When you read the title of the event Solar grill you must have wondered what it is and how it works. Those who came (and even those who would look at the pictures from the event) probably thought that the barbecue would be connected to solar panels or something like that, but when the visitors heard the lecture, they realized that the solar was not so simple.
The problem, that is, the complication is not of a technical nature at all, but of course administrative.
Lecture
Damir Medved from the association Without Borders made a simple and concrete introduction to what are photovoltaic power plants, renewable energy sources and what is the percentage of use of these resources in Croatia and in the rest of Europe.
The technical side of photovoltaic power plants and solar panels told Saša Ukić from 3t Cable, our local company from Ičići. The work in progress on the family house of Damir Medved served as an example.
In order for such a project to be financially stable, it is necessary to make a good calculation. Everything that needs to be included in such a calculation as a cost is explained by Damir Jurčić the University Support Centre for Smart and Sustainable Cities.
There were also a lot of direct questions from the audience to which the lecturers responded very competently. It is a real refreshment to hear that with a good company and technical support, everything is possible even though there are certain obstacles to installing a photovoltaic power plant.
The conclusion is that it is not very simple, it should be equipped with knowledge and information and patience in always difficult and complicated administration. Despite all the problems and still vague laws with these alternative energy sources, demand is high.
Mini-jam session
After an hour and a lot of technical, financial and statistical information, electric grills and mini jam session gigs started. In the band (yet) without changes played: Benedikt Perak guitar, Siniša Babić bass guitar, guest from Graz Saša Mitrović trumpet, and as the second surprise guest joined Stipe Bilić on the piano. Pleasant sounds of light jazz filled the courtyard of the Drenova Social Center to the visible satisfaction of the audience. After a break and refreshment with food and drinks, the band played several popular tunes, so the audience was given the opportunity to sing.
Recording of the lecture
Be sure to watch the video of the technical presentation of the Solar grill on our you tube channel:
The next Solar Grill II is on Friday, July 29 at 6 p.m. where energy communities will be discussed.

As part of the joint activities to establish the energy communities of Drenova and Veprinac, we organized lectures entitled Energy Communities – Theory and Practice of Solar Power Plants, which explain a little deeper the technology of photovoltaic systems, the benefits of introducing sensors in our houses, how to finance the energy community and the currently open tenders for co-financing.
Theory and practice of solar power plants - lecture by dr.sc. Josip Zdenković, Schrack Technik
Schack Technik is one of the most renowned companies in the field of technical solutions in energy and telecommunications, and dr.sc. Josip Zdenković has been in the company Schrack Technik in Zagreb since 2008, where he is still the director. His main area of expertise is electric motor drives and renewable electricity sources – especially batteries (Be sure to check out his lecture on battery dimensioning).
It was really great to listen to the lecture of the doyens of renewable energy sources dr.sc. Josip Zdenković, and especially to flip through his book Photovoltaic island systems which we can freely call the Bible of solar technologies. We can certainly recommend that you get your free copy if you are interested in examples of good practice and a handful of technical information.
Processes, Sensors and Finance
- 10 STEP from design to grid connection of own small PV plant – Saša Ukić, 3t.Cable
- Smart Home Solutions (Efficient Energy Management) - Damir Medved, EZ Drenova, Association Without Borders
- Opportunities for alternative sources of financing: Damir Juričić, Center for Support to Smart and Sustainable Cities of the University of Rijeka,
- Available sources of financing photovoltaic plants from HR and EU projects, Tina Ragužin, 3t.Cable
This is only the first in a series of joint lectures that we will organize at Drenova and Veprinac in order to promote the concepts of civic energy, which should result in the formation of the Drenova Energy Cooperative and the Veprinac Energy Community – these two peripheral settlements of larger cities really share a lot of common interests. Only together we can make some progress – we look forward to working together!
