“ The technology continues to improve and evolve , and it really comes down to the battery technology which I think will bring us to a point where we will see a huge reduction in traditional power sources . It ’ s going to be interesting to see how this develops because you ’ ve got some competing forces … You want to reduce carbon footprint and carbon emissions because this industry has a lot of generators that are fired with diesel fuel . We need to address that . The evolution of solar represents a great opportunity to do that so we will continue to develop a skill set to deliver these solar projects . Already , a lot of the big hyperscale customers will typically build a solar deployment to offset what they ’ re taking from the grid . Eventually , I think you could see solar deployments that are directly set into the grid , so we ’ re moving in the right direction .” EXECUTIVE BIO
