Why Envision a Sustainable Future for Solar?
Electra is born from my deep commitment to circularity and regenerative economics—where we don't just expand renewable energy but do it sustainably, re-innovating to minimize waste and maximize resource reuse.
My vision for Electra is to catalyze a mindset shift around systems and resources. By fueling responsible recycling, we spawn industry growth and fund more projects, leading to massive global solar expansion.
