Since 2018, GiveSolar has been working to make clean energy more accessible for families who need it most. What began as a local effort grew into a partnership with Habitat for Humanity Virginia in 2021. From there, the work expanded into a national program focused on bringing solar to homeowners who have historically been priced out of it. At its core, our mission is about creating opportunity, stability, and long-term savings for families across the country.

Jasmine has been a Habitat for Humanity homeowner for more than six years. Through the Habitat program, she’s learned valuable skills about homeownership and gained the stability of having a place to call her own. Like many Habitat families, managing monthly expenses still requires careful planning, and having predictable costs has made a meaningful difference for her household.

Andrew Peyton is a solar homeowner who speaks in support of the Habitat for Humanity Solar Project. As a market-rate homeowner in Harrisonburg, VA, Andrew was able to fit a 9.6 kW system on his roof and generate 90-95 percent of his household energy use through solar.

Giving Day is a chance to witness how generosity encourages lasting change. Every gift to GiveSolar supports a mission centered on expanding access to clean, reliable, and affordable energy for those who need it the most.

On Saturday, September 20th, we hosted a community event to celebrate a major milestone: the launch of our project that aims to install 10,000 solar systems on Habitat for Humanity homes over the next five years.
