In highly dense cities the potential from solar in the energy mix is only around 10%. This would make that contribution much higher - but they should only replace existing hard surfaces!
The Lord Mayor’s Dragon Awards #dragonawards2021 have so many amazing projects. Congratulations to Sushil and for supporting it this year.
