SoliSolar Hamburg

About

Founded in 2022, SoliSolar Hamburg is a ngo headquartered in Hamburg, Germany with approximately 1-10 employees specializing in Solar.

SoliSolar Hamburg is a registered association (e.V.) founded in spring 2022 that promotes local energy transition through community-based solar projects. The organization focuses on organizing affordable group purchases for balcony solar systems (Balkonkraftwerke) and single-family home photovoltaic installations. SoliSolar operates as a solidarity self-build community, providing technical guidance, installation training, and assistance with permitting and landlord negotiations. They support the installation of plug-in solar devices (up to 600W) that require no permits or licensed electricians. The organization also advocates for equitable funding programs and has successfully lobbied Hamburg to introduce subsidies covering 90% of costs for low-income households. SoliSolar connects self-builders through networks and biweekly online meetings, emphasizing mutual aid, sustainability, and grassroots energy transition over commercial profit.
