Alex co-founded Solar Sherpa after installing solar panels on his own home in 2021. The process turned out to be harder than it should have been, with weeks of conflicting advice from installers and not much reliable information to go on. So he set about learning how solar systems actually work: the components, how they fit together, and how to tell a dependable installer from a pushy one. When friends and family started asking him for advice, Alex teamed up with his friend Gustav to turn that research into Solar Sherpa, a straightforward way for homeowners to understand their options, weigh up costs and savings, and find installers worth trusting. He writes about the practical side of going solar: what to look for, what to question, and the common mistakes worth avoiding.
