About Renewables.org
Renewables.org seeks to launch a ‘Kiva for solar’ – where you can finance high-impact solar projects across the Global South & get repaid over 5 years.
The Problem
80% of CO2 growth will take place in the Global South. To effectively mitigate climate change, we should accelerate clean energy where a) grids are dirtiest and b) costs are lowest. Countries across Africa and India are in this sweet spot.
Our Solution
Renewables.org is an online solar investing non-profit that allows anyone to finance solar panels across the Global South and get repaid over five years. By building the world’s highest carbon-impact solar projects, Renewables.org amplifies the carbon avoidance of its users as much as 19 times compared to a comparable U.S. located solar investment.
Renewables.org is a non-profit with a philanthropic mission to make it easy for every day people to do something very high impact to combat climate change.
