This is increasing the demand for innovative products that help protect the environment. As an industrial company with a broad portfolio, Bosch develops and produces resource-efficient and eco-friendly technologies, for example, in the field of solar energy.
Solar collectors for heat generation
With Bosch solar collectors, heating and hot water can be provided by the sun – completely free of any CO2 bi-product. Of the renewable sources of energy, solar heat generation is one of the biggest contributors to offset worldwide energy consumption. And Bosch is pressing ahead with the development of solar technology.
Organic photovoltaics
Bosch is conducting research with BASF and Heliatek in the field of organic photovoltaics. The aim is to make the production of solar cells much more cost-effective and to increase their range of application. As organic solar cells can be as flexible and thin as a transparent envelope, they offer a great deal of potential. They can be used on rooftops, as foldaway cell phone chargers, or on car roofs.
Forecast
Solar energy is just one example of how Bosch is providing technical solutions to ecological challenges, and thus making a valuable contribution to long-term environmental and climate protection. Stay tuned for more environmentally-friendly innovations from Bosch.
