About this listen
In Episode 6 of Sustainable Solutions, host Lee Fondiller, COO at Solar4Pools, Inc., invites listeners to rethink what solar energy really looks like. While rooftop panels have defined solar for decades, a new generation of innovations is pushing renewable energy far beyond traditional boundaries.
This episode explores the cutting edge of solar technology—from next-generation materials like perovskites to flexible, lightweight solar cells that can be woven into fabric, integrated into consumer devices, or embedded directly into buildings. Lee breaks down how tandem solar cells, bifacial panels, and building-integrated photovoltaics are reshaping architecture, transportation, and everyday energy use.
Listeners will also gain insight into the often-overlooked power of solar thermal technology, including practical applications like solar pool heating and water heating, where simplicity and efficiency create massive energy savings. Together, these innovations reveal a future where solar power is seamless, adaptable, and everywhere.
