Let’s go solar, together!

 

Our Partnership Model

Twende Solar partners with existing mission-driven organizations and community partners to expand electricity access through the installation of solar infrastructure. We strive to empower underserved communities with electricity access through solar energy, addressing inequities and unlocking opportunities for education, economic growth, and sustainable development.

We leverage our solar expertise and connections to empower our partners and work collaboratively to secure the resources, materials, and technical support necessary to complete solar installations that meet the unique needs of each community we serve.

To apply to partner with Twende Solar, organizations and their proposals should meet the following criteria:

  • The partner organization is a community-based entity and/or demonstrates a clear historical connection to the community it serves.

  • The organization holds 501(c)(3) status in the United States or equivalent charitable nonprofit status in its country of operations.

  • The partnership proposal’s primary focus is on the construction solar infrastructure with a goal to increase electricity access in underserved or marginalized communities.

Partner inquiries are accepted year round and will be reviewed in the order they are received.

If a project proposal meets our initial review we will reach out to set up a preliminary meeting to discuss next steps.
