Desirable Small-Scale Solar Power Production in a Global Context: Local Tradition-Inspired Solutions to Global Issues

A case study on an existing polder addresses several environmental issues, risk man-agement concerns related to localities served by existing non-permanent dams, energy requirements that can meet a locality's needs during the renewable energy transition, and their impact on both rural and urban built environments. Cultural landscape preservation or solar regeneration on agricultural plots focuses on traditionally in-spired design in Romania's rural wetland areas, emphasising the technical versus hu-manistic approach as an optimum path through an inspiring "Dyads". The Dyads, in very few words, are related to Bennett's systematic approach to ensure the Knowledge necessary for achieving Understanding without experiencing it. With a double ways spiral, the defined methodology applies Energy as solar photovoltaic technology to water-related Nature aspects in the Built environment without reducing or harming the relevant water management related to Nature or Built cultural Heritage. The Solar Regeneration Monad "Built – Nature – Energy" is a holistic visual framework replicable to any built environment for a "Built" Regenerative Culture that enables the identifica-tion of the best solution for the conservation of cultural heritage values in an "Energy" transition context with "Nature", biodiversity, or other water-related issues.
