Solar power technology, Germany
Solar power technology. Solar panels (arrays of photovoltaic cells) and solar heat collectors (upper centre) on the roof of a building. The solar panels generate electricity by harnessing the energy in sunlight. The solar heat collectors use the energy in sunlight in a different way, to directly heat water which is then used to heat the building or used as hot water. Photographed in Hamburg, Germany

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable solar power technology in Germany. The image captures a building's rooftop adorned with arrays of photovoltaic cells, also known as solar panels, and solar heat collectors. These cutting-edge panels harness the boundless energy from sunlight to generate electricity, contributing to a sustainable and eco-friendly future. In the upper center of the frame, we see the distinctive solar heat collectors that utilize sunlight in a different way. They directly convert its energy into heat, warming water which can be used for both heating purposes within the building and as hot water for daily needs. Taken in Hamburg, Germany, this photograph beautifully encapsulates how this European country has embraced renewable energy sources like solar power. The scene exudes tranquility with its countryside backdrop while simultaneously highlighting technological advancements that propel us into the 21st century. The diverse range of individuals depicted adds a human touch to this snapshot of progress. A male cyclist pedals along peacefully on his bicycle through this picturesque setting while a female figure stands nearby, symbolizing how people actively engage with green transportation options and environmentally friendly practices. With its white roof and sleek design elements, this German home exemplifies how integrating solar power seamlessly blends functionality with aesthetics. By capturing this moment in time back in 2008 when environmental science was gaining momentum globally, Science Photo Library invites viewers to appreciate not only the beauty but also the potential impact of microgeneration technologies like these photovoltaic cells and arrays on our planet's future well-being.
