Community Power: Lessons from Kassel's Green Roof Solar Success

A Significant Step Towards Green Energy


The green roof solar installation in Kassel, Germany, came to life thanks to Over Easy’s easy mounting solution. Our system has a fantastic capacity of 19.8 kWp and is set to produce about 18,500 kWh of clean energy every year.


Community involvement was crucial to this project’s success. With professional support from SoLocal Energy, local firefighters generously volunteered their time and expertise, playing a significant role in developing this solar energy system. Their combined efforts show how valuable teamwork and professional knowledge are in making projects like this happen. At Over Easy Solar, we aim to empower communities, and this partnership is proof of that. It’s more than just a business venture; it’s based on shared principles of solidarity, inclusion, and sustainability.

A Global Imperative: Prioritizing Renewable Energy

Germany has made impressive progress in switching to renewable energy sources. In 2023, over 50% of the country’s electricity came from renewables. However, there’s still a reliance on fossil fuels. It’s crucial for Germany and all nations to prioritize renewable energy as the main source of electricity. Embracing clean energy is vital to reduce the risks of global warming and the related health hazards. Non-renewable sources like coal and natural gas have severe environmental and public health impacts. A Harvard study estimated coal’s annual life cycle cost and health effects at a staggering $74.6 billion, highlighting the urgent need for a global shift to renewables.


Addressing climate change and environmental concerns requires global collaboration. Governments, businesses, and civil society must work together to overcome barriers to adopting renewable energy. By investing in infrastructure, implementing supportive policies, and fostering innovation, we can reduce carbon footprints, create economic opportunities, and improve public health outcomes. The switch to renewable energy is essential for our practical needs: it protects the environment, ensures energy security, and promotes long-term economic stability.
