Solar and energy efficiency solutions remain inaccessible to thousands of community organizations around the country. This award helps us serve more of these organizations faster, added Jagerson.
Village Power Finance’s web platform simplifies the clean energy project development and finance process for community organizations, helping investment.
In addition, it also allows community members to initiate these clean energy projects from inside their communities.
