Solar-server

 

The need for a multi-lingual, globally accessible, and comprehensive electronic information system for the use of solar energy, the "Solar Server”, was recognized in 1994. Important services are already being performed now, prior to the erection of the ISC building in the "Virtual International SolarCenter”. The easily operated Solar Server was set up in April 1995 and has already proven its Internet service program in more than 455,000 link-ups (June '97) from more than 30 countries. In December 1995, the Solar Server won Berlin's Solar Prize in the area of public relations.

The following information services are offered:

Informationen on the International SolarCenter

  • information on members
  • international advisory board
  • charter
  • state of development
  • plan of the site
  • excerpts from preliminary studies

Information for citizens

  • fundamentals of solar energy conversion
  • e-mail answering service

Solar address book

  • specialized regional, national, and international companies
  • associations and institutes concerned with solar energy conversion
  • current community, state, country, European Union, and UN promotion programs for solar energy use
  • information on technology, energy policy, and events
  • worldwide links to almost all institutions and data banks concerned with solar energy
  • current reports, pictures, and texts from events, conferences, and contests are stored in the server and can be called up worldwide ("solar CNN”)

FUTURE PROJECS:

Learning on Internet
For the transition to a solar energy economy, the training of users, planners, installers, and political decision-makers is extremely important - especially in developing countries, whose wealth in sunlight means solar energy can provide a major portion of the energy supply in the expansion of the energy infrastructure. The solar server will offer appropriate correspondence courses in the Internet.

Virtual tour
By wandering through the virtual building in the solar server, potentially interested parties and users of the ISC from all over the world will be able to "experience” and discover the SolarCenter even before construction is completed.

Computer game
From mid-September 1996 on, the Server will provide access to a computer game on the topic of energy and environment.
