Summary

The warmer weather is here and, with it, solar energy is on my mind. Sun-thing tells me I'm into something good.

We'll be speaking to some of the players, big and small, in the solar industry in this country and around Europe, all with the shared goal of trying to build a sustainable future in which nobody is left hungry and cold either this winter, or in the coming years...
