Watt It Takes
with Samuel Adeyemo

The cost of solar panels has fallen 99% since 1980. But the cost of everything else involved in installing those panels—the paperwork, the design, the sales process—is now higher than the hardware itself.  Aurora Solar makes software designed to tackle them all together. In this episode of Watt It Takes, Aurora Co-Founder & CRO Samuel Adeyemo shares how he turned a challenging experience with a solar installation in Kenya into a company valued at $2 billion.
