We believe that everyone should have the ability to support and spread clean energy within their communities.
So we created a new way for people to take action. It's a pretty simple idea. Through an innovative solar financing model, RE-volv and our Solar Ambassadors help nonprofits all over the country go solar and immediately save on their electricity costs. As these nonprofits pay us back, we reinvest the money into more solar projects in communities across the country.
This creates a revolving fund for solar energy that continually perpetuates itself, building more and more solar. It's a pay-it-forward model for solar energy. We call it the Solar Seed Fund.
