United Solar Initiative

Description

• United Solar Initiative (USI) is a 501c3 non-profit organization, based in Chapel Hill, NC, working to facilitate solar energy solutions to address energy and water poverty in underdeveloped communities around the world. USI works internationally with World Vision to mechanize clean water pumps throughout countries in Africa in our joint effort to address the global issue of water poverty. USI also works domestically to facilitate solar installations on schools and community centers local to contributing for-profit and non-profit companies in the solar industry. Cell phones leapfrogged the landline market in developing countries; similarly, we believe distributed generation solar power will leapfrog grid-tied electricity. Solar energy is disruptive by nature, disconnecting from traditional grid-tied electricity supply. USI installs solar PV panels that provide communities with lighting, water pumping capabilities, and general electrical needs. These services are disruptive, radically improving the quality of life in these areas. USIs cooperative advancement model is a breakthrough approach, improving the capacity and effectiveness of local solar companies in the process of providing services to needy areas. USI works in areas that have no previous access to electricity, with a severely underdeveloped solar industry. By combining our efforts with partner solar companies, we provide communities with opportunities to advance through new access to electricity and clean water, while contributing to the growth of the industry as a whole.
