Solar Panels On An Older House In Krakow

A number of solar collector panels are attached to the front wall of an old house in the center of Krakow, Poland on March 26, 2021. The recent boom in solar energy has been fuelled in part by photovoltaic micro-installations on people’s homes, supported by a successful state subsidy scheme. The development comes as the government seeks to gradually transition away from reliance on coal, with renewables playing an ever larger role in the country’s energy mix.
