Our industry is currently in an ambivalent situation. One encouraging aspect is that the global expansion of renewable energies has picked up speed. Last year, globally installed photovoltaic capacity alone grew by 13 percent.

As in any office, the kitchen at meteocontrol is the hub where colleagues from all departments meet. Today, while enjoying our second coffee in the kitchen, we bumped into Philipp.

Every company has and needs them – but we can rarely see them on photos of external events: the system administrators.

Europe recorded the hottest summer since records began in 2021. As heat waves become more and more frequent, people are starting to ask whether photovoltaic systems can cope with these temperatures.

It is still worth encouraging more young women and girls to pursue engineering careers and to choose technical professions in general. International Women in Engineering Day, launched by the Women's Engineering Society (WES), will be held for the ninth time in 2022.

Our working student Anna is currently pursuing her semester abroad in Brazil. Despite being 10,000 kilometres away, she is still part of the Marketing and Communications team at meteocontrol and is thus able to finance her dream abroad.
