From person to person
The SolarScouts are local residents who have experience with the installation of photovoltaic systems. Their services range from solar walks and public consultation sessions to personalised home visits. The SolarScouts provide guidance to those interested – without any sales pressure and directly from within the local community.
One in five systems funded through the city’s solar initiative now stems from a recommendation made by a SolarScout. With more than 1,000 information sessions and hundreds of projects initiated, they are bringing the energy transition into everyday life – and, more often than not, onto people’s roofs.
New website as a guide
Since September, the SolarScouts’ new website has been bringing together basic information, event details, practical examples and a comprehensive FAQ section. This makes it even easier to get started with photovoltaics.

Anyone interested in installing their own solar system will find information, contact details and the latest dates on the website. Anyone wishing to become a SolarScout themselves can find the Stuttgart SolarScouts’ guidelines here.
