Take part and use the AURORA Energy Tracker today, available for iOS, Android and on the Web.
AURORA is demonstrating how people can make a difference through the choices they make, reducing 13-20% of all greenhouse gas emissions linked to residential energy use and 13% linked to transport choices. In addition, the project will empower people to take ownership of new community solar energy projects.
AURORA will show at least 7,000 citizens how they can make a difference through the choices they make, to reduce the emissions they are responsible for.
By crowdfunding local solar energy plants, with shares as low as €20, each participating citizen can become an active “prosumer” (someone who both consumes and produces energy). In the long run, this will help democratise the governance of the community and its energy systems.
Participants will act as citizen researchers by recording their monthly energy consumption on a user-friendly mobile app. They will receive personalised recommendations to improve their energy consumption habits and reduce their carbon footprint.
Five local energy communities have been established in different locations across Europe:
Since 2007, MatchPoints has been the annual flagship conference of Aarhus University, bringing together researchers, journalists, politicians, business leaders and engaged citizens to discuss the most pressing issues of the day. This year, the conference will tackle climate action beyond neutrality, emphasizing innovative strategies for restoring planetary health. Marta Victoria, project lead of Project AURORA at Aarhus University, will be giving a talk on the outcome from her research and the project.
Are you interested in sustainably oriented and environmentally friendly production of electrical energy from the sun? Would you like to learn about the latest trends in photovoltaics in the field of research and development of solar cells, photovoltaic modules, inverters, or photovoltaic systems? Do you want detailed information on the management and maintenance of photovoltaic systems? Are you interested in the development of the Slovenian photovoltaic market? Perhaps you would like to establish a solar power plant?
Marta Victoria, leading the AURORA demonstration at Aarhus University, will be giving a presentation at the 52nd IEEE Photovoltaic Specialists Conference held in Seattle, US between 9th to 14th Jun 2024. Her presentation focuses on challenges and strategies for establishing the crowdfunded rooftop photovoltaic system at Aarhus University.
