Why we financed this project

Renewables.org helps finance solar where each dollar creates the most carbon impact — across the Global South in India and Africa.

Our investment methodology, the Impact Multiplier, ensures that every dollar invested on Renewables.org creates more than five times the carbon impact it would have if it had instead been built in the United States.

This project prevents 7.2x the carbon of US solar.
Higher carbon prevention creates a greater impact per dollar
This project cost 40% of the price it would have in the U.S.
Cheaper projects avoid more carbon per dollar invested
This region's grid is 220% more C02 intensive than in the U.S.
Projects in carbon intensive regions avoid more carbon
This project gets 30% more sunshine than U.S. solar.
Projects that get more sunshine avoid more carbon
This region's energy mix has 40% less fully sustainable sources than in the United States.

What happens when I invest?
Your repayments are generated by solar projects like these.

Invest in Global South solar, then track your impact and repayments.

Each $25 investment in the Renewables Fund is a Panel. Over five years, we invest your money with solar developers who pay you back with revenue earned by operating sites like the ones pictured.

What is a Panel?

A Panel is a $25 share of the Renewables Fund. When you invest in a Panel, we lend your money to Global South solar developers. They pay the Fund back, and the fund in turn pays you back monthly.

Panels do not represent a financial stake in an individual solar project.

More about repayments

Your repayments are earned by operating solar projects managed by the developers we lend to. Repayments come from the sale of renewable energy across our portfolio.

Repayments are drawn from the Renewables Fund, not individual projects.
