Roeland Driessen
Roeland Driessen is the managing director of Solar Group, a company that provided solar power installation and services in New Zealand. He has been vocal about the slow uptake of solar energy in the country, highlighting that only about 3% of New Zealand homes have solar connections compared to 30-40% in countries like Australia and the United States. Recently, Solar Group has entered liquidation, and Driessen's insights on the challenges facing the solar industry, including cost barriers for consumers, have been significant in understanding the broader context of renewable energy adoption in New Zealand.
