Description

The article discusses the opportunities of solar energy, arguing that New Zealand should focus on integrating solar power into urban areas to enhance energy security and disaster resilience. Instead of large, centralised solar farms, utilising rooftops in cities can provide local, renewable energy, reduce emissions, and improve resilience during extreme weather events and power outages.
