Poles' environmental awareness is growing: report

One of the longest-operating companies on the Polish photovoltaic market, SunSol from Gdańsk conducted a study in which it checked the attitude of Poles to renewable energy sources (RES). The report prepared "What Poles think about renewable energy sources" shows that according to nearly 37 percent of respondents, RES has a positive effect on the climate and over 21 percent of them indicated that they give energetic independence.

Our compatriots see the need to change the energy system to a more ecological one – almost 80 percent would like the energy in their home to come from renewable energy sources. Only 5 percent. would not decide to use them, and less than 16 percent replied that they did not know if they would like them to be supplied to their farm.

"The increase in RES capacity in Poland in 2020 was greater by as much as 70 percent compared to the increase in capacity in 2019, which shows that the green energy market in our country is developing dynamically. The study carried out by SunSol showed that our compatriots see their potential and want the energy in their homes to come from them," Michał Kitkowski, CEO of SunSol, said.

"Surprisingly, because the fewest respondents indicated the economics of RES, thanks to which we can see that it is still a field for building awareness that these solutions benefit both the environment and those who use them," he added.
