  • (S5E12) How Circular Is the UK Solar Industry?

    (S5E12) How Circular Is the UK Solar Industry?
    Mar 25 2026
    In this episode, we zoom in on the UK solar market and ask a simple question with big implications: as solar scales fast, is it scaling sustainably? We break down what “circularity” actually means in a solar context, from design choices and maintenance, to decommissioning, reuse, and high-value recycling, so the industry can move beyond the take-make-dispose model.

    We also explore what’s at stake for the UK. With ambitions to ramp up deployment, the key challenge is making circular frameworks mature as quickly as the market, so we don’t solve one problem while creating another.

    Solar energy didn’t start in the 21st century.

    In this special International Women’s Day episode of Ogami Station, we look back at the women who helped shape solar and energy innovation long before it went mainstream, starting with pioneer Maria Telkes.

    From early solar heating and thermal storage to today’s energy transition, this episode explores forgotten stories, present-day data, and why inclusion is still key to building the future of energy.

    (S5E10) Why floating solar could be the next big leap in renewables
    Feb 17 2026
    Floating solar is no longer a futuristic idea, it is already reshaping the renewable energy landscape.

    In this episode, Angie and Ángela break down everything you need to know about floating PV. From how the technology works and why bifacial modules matter, to the real benefits like higher energy yields, reduced water evaporation, and seamless integration with hydropower.

    They explore the challenges and deep dive into global markets, massive projects already operating, and the huge untapped potential sitting on reservoirs around the world. If you are curious about how solar can grow without using land, why floating PV is gaining momentum globally, and what the next decade could look like, this episode is for you.
