Cofounded by one of the creators of Kiva, Renewables.org is the non-profit that lets anyone invest in solar projects and create climate impact across the Global South. For as little as $25, anyone can fund the building of solar panels, where they can do the most good, while getting paid back in five years.

Changing the world, one Panel at a time

When a Panel is purchased, Renewables.org invests the funds with developers building the world’s highest impact solar projects in the Global South. Repayments are made monthly, over five years, as Panels generate carbon-free electricity.

Just in time for the holiday season, Renewables.org has launched gift cards, encouraging the purchase of a high-impact gift for socially and environmentally conscious friends, family, and employees. They’ll earn repayments as their Panels generate carbon-free energy. And with each repayment, recipients can pocket their earnings, or reinvest in additional Panels.

“Dollar for dollar, investment in Global South solar has 5 times the carbon impact of U.S. projects. Now, anyone can multiply their impact with Renewables.org,” said Premal Shah, Cofounder of Renewables.org and Kiva.org.
