A Ukrainian woman who found a way to fight Putin without picking up a rifle or Javelin missile launcher. Her preferred weapon? Solar panels mounted on Europe's balconies.
tells us the tale of a Ukrainian woman who found a way to fight Putin without picking up a rifle or Javelin missile launcher. Her preferred weapon? Solar panels mounted on Europe’s balconies.
WeDoSolar, a company that specializes in “vertical solar power” panels for balconies, was founded in February 2022 . It claims to have already received “thousands of orders” for its “vertical solar power” panels, which are specifically designed to be mounted, with weatherproof straps, by people who know nothing about solar or electrical power.
That accounts for around 40% of the EU’s total demand, with Germany’s dependency as high as 65%. So, reducing energy needed by 25% can really make a dent in Putin’s influence over the region.
