ZGRADOnačelnik.hr, in collaboration with the Association of Cities and expert partners, has created a guide for city administration employees on generating electricity from solar panels on city buildings.
City facilities such as kindergartens, schools, theaters, libraries, sports halls, and municipal company buildings are ideal for installing solar panels. Croatia, as an EU member, has committed to decarbonizing buildings by 2050. Public buildings consume 40% of energy and produce 36% of CO2 emissions, making their renovation crucial for achieving energy efficiency.
The guide titled “(O)SUNČANI KROVOVI HRVATSKIH GRADOVA” offers detailed information and steps for installing solar panels. It covers all phases, from roof energy renovation to the construction and use of solar panels, and includes QR codes for additional information.
The partners in creating the guide are REGEA, Green Energy Cooperative, Environmental Protection and Energy Efficiency Fund, European Commission in Croatia, Konrad Adenauer Stiftung, City of Zadar, and City of Karlovac. The guide, which is 64 pages long, highlights examples of cities that have successfully implemented solar panels.
Topics in the guide include types of solar panels, models for calculating produced energy, installation steps, financing, and positive examples from Karlovac, Križevci, Novi Marof, Zadar, and Zagreb.
This guide is intended for city administrations and citizens, providing expert information on the methods and models for installing solar panels on city-owned buildings.
