Late last year many residents of our building formed a neighbor-owned company in order to add a solar array to our roof! A few days ago they got the final panels installed. It’s not turned on yet, but seeing this much progress made me so proud! 🤩
...and what if a large number of us gather at the entrance to the exhibition halls at Stuttgart Airport at 9:00 a.m. on February 21, 2026, to express our views to the CDU before they begin their party conference? BUND BaWü @campact will also be there.

I found this on wikimedia commons but I'm not smart enough to know if it would work or if it would be insanely dangerous, so can you smartypants' out there educate me?
Microphotographs of a broken solar cell showing the soldering spots between the bus-bars and the silver-paste fingers.
On the front side of the cell the silver paste fingers are much thinner, as the goal is to extract as much current while shading as little as possible.
On the rear the silver paste is spread much thicker.
I'm not sure about the exact scales here - maybe around 100um for the thinnest features. Will check once my micrometric scale gets here.

💬 "Now bright sparks at solar developer Sun-Ways have come up with a solution that exploits some of Switzerland’s 5,000km (3,100 miles) of railway line: solar panels that slot between the tracks."
