Circular Solar Week
Explore the possibilities and limitations of solar power in theory and practice with dutch startup Biosphere Solar that creates more recyclable and fair solar panels (biosphere.solar). Free entry to all events!
Test-Site Solar System, Lecture & Workshop
This student-led initiative brings circular solar energy to life at Test-Site. Through collaboration with fair solar panel startup Biosphere Solar, the project explores the potential and limitations of self-sufficient energy systems, inviting the Aalto community to think critically about electricity, resource use, and future resilience.

The Test-Site Solar System, Lecture & Workshop project is designing and building a circular solar panel system in collaboration with Biosphere Solar, a startup dedicated to recyclable, fair-manufactured modules. The initiative features a public lecture on circular solar energy systems followed by an open, hands-on installation workshop on the Test-Site A-frame that enables a solar-powered Test-Site Opening Party on the last week of May.
Test-Site will become self-sufficient in energy production, as the A-frame was originally designed to have a solar system. The installed panels will power the Crust website and support the ongoing development and everyday activities at Test-Site. Future uses of the electricity may include a watering irrigation system, electric tools for building, co-working in the A-frame with access to power outlets, and leisure activities such as making a pot of tea or lighting the space in the evenings with string lights.
