Imagine a world where reliable energy is accessible to everyone, regardless of location. This isn't just a dream; it's the driving force behind David James and his revolutionary company, Iris Solar Technology. In a compelling new episode of the Sustainable Times podcast, Editorial Manager Daisy Moll delves into the story of a man who traded the world of finance for a mission to illuminate lives.

David James's journey is far from ordinary. Instead of a sabbatical or a career pivot into something conventionally "relaxing," he embarked on a mission to tackle one of the world's most pressing challenges: universal energy access, a key component of the UN's Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG7). Millions worldwide lack reliable energy, hindering their ability to thrive. James recognised this critical gap and dedicated himself to bridging it.

Their patent-pending solar panel design boasts a remarkable 40% increase in efficiency compared to traditional fixed panels. This isn't just a marginal improvement; it's a significant leap forward in harnessing the sun's power. Furthermore, the panels are designed for ease of use, being lightweight, cable-free, and offering a seamless, plug-and-play experience. This simplicity is crucial for scalability, making it easier to deploy solar energy solutions in remote and underserved communities.

In this insightful podcast episode, Daisy Moll explores the driving forces behind David's decision to leave finance and dedicate himself to this impactful endeavour. She uncovers the intricate details of Iris Solar's ground-breaking technology and delves into the company's ambitious plans for future growth.
