A table with its own energy made from old solar modules

How a used photovoltaic module becomes a functional piece of furniture for the balcony or garden is demonstrated in the Solar Table Workshop on Sunday, September 27, 2026, at the Eco Station Freiburg. Under expert guidance, participants build a decorative solar table and directly experience solar energy, craftsmanship, and sustainable upcycling.

Theory meets practical implementation

At the start, the workshop provides understandable basics of solar power generation. Then the practical assembly begins: table legs are attached, cables and connectors are expertly installed, and the solar table is subsequently tested. No prior knowledge is required, but some time and interest in craftsmanship are part of the event experience.

A piece of furniture that generates electricity

The polycrystalline modules used measure 159 x 79 x 5 centimeters and shine characteristically in the sun. Without shading, they can deliver approximately 100 watts. A suitable inverter allows the solar table to be connected to a standard outdoor outlet and integrated into the household. Thus, the finished piece of furniture combines design, climate protection, and practical energy generation.

Sustainable event management with enjoyment moments

The organization is carried out by fesa e.V. and the Eco Station Freiburg. The concept fits with the Freiburg Solar Summer and combines environmental education with practical event planning. During the approximately four-and-a-half-hour workshop, beverages and snacks will be available. The relaxed event atmosphere creates space for questions, exchange, and joint experimentation.

For balcony, garden, and one’s own energy transition

The workshop is aimed at people who want to learn about renewable energies not just theoretically but also want to build something themselves. The result is an unusual garden furniture piece with visible benefits: a solar table that transforms sunlight into electricity and gives used PV modules a second life.

Conclusion: Solar energy to touch

The Solar Table Workshop makes the energy transition tangible. Visitors take home practical knowledge, new ideas, and, ideally, a self-built solar table. Those who want to combine sustainable craftsmanship, solar power, and a special event experience will have an informative and creative afternoon at the Eco Station Freiburg.
