The global warming effect is unequivocal, and solar energy will play a major role in the most important battle of the 21st century: enabling increased energy consumption while minimizing the impact on our environment. In order to achieve the climate protection targets as soon as possible, the environmental impacts must be quantified and should be effectively integrated into the competitive process. TÜV Rheinland (Germany) has certified the environmental impact of the solar film HeliaSol® to be below 16 kg CO2e/m² through a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). The result is an ultra-low carbon footprint ranging from 15 up to 3 g CO2e/kWh depending on the solar irradiation of a location.

Mozambique has the largest power generation potential in the entire Southern African region thanks to its vast and largely untapped gas, hydro, wind and solar resources. Despite this huge generation potential only 38.6%1) of its population had access to electricity in 2021. The total installed power capacity in Mozambique stood at around 2,800 MW in the year 2021 whereas the peak demand reported by the state-owned energy utility Electricidade de Moçambique (EDM) was at 1,035 MW. Over 50% of the total electricity demand is originating from the capital area Maputo and the surrounding southern part of the country, while only around 20%2) of the population.

North Carolina leads the United States in taking bold steps to address climate change and rising energy costs. Over the last two decades, the state has enacted a series of legislative, executive and regulatory actions to propel the state toward a clean energy future. These actions laid the foundation for landmark bipartisan climate legislation passed in 2021 known as House Bill 951 (HB 951) which requires North Carolina utilities to reach carbon neutrality by 2050. Simultaneously, North Carolina has invested heavily in diversifying its energy resource mix to include increased amounts of renewable energy sources. These investments have enabled North Carolina businesses to meet their sustainability goals while benefiting from some of the lowest energy costs in the country.
