Our teaching materials

Solarbildung inspires young people to find creative solutions to the challenges of everyday life.

Almost half of young people are worried about climate change. We show the younger generation ways to shape their own energy future, transforming their powerlessness into confidence and courage.

 

Solar education supports teachers in fostering a deeper understanding of sustainability in students from an early age. Our learning materials introduce children and young people of all ages and backgrounds to renewable energies.

 

Solarbildung is an independent non-profit limited liability company from Munich that develops teaching materials, school lessons and projects on solar energy and has received the 2025/26 National Award for Education for Sustainable Development from UNESCO and the Ministry of Education.

Your support is invaluable

We accomplish all this with a single full-time employee, student assistants, and volunteers. The fact that this has resulted in a UNESCO award and enthusiastic feedback from hundreds of schools makes us proud. And it raises a question: What would be possible with more resources?

 

Every euro goes towards new teaching units, learning materials for schools they can't afford, and supporting young people who are taking their energy future into their own hands. Our teaching materials are produced in the Caritas Brucker workshop for people with disabilities in Fürstenfeldbruck. Solar Education is a non-profit organization; your donation is 100% tax deductible.

Companies support schools

Do you want to make a difference as a company? Through the ChangeX funding platform, or directly, companies can finance teaching materials and projects for schools, in their region or worldwide. ChangeX offers three educational packages: one for primary schools , one for secondary schools , and one for Youth-led Solar , where young people plan and build their own photovoltaic system.

 

Others have already done this: Octopus Energy (8 schools), Ritter Sport, and Sapotech support schools directly. ServiceNow (18 schools in 4 countries ), Google, Microsoft, and PwC support schools via ChangeX .
