The world is experiencing a rapid shift towards renewable energy sources due to the increasing demand for energy and the need to address the climate change crisis. Among these sources, solar energy is one of the most promising and rapidly growing forms of renewable energy. In this article, we will discuss the rise of solar energy and its potential to revolutionize the world’s energy systems.
Solar energy is harnessed from the sun using solar panels, which capture sunlight and convert it into electricity. The energy generated by solar panels is known as solar power and can be used for various purposes, including powering homes, businesses, and even entire cities. The use of solar energy has gained popularity over the years due to its numerous benefits, including its environmental friendliness, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness.

As Managing Partner of Wattcrop (https://www.wattcrop.com) I had the pleasure of moderating a panel of two experts from companies representing different aspects within the renewable energy market. The key discussion topic evolved around strategies on how to boost returns from your Solar PV assets. The discussion focused on three main issues.
A. Effective, and pre-emptive, O&M strategies that are vital in maintaining high revenue from your assets
B. Applied strategies you can use to increase capacity, and thus returns
C. Active Management and Site Montioring technologies you should use.

Be Bold. Make the Change. Have a meaningful Impact.

According to Eric Ries, who first applied the term pivot to startups in his book “The Lean Startup” a pivot is defined as a change in strategy, without a change in vision.
A pivot should and does occur when a company shifts its business strategy to accommodate changes in the industry, customer preference, competitive landscape, or any factor that impacts the bottom line. Pivoting allows a company to translate direct or indirect feedback into a change to the business model.
The people who know me and have interacted with me professionally know that I am fanatic about testing of all business assumptions and of all aspects of a business model. A pivot will be applied after testing out an approach and receiving feedback.
When should you pivot? Pivoting is not a solution to all problems, not a panacea to all shortfalls. It should be considered when other options have been considered and excluded.

There’s a notion that technology such as machinery and chemical products destroy our environment. After all, most technological advancements either pollute the earth or release harmful gases.
However, scientists and engineers are making this right by developing green technology. In fact, the green tech market is expected to grow from $8.79 billion in 2019 to $48.36 billion by 2027. That’s a rapid growth of 24.8% in just 8 years. Green technology will seek better and efficient energy and minimise the impact on the environment while enhancing economics and the people’s quality of life.
Green tech may seem like a thing of the future, but it’s already here and many are already accessible to the market such as home solar panels and personal electric scooters. However, how do these technologies affect the environment? Do they truly help the environment? Here are just some of the ways green tech makes the environment greener.

We are fortunate that we live in the Renewable Energy Renaissance. The penetration of Renewable Energy Assets is increasing exponentially even with the COVID Restrictions and distributed energy generation will be the new norm.
As we are coming to terms with this new reality, we will need to be aware of the risks associated with managing multiple generating assets. Information and data are key within this environment, as the industry evolves into unsubsidized full merchant mode.
Before we venture deeper into the importance of Cybersecurity, we should perhaps define it. What is Cybersecurity?
“Cyber security refers to technologies, processes and controls that are designed to protect systems, networks, devices and data from attacks and unauthorised access.”

Almost a decade ago I wrote an article, titled “How to Survive an economic Recession for Dummies”, when the financial crisis had caught-up with me back in 2009-2010.
At the time I went through a catastrophic failure, as all the ventures I had collapsed, I had to make all my employees redundant and see everything I had worked hard to build over 5 years, collapsing within a period of six months.
So, I started writing more as a self-healing process reflecting my personal lessons from my own failures, rather than anything else. It was then when I took the decision to become an expat and start over, firstly in the Netherlands (didn’t work out…) and then in the UK.
Never in my worst nightmares would I have expected to live in such a short period of time a second (some say deeper) financial recession, this time due to a global pandemic.
