Bringing light to schools in need
For every megawatt of residential solar power SolarCity installs in 2014, the GivePower Foundation will donate a solar power system and battery to a school without electricity.
Every solar home makes a difference
When you go solar, you're helping to build a cleaner future for your home and for the world.
Together we can do more
It takes approximately 160 solar energy efficient homes to produce one megawatt.

About the GivePower Foundation: Our Mission
To make clean renewable energy accessible to those who need it most and reduce the world’s dependence on finite, polluting power sources.
About us
The GivePower Foundation is a SolarCity nonprofit organization committed to extending the environmental and social benefits of clean renewable energy across the world. We’ve teamed with buildOn, a nonprofit organization dedicated to building schools in some of the economically poorest countries in the world, including Nicaragua, Haiti, Malawi, Mali, Nepal and Senegal. Through our partnership, we will train buildOn employees and work closely with local communities to install and maintain their solar power systems.
