The Solar Power Village

An invention by Jürgen Kleinwächter

Energy autonomy or self-sufficiency represents the most important generic term in the presently unfolding solar era. Regionally used energies, produced from selfsufficient resources, not only allow the liberation from heteronomy especially to the poorest and most sun-intensive areas of the world, but also serve the development of autonomous inter-linked structures right down to village level.

An experimental biogas plant

for the SolarVillage-Field Test in Tamera

Eight months after the opening of the SolarVillage-test field in Tamera a new module is built, which will enable a self-sufficient energy supply for a village year round: a biogas plant. It will run the kitchen in the winter rainy season in the months where direct solar power often is not sufficient. more...

Inauguration of the Test Field for a SolarVillage

Decentralized Solar Energy in the Alentejo

On October 17th, Tamera dedicated the Test Field for a SolarVillage, a model village for testing decentralized solar technology in everyday life. Based on the results, a SolarVillage – self-sufficient in energy and food production – will be built later as the core of a research and training institute. Its inventor, Jürgen Kleinwächter from Lörrach, Germany, said, “Our dream is building the first worldwide Solar University here.” more...
