Since 2014, over 400 university and college students have trained to become clean energy leaders as RE-volv Solar Ambassadors.

On March 30th, LifeLine Animal Project, Georgia's largest animal welfare nonprofit, celebrated their solar ribbon cutting with Georgia Tech’s Solar Ambassador team, led by Julia Fleischman and Chloe Weed. Julia shared, “It helps the animal shelter, it helps the students, and it also helps the environment.” Watch the full video below! ⬇️ Ready to bring your skills to the Solar Ambassador Fellowship program?

The IRA is making a real difference in communities nationwide. 👏 Thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act’s (IRA) Direct Pay provision, nonprofits and houses of worship can unlock 30% or more cash back on the cost of their solar systems. Plumas Charter School is a no-cost, K-12 public school in Quincy, CA that provides education to over 300 students, 48% from low-income families. The school went solar with RE-volv in 2023, and received significant savings through the IRA’s Direct Pay. Taletha Washburn, Executive Director of the charter school, shared that their experience going solar was like “magic landed in our lap.” ✨ Watch ➡ https://lnkd.in/eNgxXa9y More about Plumas Charter School ➡ https://lnkd.in/eKvXiKBn

Today at the White House! Over 50 selected faith leaders from across the US gathered for a convening on Climate, Clean Energy and Environmental Justice. 🏛⚡ Alongside California Interfaith Power & Light and Jacquelyn Badejo (she, her), RE-volv was grateful for the opportunity to share stories of how Direct Pay can benefit communities today. 👏 The presentation centered on Watts-Willowbrook Church of Christ’s solar journey, and how they will function as a resiliency hub for the Compton, Watts, and Willowbrook communities – providing AC during heatwaves and air filtration during poor air quality days. Jacquelyn Badejo, environmental activist and representative from the congregation shared that, “The community is becoming more familiar with solar. I would say that the Watts-Willowbrook Church of Christ going solar is a ray of hope, showcasing what is possible to other congregations and residents in the community.” The Watts-Willowbrook Church of Christ solar project was a part of the broader BIPOC Houses of Worship Initiative, aiming to accelerate the deployment of solar energy for BIPOC-led faith-based organizations. This initiative is a partnership between Interfaith Power & Light, RE-volv and Green The Church with support from National Renewable Energy Laboratory's Solar Energy Innovation Network.
