The new solar thermal panel from SOLution allows for a higher light incidence and has a conversion factor of more than 80 %. It has one homogeneous surface when installing several panels next to each other which also enables better self-cleaning. The panel is produced by using modern welding and adhesive technology. Through its cone-shaped size the same mounting system for crane or hand mounting can be used.

The HVAC installer Muggenhumer received the "Energy Genius" award for this 100 % renewable farm building:

  heating system (using wood from the owner's forest)
- a controlled heat recovery system
- a 4.68 kW photovoltaic system
- triple glazed windows
- ecologic insulation materials such as bales of straw
  and perlites
- high efficiency heat circulation pumps
