Modern, practical and sustainable education
"In over twenty years of teaching, I have never seen anything comparable. Solar education opens up a whole new world of learning and experimentation for our students."
Eva Aigner,
Head of Department of Mathematics and Physics, Max-Josef-Stift Girls' High School, Munich
Five most frequently cited reasons why teachers choose solar education:
Learning through experience : Solar education materials make physical and technical concepts understandable – students experiment independently instead of just listening.
Curriculum-oriented & flexible: All experiments are adapted to the PLUS curriculum and can be used in regular classes as well as in projects or elective courses.
Promoting key skills : Experimenting strengthens personal responsibility, teamwork, media literacy and sustainability awareness.
High quality & easy implementation : The materials are robust, well-thought-out, and ready to use – with clear instructions, videos, and a didactic concept. Ideal for larger groups.
Sustainable education with practical relevance: Topics such as solar energy and environmental protection are not only theoretical but also actively experienced – an important contribution to education for sustainable development (ESD).

“With the teaching units provided by Solar Education, we can explain how the PV modules work in a practical way and enable the students to understand the technology through independent experiments. Our students have been sensitized to the use of renewable energies in a particularly sustainable way through concrete experiments with the PV modules.”

“ Absolutely brilliant! Well done!
Finally, good, efficient and playful material that creates a connection between SCI, physics and sustainable development!"

Deputy Head Teacher
Waldschule Degerloch
"Thanks to Solar for Education, we can now clearly convey the topic of using solar energy through photovoltaics to the pupils of the forest school using real-life examples and exciting experiments. There are experiments for the younger students as well as demanding contexts for the upper school."
Fabian Koch, StR
Maths and Physics Teacher
Gymnasium Buchloe
"The Solar Education workshops were a great enrichment for our climate week! In two parallel workshops, the students were initially able to independently estimate the school’s electricity requirements. They were then allowed to "cover" the roof of the school with a PV system using an online tool in order to recognize the unused potential."
