted as a practical solution for smaller spaces. Energy consultant Frederik Küting will provide detailed guidance on installing and operating these compact systems.

A 'Market of Opportunities' will run alongside the talks, featuring various providers showcasing solar products and services. The event targets residents looking to reduce their energy bills and carbon footprint through renewable energy.

The information evening aligns with Wedemark's broader climate strategy, which prioritises solar power to boost renewable energy use. Residents attending will leave with clear options for adopting solar technology at home. The municipality hopes this initiative will accelerate progress toward its 2035 climate-neutral target.
