Solar systems like these are good for Wisconsin's critical energy infrastructure. It's easy to forget a gas or oil furnace needs electricity to run and a small solar system can help keep lights and heat running if the power goes out. Just don't forget about the batteries.

EKOenergy joined the Leapfrog Alliance, a recently launched non-profit coalition calling for more robust incentives to increase corporate investment in clean energy access in unelectrified and underserved communities globally. We would like to see international standards, such as the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol), adopt clear incentives for companies to support projects that improve access to clean energy for all. For example, the often-forgotten Chapter 11 of the Scope 2 Guidance under the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Standard encourages companies to do more and mentions the possibility of contributing funds for new project development. We hope that after its review, it will mention more explicitly that new projects can be particularly impactful when they benefit unelectrified and underserved communities.

Community development is broadly defined as a process where community members come together to take collective action and generate solutions to common problems. Renewable Energy Microgrids: Deploying decentralized energy systems powered by solar panels, wind turbines, and batteries to provide electricity to remote and underserved communities, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and improving energy access. From cutting-edge gear to game-changing classics, we're on it. And we're not keeping the tech party to ourselves – it's all about bringing our solutions out to emerging places for people to celebrate technology for good. We're tapping into our tech superpowers focused on energy, water, food, resources – with our goal to increase sustainability, productivity, and improved quality of life for everyone.

#JASolarBrandMonth At JA Solar, harnessing the power of business for good isn’t just a choice but a responsibility. We believe that true progress happens when economic growth goes hand in hand with meaningful contributions to society. Since it’s established, JA Solar has been committed to spreading warmth and hope, creating a positive ripple effect globally. Whether through industrial revitalization, charity work, or disaster relief, we actively engage in efforts that uplift communities. As the world increasingly values social responsibility and sustainability, JA Solar is determined to expand its journey of kindness, ensuring that our mission "Developing solar power to benefit the planet" becomes a living reality. #CorporateSocialResponsibility #SolarForGood #JAValues #Sustainability #GlobalImpact #DevelopSolarPower #CommunityEmpowerment

This is a great example of how we can all improve sustainability, through big actions and small. Plus it will help keep the lights on when I use the scout hut to vote in July 🙂 #wearearup #netzero #sustainability

Community energy bringing benefits to its community... Certainly worth shouting about! Not only does Ferry Farm Community Energy project generate enough electricity every year to power 1,300 homes, but it's also supported the following community projects through its grants scheme: UKHarvest collects nutritious food to redistribute via the Selsey Community Food Hub to those most in need in the community. Over the past year, the impact has been profound: 2,411 individual visits, feeding 6,056 family members, and distributing 25,458 kgs of rescued food. Selsey Beach Litter Ninjas: To buy protective gear for beach cleans, aiming to improve marine habitats in Selsey by cleaning up litter and protecting local wildlife and coastal ecosystems. Selsey Venture Club: To reduce electricity consumption from it's club building through energy efficiency measures. Mulberry Marine Experiences: To launch the Selsey Junior Marine Ecology Club Manhood Wildlife & Heritage Group: To create an interactive map of green spaces in Selsey Grow Selsey and the Hidden Garden: To develop outreach projects encouraging local interest in food growing, wildlife, and biodiversity. #communityenergy

This article is a good explainer on how non-profits in the U.S. can benefit from solar. Living River sounds awesome, and I like the pictures from our clients here in North Carolina. Want to kick-start the transition from "energy as a service" from your utility? Put a power plant on your roof that will generate cleaner energy!

Thanks everyone for your kind words and messages. I’m afraid that when you’re passionate about something you can sometimes get a little vexed and I didn’t want to be quite so. Please let me back-track a little. My love affair with our Planet and how you could use technology to reduce our impact started in 1984, reading John Elkington book: “Sun Traps”. Like any teenager, I was a sponge to this knowledge. John used science and facts to explain to 12 year old me the importance of renewables and the respect of Energy. I have the privilege of knowing John and many others who’ve tirelessly to drive generations to care more about our planet. I met Tim Smit, founder of Eden whilst hosting a charity fundraiser for our wonderful Community Foundation at our historic HQ in Leeds. We talked (as we always will continue to do) about the worlds wicked problems. A recurring theme is that if we can harness an abundance of renewable energy, we can solve many of the worlds challenges (my own PhD is in thermodynamics - which is key to to furthering this understanding). Each Eden project aims to story-tell a particular important jigsaw piece of a future which is ours to make. We’re lifelong friends. Some would describe both Tim and I as “marmite”. I’d rather be loved by some and hated than be surrounded by ambivalent mediocrity. I've learnt not to apologise for being passionate. I’m a Mancunian. I built a few tech companies, invested in many others and made my home in Yorkshire in the 1990’s. I used to have family holidays in Blackpool, Southport, Morecambe and North Wales. I remember Morecambe in it's heyday. Eden Morecambe is not only a hub, but is a crystallisation of hope and aspiration for our forgotten seaside communities.  Whilst it’s untenable for me to be a Trustee of Eden, I’m a proud Northerner and a firm believer in the North and it’s destiny as the balancing economic centre of mass in the UK. However, I cannot remain on a board who wishes to run a Northern project from Cornwall or with a team whose understanding of the dynamics of the North is flawed. I was the host for the launch of the Northern Powerhouse at our Leeds HQ (and the first member) and I believe strongly that a cohesive North is a force to be reckoned with. I’ve lobbied 5 Prime Ministers for the funding for Eden Morecambe and made each one a firm promise that I would deliver Morecambe and also foster a local Northern supply chain and expertise to do so. Once delivered, the project will be amazing. The whole scope of it is to bring mankind closer to nature through awareness of our own and our planets rhythms. However, to deliver such a polymathic project, there's a need to focus energies on enabling the scientists, local stakeholders and the storytellers, without the distractions of those who don’t share the necessary imagination.  This needs an exec team who recognise the value of Northern relationships and the value of polymathy.

Empowering Rural Communities: The Impact of Solar Power on Access to Energy There are places in the world where when darkness descends, the day's work isn't done, children struggle to read by the dim flicker of kerosene lamps, and fuel costs eat away at a family's meagre income. This is everyday life for millions living in rural communities in the developing world, where access to reliable electricity can be a distant dream or a constant struggle. However, a beacon of hope has arisen out of this 'dark' situation, a transformative force illuminating the path forward – solar energy.
