Solar: Powering the transition

Solar power has huge potential to be a driving factor in the energy transition over the next five years. In fact, Harald Överholm, CEO and co-founder of Alight believes solar could account for up to 50% of global energy production within our lifetime. In this episode Harald discusses some of the critical success factors of solar energy, including its low price, sustainability and scalability – all of which result in solar being one of the most accessible energy sources available for both the corporate and consumer markets. We also discuss some of the incremental advances in solar technology that are helping to reduce costs and boost demand from larger corporates, and the impact this has on the industry as a whole.

Finally, Harald describes the vital role of entrepreneurs within the renewable energy industry to bring new passion, vision and experience, all of which will help increase momentum for the energy transition. To find out more or read the transcription, please visit www.dnv.com/talksenergy
