As the world continues its march towards a greener future, businesses, communities, and individuals alike are all increasingly turning towards renewable energy sources to power their operations. What is most interesting, though, is how many of them are taking the pro-active position of researching, selecting, and implementing their preferred solutions without the assistance of traditional players in the space.

Becoming one’s own energy supplier can be an attractive prospect for any business and is something I’d expect to see more and more of in the future. This is a good thing. Putting solar panels on the likes of superstores and data centres is good for businesses, good for electricity customers, good for the grid, and good for the environment.
