Solar Village Project:
Where Climate Crisis Meets Direct Action
Imagine a world where:
- Clean, renewable and reliable energy is accessible and affordable for all people
- The developing world leapfrogs dirty fossil fuels and relies on clean energy.
- The life-threatening impacts of climate change are permanently reversed.
At Solar Village Project We:
Fight Climate Change and Energy Poverty by:
- Donating and installing solar arrays for rural schools and clinics that don't have reliable access to electricity.
- Providing solar systems for rural homes and businesses that are paid for via small monthly installments.
We are dedicated to creating sustainable energy solutions that help improve the lives of people around the world. We understand that every community is unique, with its own set of challenges and opportunities. That is why we listen to and work in partnership with the communities we serve.

Why Solar Village Project in India?
India, the world’s most populous country and 3rd largest greenhouse gas emitter, faces severe energy poverty. Solar Village Project empowers communities with solar solutions, tackling climate change and creating a brighter future where it’s needed most.
We’re Building Foundations for Growth
Our installed solar systems have become the backbone for vital community services. They enable schools to educate, clinics to operate more efficiently, and local businesses to thrive, fostering a sustainable cycle of growth and development. This transition to renewable energy is a key step in our fight against climate change.

Based on the results of the community surveys project sites are selected with an emphasis on
maximizing the impact of our projects. -
3. Procurement
-
3. Procurement
The solar array is designed based on the electrical requirements of the school, clinic or home and the materials are purchased and delivered.
-
4. Installation
-
4. Installation
Our team of experienced technicians installs the solar system and data logger so it can be monitored for performance and any issues in real time.
-
5. Commissioning
-
5. Commissioning
Commissioning of the plant covers the complete installation of PV Modules with inverter and the system is further connected to UPS and Power battery banks which are finally connected with the power consumption equipment's as per electrical circuit diagrams
Safety ( internally & externally ) is our prime responsibility while commissioning of the plant successfully for daily Power usage by Schools / clinics / MFI customers

6. Data Logger Installation
-
6. Data Logger Installation
Data loggers are electronic devices which automatically monitor and record power generation, use and any problems with the system in real time. This helps us ensure that the solar arrays are functioning properly and are providing the power the schools and clinics need.

Your DONATION Changes Lives
Together we can empower youth, families & individuals, end energy poverty in the developing world and reverse the life-threatening impacts of climate change.
In today’s world 1 in 10 people don’t have access to electricity. In rural areas, it’s 1 in 5. In all, 840 million people are living without access to electricity and another 1.2 billion people are living with unreliable access to electricity. That’s over 2 billion people who rely on fossil fuels and bios mass as their primary sources of energy.
The time to act is now. Join us. Help fight climate change.
