pārgājienā Austrijas kalnos.
this beautiful, stone, remote hut,
nomaļu akmens būdu,
saules paneļi.
I get very enthusiastic.
kad redzu saules paneļus.
which is free and available,
un brīvi pieejamo saules gaismu
on a beautiful location,
brīnišķīgā vietā,
always have to be so ugly?
vienmēr jābūt tik neglītiem?
and I'm a solar designer.
un es esmu saules enerģijas dizainere.
sustainability and technology.
un tehnoloģijas trijstūrī.
that expand in size
that use the properties of colors
izmanto krāsu īpašības.
muzejos visā pasaulē,
all over the world, such as MoMA.
that something was missing.
ka kaut kā tomēr pietrūkst.
called the "Solar Revolution,"
"Saules enerģijas revolūcija",
we receive enough sunlight
pietiekami daudz saules gaismas,
with enough electricity
ar elektrību veselu gadu.
I just want to focus on solar.
pievērsties tikai saules enerģijai.
solar panels more efficient and cheaper.
efektīvākus un lētākus.
has dropped enormously.
tātad ir daudzkārt kritusies,
started producing them on a large scale.
has increased a lot.
ir arī to efektivitāte,
of 44.5 percent.
about the image of solar cells,
par saules bateriju izskatu,
for the last 60 years.
just stacked onto something.
kas kaut kam ir vienkārši piestiprināta.
integrated into our environment.
jāiekļaujas mūsu vidē.
problem of our time.
ir mūsdienu lielākā problēma.
the government, the engineers --
valdības, inženieri.
things through design.
dažus savu darbu piemērus.
the crystal company.
kristālu ražotāju.
onto a certain place.
un novirzīt uz konkrētu vietu.
to focus the light onto a solar panel,
lai koncentrētu gaismu uz saules paneļa
but using aesthetics.
taču estētiskā veidā.
with you in the light,
these chandeliers.
elektrību šīm lustrām.
bringing the light indoors.
burtiski ienesta iekštelpās.
when I came across this technology
ar saules enerģiju,
sauktu par krāsasjutīgām saules baterijām.
kas darbojas līdzīgi kā fotosintēze augos.
on photosynthesis in plants.
converts light into sugar for plants,
gaismu pārvērš cukurā,
into electricity.
ka tās darbojas arī iekštelpās.
have different efficiency,
on the color spectrum.
red is more efficient than blue.
ir efektīvāka nekā zilā.
a glass colored surface,
krāsota stikla virsma...
just used for esthetics,
estētiskiem nolūkiem,
and is able to harvest electricity,
un spēj uzkrāt elektrību,

no krāsotajām saules šūnām.
through USB ports.
var uzlādēt telefonus.
it's always very important,
efficiency and aesthetics.
starp efektivitāti un estētiku.
color for indoors.
the most asked question I get:
can I charge from this, then?"
tajā var uzlādēt?"
complicated answer of like,
vai tam ir pietiekami daudz gaismas,
does it have enough light,
that read the light intensity of the room.
kas uztver telpas gaismas intensitāti.
how much light it's getting,
cik daudz gaismas tas saņem
because yesterday we installed a table
jo vakar šādu galdu uzstādījām
caur šo galdu lādē telefonu.
a phone from this table.
the more energy you can harvest.
jo vairāk enerģijas galds var uzkrāt.
in a gallery in London, in Soho,
mēs visus logus nomainījām
could come and charge their phones
un uzlādēt savus telefonus
papildu funkcijas.
just a window anymore.
as a little power station.
about how much I love solar,
cik ļoti mīlu saules enerģiju,
turklāt tā ir piemineklis,
more accessible and for everyone,
padarīt pieejamākas visiem,
that can afford a sustainable lifestyle?
atļauties ilgtspējīgu dzīvesveidu?
where we directly need it.
kur tā vajadzīga.
amazing technologies out there.
pārsteidzošu tehnoloģiju.
I see every surface as an opportunity.
es katru virsmu redzu kā iespēju.
in the train through the Westland,
ar vilcienu cauri Vestlandei,
with all the greenhouses.
stikla sienas un nodomāju:
with transparent solar glass?
caurspīdīgas saules baterijas?
tradicionālo lauksaimniecību,
I created Power Plant.
kā Spēkstacija darbojas.
caurspīdīgu saules stiklu,
iekštelpu klimatam.
that pumps around nutrified water,
piegādā uzturvielām bagātu ūdeni,
to grow more yield per square meter.
vairāk ražas uz kvadrātmetru.
coming from these colored LED lights
no krāsainajām LED spuldzēm.
will live in big cities,
arvien vairāk cilvēku,
from the other side of the world,
nebūs jāved no otras pasaules malas.
on the location itself.
to build these in off-grid places --
būvēt attālās vietās,
to water, electricity --
model of the power plant,
Spēkstacijas modeli,
and experience how plants grow.
un redzēt, kā augi aug.
and for the plants.
all these modern technologies.
visas šīs modernās tehnoloģijas.
"But where are the solar panels?"
"Bet kur ir saules paneļi?"
ka dizains tik tiešām strādā,
design really works,
and you don't notice it.
kas pieejama visiem un visur.
produktīvas visas virsmas.
where all the windows, curtains, walls,
kurās visi logi, aizkari, sienas,
on the place where we need it,
kur tā vajadzīga,
solar cells accessible for everyone.
padarīt pieejamas visiem.
close to the people with you,
saules enerģiju cilvēkiem,
un ar labu dizainu.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Marjan van Aubel - Solar designerMarjan van Aubel promotes extreme energy efficiency through intelligent design.
Why you should listen
Marjan van Aubel is an award-winning solar designer whose innovative practice spans the fields of sustainability, design and technology. In collaboration with scientists, engineers and institutions -- such as Swarovski and ECN.TNO, the Dutch Energy Centre -- van Aubel works to promote extreme energy efficiency through intelligent design. From working with expandable materials to domestically integrating solar cells that mimic the process of photosynthesis in plants, she adds a double function to objects and puts them to work: a table is not just a table, but also a producer of electricity.
Van Aubel strives to redefine our current relationship with solar technology and accelerate its transition to ubiquity. Graduating from the Royal College of Art in 2012 and the Rietveld Academy DesignLAB in 2009, she has since exhibited at world-class institutions, including the V&A (London), the Design Museum (London) and the Stedelijk Museum (Amsterdam). Her work is also part of the permanent collection at the MoMA in New York, the Vitra Design Museum, Boijmans van Beuningen Museum, The Montreal Museum of Art and the National Gallery of Victoria in Australia.
