When you back solar projects on Renewables.org, your money is deposited in the Renewables Fund, which lends to developers building high impact solar projects. These developers pay Renewables.org a market rate of return, around 5-10%.

• Renewables.org repays you the principal of your purchase over time, and keeps the interest earned to fund itself.
• This interest allows Renewables.org to cover its operating costs and advance its non-profit mission.
• Renewables.org also accepts donations from foundations and individuals.
