For encouraging solar energy use
Jochen Bernhard Staudter
MANAGING PARTNER, PHILERGY
Location: Philippines
After moving to Manila from Germany, Jochen Bernhard Staudter was shocked at the price of electricity—and the lack of solar panels on offer. To solve this, he helped set up Philergy, which has grown exponentially selling affordable solar panels around the country. Alongside it, he has set up Instagram account SolarJoe, on which he explains the benefits of sustainable technology and pushes for change in the Philippines’ energy landscape.
