À PROPOS DE CET ÉPISODE
🎯 In this episode: Patrick Sherwin, Founder and CEO of GoSun, joins Net Zero Compare to discuss what makes clean-energy technology genuinely practical, from solar economics and distributed generation to EV charging, resilience, product design, and manufacturing. Drawing on more than two decades of experience with solar and off-grid energy systems, Sherwin explains why technical performance and emissions reductions are only part of the equation. For clean technologies to succeed, they also need to be reliable, convenient, durable, and economically attractive.
The conversation explores how businesses should evaluate solar investments, including electricity costs, system lifetime, maintenance, installer quality, site suitability, and the differences between ownership and solar-as-a-service models. Sherwin stresses that the lowest upfront price does not always deliver the strongest long-term economics. The episode also looks at portable solar EV charging and the wider role of distributed energy. Solar, batteries, and electric vehicles can help users reduce dependence on the grid, improve resilience, and create more flexible ways to generate, store, and use electricity. Sherwin also discusses the challenges of developing and manufacturing physical clean-tech products. He explains why successful technologies often come from solving a clear problem simply, rather than adding unnecessary features, and why manufacturing decisions involve trade-offs between cost, supply-chain control, quality, and resilience. A key takeaway is that businesses should evaluate climate technologies based on real-world performance, realistic economics, maintenance needs, and the problem they are actually trying to solve. Innovation matters, but implementation determines whether a technology creates lasting value.
