We hear a lot in the news these days that energy prices are out of control and energy supply has become a major problem at the European level. The reason is that most of the oil and gas that power the economies of European countries comes from imports. This means it exposes the EU to external markets and external developments. At present, the war between Russia and Ukraine is having a very negative impact on Europe’s energy security. Therefore, a very serious energy crisis on the continent needs to be resolved as soon as possible. The risks of energy exposure were already recognized by the European Union and its Member States. Still, it was the consequences of war and mutual sanctions that really sounded the alarm bell. Energy independence is not easy to achieve and the transition is unfortunately not an overnight process, but green energy could be the way out of the energy crisis.
This is how we are currently defending ourselves
Countries are trying to manage the impact of energy price increases on consumers through public intervention. Examples of such measures include reducing bills, partly absorbing the costs of service providers, raising energy prices in certain segments, or taking action to curb consumption and raise awareness. These are, however, far from sustainable solutions, since on the one hand, the measures taken are a burden on the public purse. While on the other hand, they reduce the standard of living to which society is accustomed or indirectly make people pay for the price increases. It is difficult to re-educate consumers in one fell swoop to use less energy. And the traditional fossil-based economy will never be sustainable. These energy carriers are finite in quantity. Consumption is constantly increasing, and extraction will not keep pace. We must therefore look for other ways forward.
What is a reasonable solution?
The ideal solution would certainly be for the production and use of green energy to take off. We can achieve energy independence at the local level by producing the energy needed locally in a country, in a municipality, or even at the micro level, in a property. This is why it is necessary to build the future on renewable energy sources. This will of course involve investment, but it will also significantly reduce local (regional) energy dependency and make it possible to achieve energy independence.
Many have already recognized this potential and have carried out upgrades and renovations that include solar solutions as an integral part of the solution. This is not surprising, as solar energy is currently the most identified potential for achieving energy independence. Smaller and larger solar systems are already common, but their number is still far from sufficient to talk about sustainability. Nevertheless, the best way to tackle the energy crisis is to use locally produced green energy and its use. One such option using solar technology is PLATIO. This solar paving can provide a solution to rising energy prices and independence from the utility. The green energy generated by solar paver power appliances in the household/property, indirectly for cooling/heating, or for charging electric vehicles.
Still undecided? Let PLATIO convince you!
We can describe the advantages of PLATIO solar paver at great length. For now we will focus on the most important features.
- Environmentally friendly: the environmental friendliness of the product is not only due to the use of renewable energy but also to the frame made of recycled plastic materials that house the solar cell. The solar pavement is ideal for use around properties where they want to reduce their ecological footprint.
- Durability: the composite material of solar pavers retains its quality for up to 50 years. Its tensile and compressive strength is much higher than that of conventional concrete paving.
- Wide range of uses: thanks to its modular design, the solar paver can be laid almost anywhere. The product can be an ideal solution for creating areas around private and corporate properties, for smart city investments by municipalities, or as a basic infrastructure for e-mobility.
- Aesthetics: solar paving can be a useful element and an aesthetic feature in any home, public space, office or factory. PLATIO is suitable for pavements, terraces or driveways, with its aesthetic appearance.
PLATIO Solar’s solar paver is therefore a design building product that combines aesthetics and solar technology in one building material. An ideal solution for environmentally conscious investments by companies, municipalities or even private individuals.
The production and use of green energy locally could therefore be the key to the current energy crisis. Fortunately, there are already several solutions on the market that are accessible to all, so the future is not bleak. Solar technologies seem unstoppable, but this will require a commitment to sustainability from the social and economic sectors. And PLATIO offers a rational, aesthetic and versatile solution to achieve independence from energy price trends and energy suppliers.
