“I believe the wording of the question was design a product to change the world”
Millions of people still live without reliable energy. When David James left his career in finance, he didn’t go traveling or set out to “find himself.” Instead, he poured everything into turning his passion project into a business with real impact, one that contributes to achieving SDG7: universal energy access.
His company, Iris Solar, is redefining renewable energy with a patent-pending design that’s 40% more efficient than fixed panels. It’s lightweight, cable-free, and built for effortless, plug-and-play use—ready to scale.
In today’s episode, I sit down with David to learn more about the technology he’s created, why he chose to leave finance to pursue this mission, and how Iris Solar could grow in the coming years.
