This week on CleanTalk, Director-Producer Luke Harmer visits Above to speak with Founder CEO Will Hitchcock. Above provides solar surveying, data and analytics solutions and is helping asset owners in around 25 countries manage construction, maximise their asset lifespans, increase yield and reduce maintenance costs with their drone hardware and software technology. • In this episode you'll hear a story about how passions for sustainability, efficiency, aeronautics, technology and climate converged at just the right time in Will's life to make a valuable contribution to the solar power generation industry. We explore the challenges the industry faces in adopting greater diligence and agency in the use of data, the establishment of digital twins, the challenges of co-operating with upstream contributors in the solar supply chain, how the solar supply chain differs from other renewables' supply chains, and how Above plans to bring Europe's knowledge and experience in solar power generation to the USA in the future. • Enjoy! • ____________________ • Connect with Will on LinkedIn: / willhitchcockuk • Learn more about Above's solar plant data and analytics solutions: https://www.abovesurveying.com/ • Book your ticket to RE+, North America's largest clean energy event: https://www.re-plus.com/attend/ • Join the CleanTalk community on LinkedIn: / 12991627 • ____________________ • CleanTalk is produced by Harmer Visuals, a corporate film production company specialising in data-driven storytelling for organisations across the renewable energy and clean technology world.
