As we see in our own neighborhoods every day, solar energy’s growth over the past several years is making a fundamental contribution to the fight against climate change as more and more corporations and homeowners install systems on their roofs.

Less well known is that these systems also bring strong financial benefits to their owners, with returns on investment that are both larger and more secure than stock market averages.

Unfortunately, the government incentives that drive these financial returns rely on tax incentives and financing that are unavailable to most nonprofit organizations. At Rise Up Solar, we bridge this gap, using a for-profit model with a non-profit mission, channeling the vast majority of solar’s financial benefit to groups that need it most.
