Corrie Energy Partners is building a revolutionary solar tracker that increases energy yield, reduces costs, and enables dual-use land, specifically designed for northern climates.
One of the most significant obstacles to Net Zero is the massive waste of solar potential in the northern 40% of the global market. Above 40° latitude, traditional "static" panels squander 10% of total solar potential because they cannot follow the sun’s path. As a high-stakes hardware venture moving from R&D to commercial scale, the challenge is building the operational "muscles" required to turn technical success into a global market leader.
Our patented Latitude40 tracker solves the "tracking gap" by radically rethinking solar kinematics for northern regions. It unlocks up to 30% more energy per panel than static arrays and generates power during high-value peak hours when demand is highest. Our design reduces mechanical loads by 90% to ensure a 25-year lifespan in harsh conditions, while our proprietary firmware transforms solar arrays into intelligent, grid-responsive assets.
Role Overview:
We are looking for a mission-driven Manufacturing & Supply Chain Advisor to lead our transition from prototype to a scalable UK operation. You will be instrumental in securing the partners and certifications required to move our hardware from a proven invention to a commercially "bankable" global asset.
Key Responsibilities:
