The 2006 Annual Report begins as follows: "Very dark prospects for the future of our planet have been looking for some time. However, it seems that Al Gore manages to shine a spotlight on this gloomy subject so impressively that an ever greater proportion of the inhabitants of this earth are becoming aware of climate change."

Activities at ADES look less bleak. A second location has already been opened with the commissioning of a carpentry workshop in Ejeda. Its employees produce and sell 128 solar cookers between May and December. In the first five years, ADES has sold a total of 1600 solar cookers.

In Switzerland, the association celebrates its 5th anniversary at the Tann-Rüti garden centre with a charity summer night buffet attended by around 100 guests. The first general meeting is also held in the summer. Another premiere is ADES' participation in the International Solar Cooking Conference, which takes place in Granada, Spain, in 2006.
