European Solar Days Európske solárne dni

The European Solar Days initiative was launched in Austria in 2002 as the “day of the sun” and has gradually been extended to a Europe-wide campaign, which takes place every year during the first weeks of May. It is an educational campaign, the main goal of which is to point out the possibilities and benefits of using solar energy. Slovakia joined the campaign in 2011 thanks to the non-profit organization Slovak Renewable Energy Agency (SK REA), which aims to build a network of partnerships and supporters of the European Solar Days at the regional level. It is the largest campaign about solar energy in the country and is also unique in its form: various entities throughout Slovakia organize their own events, which fosters wide reach to various target groups.
