What is The Impact of Solar Energy?
Solar energy has the potential to boost sustainability and reduce carbon emmissions. Scalable for personal or industrial use, solar power mitigates climate change and can be deployed on rooftops, vacant land, and deserts, minimising environmental impact compared to fossil fuels.
What is Energy Storage in Renewables?
Energy storage unlocks the full potential of renewables by storing excess energy for use when supply is low, or demand is high. It enables a more reliable, flexible grid, and reduces reliance on fossil fuels.
