Website about this solution: suncube-foundation.org
Why I love this solution: The suncube foundation provides financial, material and logistical support to promote sustainable energy projects for people in structurally weak regions, particularly in developing countries in Africa. Primarily, the foundation supports specially initiated projects, in particular the construction and operation of small photovoltaic power plants ("suncubes") as well as advice on their maintenance for the production of sustainable and reliable energy. The foundation can also pursue its purpose with other means and realise other projects to promote renewable energies and energy efficiency. To fulfil its purpose, the foundation also works closely with companies, institutions and experts as well as with local governments. The foundation is denominationally and politically neutral. The foundation has a non-profit character, is not profit-oriented and does not pursue any profit-making purposes.
