Who writes here
Our team of authors
We want everyone to be able to produce and use their energy independently. And in the way that makes the most sense for the community: Sustainably. Sounds utopian? We believe in it anyway. Because there are people and technologies that bring us a little closer to this goal.
On our blog we write about them and would like to pick you up from where you are: As a professional who wants to find out about current trends in the market. As a company which focuses on the future of photovoltaics and electricity storage. Or as a consumer with questions about renewable energies.
Our authors come from diverse backgrounds, from both inside and outside the Memodo team – from tech nerds to language acrobats with green thumbs. However, we have one thing in common: we want to share with you, what and who helps us here. So that we can tackle the energy transition together.
