Networking offers the opportunity to make new contacts, exchange ideas with experts and search specifically for suitable business partners, through Speeddating, our Meet&Greet Advisor Lounge or by directly getting in contact – use the touch points.

OFF-GRID Charity: Workshop & Sale

The OFF-GRID Sale offers the opportunity to purchase reduced products for a good cause. Small, functional modules are offered at a special price in the campaign area. The proceeds of 2.500 € were donated to VET4Africa e.V. association (VET4Africa) in 2023. This donation will help to train more PV teachers, who in turn will act as African multipliers in the field of renewable energies and photovoltaics in their country and thus contribute to sustainable development through education. Various PV products were sold at the OFF-GRID Sale with the support of Phaesun and also contributed to the total proceeds.
