Modern technology is all about efficiency and speed, but technological advances are about much more than the new electric car or improved solar panels, it is about moving forward and advancing. Moving away from our reliance on fossil fuels and becoming greener in our emissions by reducing them to net-zero where possible.
Net-zero means not adding any new emissions to the atmosphere then is already there. Emissions will continue but will be balanced by absorbing an equivalent amount from the atmosphere to help balance the output of carbon emissions.

When people hear the words ‘solar power’ they instantly think of regular old solar panels on rooftops or in a solar farm in the desert, and with good reason. Traditional utility-scale and rooftop solar panels have dominated the solar market up to this…
