Our Approach
SunRoots offers a bold and sustainable solution: harnessing solar energy to create opportunity and break the cycle of poverty.
We believe that every ray of sunshine can become an opportunity to learn, undertake new ventures, provide healthcare, connect with others, and empower oneself.
Meet Aminata
Aminata sells fish at the Kaporo market in Guinea. Every day she buys ice to keep her catch fresh—but by midday, the ice has melted, and her unsold fish begins to spoil. What she needs is affordable cold storage managed by people she trusts, paid for in small amounts she can afford.
SunRoots Energy deploys community-owned solar infrastructure for productive use.
Using an integrated model that solves the adoption, operations, and financing barriers that have stalled the industry, SunRoots Energy provides cold storage, irrigation, and processing capabilities.
