A thin lime circle tells you which two words this page is about.
The headline sits over a sunset photo of a panel field. The "Get started" and "Explore innovations" buttons share the circle's lime, so the eye moves from the circled words straight to the next step.
Large faded capitals repeat those two words across the sky, faint enough to stay inside the photo. On mobile they break onto two lines, and the headline and button stack above two frosted cards.
Only two words of "Solar Energy for Your Home and Business" are lime, and the whole page follows them.
