Everything as a Service. The subscription economy is here. Clothing, food, mobility – all kinds of industries are now offering subscriptions to their services. Even electricity!

Climate change is becoming increasingly serious all over the world. In Germany and China, unprecedented flooding has occurred, while parts of the U.S., Japan and Korea are experiencing scorching heat. Such heat waves not only brings hot and humid weather, but also lead to increased electricity consumption via increased reliance on cooling systems.

In January 2021, the worst cold wave ever to hit Texas occurred. Where temperatures normally are above 10 degrees Celsius even in winter, the mercury dropped to an unheard-of -18 degrees. As power plants froze, power to about 4.3 million households was cut off, and large-scale damage occurred, including factory shutdowns.

As record-breaking heat waves and various abnormal climate conditions accelerate year after year, the magnitude of global warming is increasingly apparent. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) emphasized the necessity of a renewable energy transition while stating that producing electricity and heating account for the largest share of greenhouse gas emissions.

Efforts to replace fossil fuels with natural energy have been ongoing since greenhouse gases were identified as the main culprit behind global warming. Amid growing interest in renewable energy due to the 'Green New Deal' policy that recently led to an energy transition, agrivoltaics, which allows farming and production of electricity to take place at the same time, is drawing growing attention as another leading solution to tackling climate change.
