SolarTreff in Steindorf: Be part of the energy event now!

An upcoming event in Steindorf will focus on the topics of renewable energies and in particular the combination of photovoltaics with heat pumps. The SolarTreff will take place on Tuesday, November 25, 2025, at 7 p.m. in the Steindorf community center. Interested citizens are invited to find out about the latest developments in photovoltaic systems, e-mobility and storage technology. An independent energy consultant will accompany the participants to answer questions and give valuable tips. Participation is free, but registration is required.

The event takes place in a context in which the need for sustainable energy sources is increasing. According to the Consumer advice center By using heat pumps in conjunction with photovoltaic systems, households can become more independent of electricity suppliers and at the same time contribute to climate protection. This combination makes it possible to cover the annual electricity requirement significantly: without battery storage, around 20-30% of the requirement can be covered, with battery storage up to 40% of the requirement.

Economic aspects of the energy transition

However, the investment costs for such systems should not be neglected. The prices for heat pumps and photovoltaic systems are between 25,000 and 50,000 euros. Nevertheless, federal and state funding programs can help reduce costs for interested homeowners. Well-planned systems also contribute to long-term energy cost savings and reduce dependence on rising electricity prices.

However, complete self-sufficiency remains difficult to achieve due to a lack of suitable long-term storage. However, well-insulated buildings with low heating requirements can achieve a high degree of independence. Energy management systems that optimize electricity consumption depending on electricity generation are also central elements of the effective use of renewable energies.

Renewable energies in Germany

The report shows the importance of renewable energies in Germany Federal Ministry of Economics. In 2024, the final energy consumption for heat from renewable energies was already around 197 terawatt hours. The share of renewable energies in final energy consumption for heating and cooling rose to 18.1%. In addition, the use of renewable energies avoids around 256 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions every year.

However, the challenges should not be underestimated. A decrease in the use of biomass for heating purposes has been recorded, while there has been an increase of 15% for heat pumps. These renewable energies are essential building blocks for achieving climate goals in Germany and contribute to the creation of jobs in this sector. In 2023, over 406,000 people were already working in the renewable energy sector, representing an increase of almost 7% compared to the previous year.

In summary, it can be said that the SolarTreff in Steindorf represents a valuable opportunity to find out about current developments in the field of renewable energies. The combination of heat pumps and photovoltaic systems not only offers ecological advantages, but also economic prospects for the future.
