Entry into the solar world: Book a free course on photovoltaics now!

In recent years, the trend towards renewable energies, particularly the use of solar energy, has become increasingly widespread. This brings a breath of fresh air into the energy supply and opens up numerous opportunities to actively contribute to the energy transition. In this light, an exciting course is taking place at the Aichach-Friedberg Adult Education Center, which offers participants practical insights into the world of photovoltaics.

This free course begins on January 18, 2026, which explains the first steps to your own photovoltaic system. Here, anyone interested can learn everything about using the solar roof register - a digital map that shows how suitable the roofs are for installing PV systems. What's special: It shows you step by step how you can determine the suitability of your own address. Offers and purchasing decisions for PV systems are discussed and real examples from the participants are used to establish a practical reference. If you are interested, you can contact us at vhs-aichach-friedberg.de register. The course number is F25101-01.

The importance of the solar roof register

The solar roof register is a real find for everyone who is involved with solar energy. It offers an initial assessment of whether your roof is suitable for a photovoltaic system. Users can simply enter their address and receive information about the solar radiation and the orientation of their roof. Despite its advantages, it is not a substitute for individual specialist advice, as important factors such as roof pitch and shading cannot always be recorded. The situation is particularly difficult in Bavaria, as there is no central solar register here. Nevertheless, the advantages are undeniable, and the trend towards solar energy is rising sharply, as Autarq notes.

The solar roof register also provides insight into important evaluation criteria. A roof that is as optimally aligned as possible on the south facade achieves the best yield. East-west facing roofs can be more advantageous for home consumption. In addition, an inclination between 30 and 35 degrees is optimal for solar yields.

A look into the future

Developing sustainable energy solutions is not just relevant for individuals. Cities and communities can also benefit from the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft’s potential analyses. These analyzes help to determine the resources of renewable energy and support spatial development through a technical and economic basis. These measures are crucial to driving the transition to green energy and developing infrastructure ideas for the future, recognizes Fraunhofer.

A concrete example of climate protection measures is the introduction of a PV requirement for new and renovated buildings. Such approaches are a good step towards a climate-neutral future and are motivating more and more people to look into the topic of solar energy. The course at the adult education center is not only an invitation to discover the opportunities offered by solar energy, but also a necessary step towards a sustainable era.

It's definitely worth registering for this free course to get a little closer to the energy transition and use your own roof profitably!
