Tell us about Orb Energy’s journey…
We launched in 2006. At that time, solar was 40 times the current cost, and so the only applications for solar were off-grid. We then targeted rural and semi-urban areas where customers suffered from unreliable power. Today, solar is a fraction of what it used to cost, and it has broad applicability across residential, commercial, and industrial customers.
