When I video-chatted with dad yesterday, which I don't do too often since he isn't a big talker, he revealed proudly that he's investing a big chunk of money again in another roof being planted full with photovoltaics. It's quite a trend the last couple of years in South Germany, since renewable energies are backed by the government. The first investment of that kind was stocking up the multiple roofs of granny's house, since our own house has no optimal angle to the sun. The generated power is fed into the national grid and is hopefully replacing a few of the devastating coal plants over the next years...

Though, what I'm really proud of the most is that over the years it seems dad got really convinced in the sense of green energy. Not just the investment and the opportunity to make money. I like that he's taking the full highly innovative approach. It's the newest equipment available on the market and he's using the web to get reports from his facilities. Checking email early in the morning to see yesterday's report of sun efficiency was nothing I ever thought dad would be fond of. Even more I love to see the spark in his eyes when he's talking about it. It seems one thing we share is a great passion for innovation and new technology...
