Renewables.org is the Global South solar investing non-profit. We've helped build dozens of solar projects across India and Africa. Anyone can invest in high impact solar and get paid back as their Panels sell carbon free electricity. • Users lend money by investing in a $25 Panel. • We lend that money to emerging market developers who use it to build solar projects. • As the solar projects generate and sell carbon-free electricity, users get paid back. As our community grows, we'll accelerate solar deployment in the places where it makes the most climate impact.

Renewables.org is an environmental non-profit – we seek out the highest impact-per-dollar solar investments and provide a scalable and resilient source of capital via our non-profit investing platform. The investments we’ve identified as having the highest carbon prevention per dollar are Global South commercial solar facilities. Directly, we are serving two constituencies – one side of our market are solar investors who use Renewables.org because it is the highest impact and most reputable place to avoid carbon emissions. On the other side, we work with Global South solar developers who can obtain financing from us once they meet our impact requirements. While reduced carbon emissions and climate action benefits everyone – Global South solar creates secondary benefits in the relatively low-income regions where we build it: • Cleaner air from reduced use of local diesel generators and coal infrastructure. • Economic growth and resilience due to more abundant, reliable, and cheaper energy. • Many of the solar projects we help finance are in remote regions out of reach of traditional finance and banking, which lead to underdevelopment. These powerful secondary benefits improve quality of life and economic opportunity where it is badly needed.
