In the last month, we had the pleasure of attending the Sustainable Startup Investment Summit at the Barbican, and the Inaugural Stakeholderz Summit! It was inspiring to connect with and hear pitches from founders who share our commitment to sustainability and innovation. Events like these remind us of the incredible progress being made by the clean energy community— and the power of collaboration. Thank you to the Sustainable Times and Stakeholderz for the invitations, and to everyone who shared their insights and visions with us. Together, we’re moving the needle towards net-zero! 🌱🌍

Thank you to everyone who joined us on Wednesday night for our product launch event! It was a perfect opportunity to unveil our Iris T1 with such an engaged audience, and share the journey that led to its creation. We were inspired to see that our excitement and belief in Iris was matched by our guests— this sort of positive reinforcement is what motivates us to keep growing. A special shoutout to Jessica O'Dell and The Engineering & Design Institute London (TEDI-London) for letting us host at their ideal venue, and for their continued support and collaboration. We must also take a moment to salute the Iris macaroons (courtesy of Camille Damsleth), whose lives were short-lived but enjoyed by all, and put Ladurée to shame… Lastly, a congratulations is in order for Zoe Horne, who took home the prize for her closest guess on the T1 diameter— well done Zoe! Stay tuned for more updates on our journey— this is just the beginning!

🚀 Solar PV Trackers Reach New Heights 🌞 The solar industry has hit a new milestone! A recent report by Wood Mackenzie highlights a record-breaking 92GW of solar PV tracker shipments last year, a 40% increase from the year prior. This surge underscores the growing importance of solar trackers in maximizing energy output and efficiency for utility-scale projects. 🔹 Why It Matters: Solar trackers are essential in boosting the performance of solar panels by optimizing their orientation towards the sun, increasing energy yield. With the market leaders driving 80% of global shipments, innovation and expertise are key to advancing solar technology. At Iris Solar, we’re proud to be part of this movement with our Iris T1 solar tracker, which is coming next year (along with other products thereafter). By integrating cutting-edge design and performance, we're committed to delivering solutions that not only meet but exceed the growing demand for clean, sustainable energy. Join us in driving the future of solar energy, where innovation meets sustainability! 🌍⚡ #Sustainability #Innovation #RenewableEnergy #SolarTrackers #CleanTech For more insights, check out the full article here: https://lnkd.in/grag5Pac
