What if solar isn’t new, but the way we use it is?
In this episode of the Solar&StorageXtra podcast, guest host Ken Davies is joined by Dr KT Tan, Chief Technical Officer at Viridian Solar and a board member of Solar Energy UK.
KT shares the story of his unlikely leap from biotechnology into solar, and what led to the discovery of solar power in the first place.
KT and Ken also unpack the intricacies of integrated PV design and fire safety, and the role of product reliability in building industry trust, with KT providing his wisdom as a stalwart member of the solar sector.
“The last report has done by BRE back in 2017 indicated that most of the fires come from either the DC isolator, or DC connectors – but that report was a long time ago. Now, the consensus in the industry is that we have the problem of DC arcing.”
– Dr KT Tan
