A Solarvillage is a settlement model for a future community or peace village. It can be generalised and can be established at any place on earth that has a fair amount of sunshine.

Energy autonomy or self-sufficiency represents the most important generic term in the presently unfolding solar era. Regionally used energies, produced from selfsufficient resources, not only allow the liberation from heteronomy especially to the poorest and most sun-intensive areas of the world, but also serve the development of autonomous inter-linked structures right down to village level.

Juergen Kleinwaechter, physicist and inventor from Loerrach/Germany, has developed a variety of solar systems and components which he has assembled to form an integral, multi-functional overall system – the “Solar Power Village”. This system, a symbiosis for plant growth and solar energy production, is designed in such a way to be able to be constructed almost entirely in the user-countries.

In the peace research centre Tamera, in Portugal, the first 1:1 prototype model of Juergen Kleinwaechter's technology in combination with the social knowledge of Tamera is being developed.
This pioneering synergy between technology, nature and human being is a vital element in any strategic proposals towards a global culture of peace.
