Episode 7: Solar Power - How to Get to Net Zero Electric

In this episode, we’re joined by Andrew Crossland, Director of New Energy at SolarZero, who talks to us about SolarZero and its innovative solution to getting homeowners to net zero electricity fast. A leading solar energy business in New Zealand, SolrZero is on a mission to accelerate New Zealand’s transition to be 100% renewable and lower the cost of energy for Kiwis. We talk to Andrew about the new Solar Subscription product which enables homeowners to access solar panels & smart battery technology to generate 100% renewable, price-protected electricity from the grid and help them save money on their energy bills. We discuss how this differs from existing UK solar finance options such as Rent a Roof and how SolarZero’s solution could be developed in the UK to help homeowners reduce their energy costs and stabilise their electricity bills.
