00:00 Okay, then Don, so what was it like to welcome the Princess here today and what did she do on her visit?
00:05 Yes, so we were delighted to welcome Her Royal Highness the Princess, Princess Anne, to Power World today.
00:12 She came out to take a look at our factory and operation. We're doing some very innovative work in green tech, particularly in solar technology, and it was wonderful to have her come visit today.
00:25 And in terms of what the product can be used for, I understand it's quite a revolutionary product, so how do you envisage this being used in the future?
00:31 Yes, so what we've done is we've created a very unique disruptive product called Solar Film, and it combines the low cost of silicon but as you can see a very lightweight, flexible format.
00:43 So there are millions of square meters of roof surfaces, you think of agriculture and industrial rooftops that currently for whatever reason can't really support the weight of a traditional silicon panel.
00:55 Well, we're coming up with a technology that can turn those currently non-productive buildings into green energy producing structures.
01:03 So it's very exciting to contribute to the UK sustainability and eventually the global sustainability agenda.
