Kiva Lending Team: Solar Explosion

A Common Interest team since Apr 20, 2009

We loan because...
1.5 billion people still lack electricity. Only a global solar explosion can change that and end poverty.

About us
We know if you really want to fight poverty, you start with distributed renewable power – harnessing the sun in your own backyard! Micro-solar technology already exists that can transform people’s lives. The problem is that banks are only financing the old model: centralized power stations and expensive transmission grids. We lend to inspire awareness, so microfinance does more and more solar financing projects. Our goal is a solar explosion! Join us today!
