Photovoltaics for every company

Sector: Energy, Consulting services

A PV system on top of every company!
Dachgold consists of Mag. Cornelia Daniel and four employees. Cornelia Daniel and her team have been honoured several times for their work on the topic of photovoltaics in Austria and their role model function for many women and young people. The highlight so far has been the award for Austrian Woman of the Year.

Background

Born in the Waldviertel region of Austria, Mag. Cornelia Daniel is an Austrian entrepreneur who has been promoting the topic of solar energy since 2008. Based on her diploma thesis at the Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration on solar energy in Australia and her collaboration with solar pioneer Hermann Scheer, she has been working for more than 15 years on the economic viability of renewable energies and how their distribution can be promoted. As the author of more than 400 articles and discussions with over 1000 entrepreneurs, she is one of the best-known photovoltaic experts in the German-speaking world. For her tireless work on this topic, she was voted Austrian of the Year 2020 in the climate sector.

The Thousand and One Roof initiative is Dachgold’s implementation product. The joint venture between the plant specialist 10hoch4 and Dachgold offers a one-stop shop for the realisation of an in-house power plant with as little effort as possible for the company. As part of this project, companies and organisations are supported in all phases of the process towards their own turnkey power plant. At the same time, the largest and strongest network of companies with photovoltaic systems is being created. In principle, the process begins with profitability consulting, continues with the technical planning of the photovoltaic system, and ends with the turnkey construction of the complete photovoltaic system. In addition, customers benefit from PR and marketing support for their system as well as from the media attention of the entire initiative.

Thanks to her many years of experience in solar consulting and implementation, she now also gives passionate lectures and writes informative articles and books to convey the topic of energy in a clear and understandable way.

Workshops

For the development of photovoltaics in Austria, it is essential that the latest information on photovoltaics is available at all levels. The biggest enemy of photovoltaics is currently only the unavailability of up-to-date information, as the technology has developed so rapidly. DACHGOLD therefore offers photovoltaic workshops for energy consultants, tax advisors, architects, and political decision-makers. The workshops can be ordered individually or booked as offered for the general public regularly.
