community-partners – SOLAR STEWARDS

Solar for All

Our Community Partners ensure the positive impacts of the Solar Stewards Program are felt throughout the community and throughout the world. These NGOs and non-profits embody the mission of Solar Stewards by multiplying the social investment in inclusive and innovative ways that help share the benefits of solar to all populations and generations.

COMMUNITY PARTNERS

With the purchase of Social RECs generated on our Solar Host Sites, our Climate Stewards are able to impact social initiatives that invest in communities through our network of Community Partners.

The Solar Stewards Program works closely with our Community Partners to facilitate positive impact, report progress, and tell the sustainability story. Most importantly, the work of our Community Partners yields generous returns in the form of energy savings, training for new jobs, and teaching the next generation.
