It´s been a very cold and rainy day today. The temperature was/is only 12 degrees Celsius. Yet the programme was really interesting. We went to Gleisdorf - the Solar City - where we listened to a very long yet interesting speech of a man from the energy company Feistritzwerke STEWEAG GmbH feeding our heads with many numbers which made us totally confused. Then, also outside, in the freezing cold he showed us various types of photovoltaic panels, discussing the prices, warranties, lifespans etc. We could also walk through The Solar Street and watch the electric car being loaded.
