In this episode, our guest is Grant McDowell, a visionary entrepreneur and advocate for democratizing access to clean energy. Grant shares his 18-year journey—from dreaming of remote solar matching in Marrickville to launching "Adopt a Panel" in Italy, enabling urban households to access cheaper renewable energy. He discusses the technical and regulatory challenges of integrating solar, batteries, and V2G technologies, the looming transformation from centralised to distributed grids, and the vital need to simplify energy access for consumers. Grant also highlights the rise of the "electro-state" and the urgency of moving from transition to transformation in energy systems. His perspective is both pragmatic and inspiring, rooted in real-world projects and future-ready ideas.
