“Sola.io is challenging the current energy status quo and enabling our communities and businesses to transition to renewable energy in a cost-effective and efficient manner. I believe there are inequalities in Renewable Energy, as it has been a commodity for the wealth to purchase to be able to have access to cheaper electricity. This is not right and we need to enable everyone who is paying electricity today, the ability to support and be a part of the renewable energy transition.”

Alan Hunter, CEO and Founder, Sola.io
