Hello !
We´re working on a replicable model for a non-PV solarenergy greenhouse village, where 50 people are able to live self-sufficient in energy and food production. Ecology, technology, architecture, and community are being combined there in a holistic pilot project.

In the center of Tamera stands the solar-powered-village technology of the physicist and inventor Jürgen Kleinwächter. It can be built without any assistance from the big industrial conglomerates. With the energy produced by a system of lenses within a greenhouse, round-the-clock cooking is available. Power and electricity can also be produced by means of sunpowered pulses of the low-temperature Stirling engine.
Warm welcome !
