We were honoured and thrilled to host a visit from Her Royal Highness, The Princess Royal, on Wednesday 27th March.
Her Royal Highness was introduced to Power Roll’s team of almost 50 scientists, engineers and apprentices, as well as key academic partners, government representatives and lead investors such as Green Angel Ventures and Kero Group.
Neil Spann, CEO of Power Roll, said: “It was an absolute honour to host Her Royal Highness. I'm thrilled we could share with her how we're building on the rich history of energy production, deployment and research in the North East, as we do our bit to push scientific boundaries and tackle climate challenge through our pioneering solar technology."
We were keen to highlight to Her Royal Highness how our solar film could supercharge a rural rooftop revolution in the farming, equestrian and food production sectors; while protecting land for agricultural and recreational use.
Neil added: “As Her Royal Highness saw, we have proven the science and scalability of Power Roll’s technology at our Durham pilot facility. The next step is to build a first-of-a-kind commercial scale factory, with a target capacity of one million square meters of solar film per year, for which we have already identified a site here in the North East and are making good progress in raising the necessary investment.”
