United Solar Initiative (USI) is a 501c3 nonprofit organization, based in Durham, NC, working to facilitate solar energy solutions to address energy and water poverty in underdeveloped communities around the world.
USI works with both non-profit and for-profit companies in the U.S. to facilitate solar panel installations in under-served local communities and low-income housing areas.
USI has teamed up with organizations like World Vision in the joint effort to address the global issue of water poverty, most recently through locations in Africa in need of clean water.
Solar energy has the unique potential to reduce energy costs to consumers or provide electricity in off-grid communities.
USI appeals to the corporate social responsibility of companies in the solar industry to place cash and in-kind donations where it’s needed most.
