We Do Solar: Solar energy for everyone
editWe Do Solar is an innovative Greentech startup, founded in September 2021 by Karolina Attspodina and Qian Qin, with the goal of making solar energy affordable and accessible for every household, especially for renters.
Key products and services
editThe company offers specially designed, lightweight, and powerful photovoltaic balcony modules. These modules are particularly compact and efficient, with a size of 90x54 cm and a thickness of only two millimeters, to make optimal use of the limited space on balconies. Each module weighs only 1.6 kilograms and can be easily attached to balcony railings. The sets include a micro-inverter and all necessary accessories, allowing for easy self-installation and can be monitored live via an app[1][3][5].
Main mission and values
editThe mission of We Do Solar is to make solar energy simple, smart, and affordable. The company aims for households to cover over 50% of their energy needs with solar energy, without bearing the high costs of traditional installations. The focus is on sustainability and reducing CO₂ emissions to make a positive contribution to environmental protection[2][4][5].
Sustainability goals and initiatives
editWe Do Solar is committed to making a significant contribution to the energy transition. By providing solar energy for urban households, especially for renters, the company aims to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and lower CO₂ emissions. The company plans to relocate its production to Europe in the next three to five years to shorten supply chains and further minimize environmental impact[1][5].
Additionally, We Do Solar offers innovative financing models, such as the free rental model for owners of electric vehicles, where CO₂ certificates can be exchanged for solar modules. This model allows the use of solar energy to be free for users and funded by oil companies. Furthermore, the company promotes employee benefit programs, where large companies rent the devices and provide them to their employees to reduce electricity costs in home offices and lower CO₂ emissions[1][5].
We Do Solar is also working on future products such as storage solutions that are to be lighter, more affordable, and more sustainable to make energy supply even more efficient[5].
With its visionary approach and innovative solutions, We Do Solar is committed to integrating solar energy into the daily lives of millions of people and making a significant contribution to global environmental protection.
