“The numbers might still appear small, but then Aspiration Energy is into the ‘other solar’. These days, when people talk solar, they talk of PV and electricity, but there is another sleeping giant that has been practically forgotten — solar heating.

Aspiration Energy has been and still is at the forefront of this realisation with this featured article being testament to this.
