Charitable Work
The founders of Solarcentury wrote into its constitution that the company would donate 5% of its net profit to set up a charity to help poor communities in developing countries access solar power. In 2006 Solarcentury made profit and SolarAid was born; a charity that increases access to solar PV technology to help combat climate change and alleviate poverty in rural Africa by installing solar on schools, community centres and clinics, and by creating jobs and businesses for people to generate income.
