Case study: Doing your laundry when the sun shines: clean and green

Using energy in line with nature’s rhythm

To make people aware of the behavioural change needed when using renewable energy, we set up a ‘Solarette’ in Rotterdam in June. People could use this pop-up launderette – which was fully

solar-powered – to wash their laundry free of charge. This provided an ideal opportunity to inform them on the best use of solar energy in their own homes and to explain why it is better to run the washing machine when the sun shines.
