Kiva for Solar – Invest in solar in the Global South and get repaid

21 pointsby yepnopemaybeover 1 year ago
Founded by one of the creators of Kiva.org, Renewables.org is the highest impact-per-dollar investment of any kind.<p>Our analysis shows that investing with Renewables.org creates 5x the carbon impact of US solar investing and is 48% more effective than voluntary carbon offsets.<p>Renewables.org — the online solar investing non-profit.

Hey, I am cofounder and CEO of Renewables.org — Lassor Feasley.<p>Renewables.org works with a network of Global South solar developers who have a large pipeline of unfunded solar projects. Using a Kiva like interface, you can join our site and help get these projects off the ground for as little as $25 dollars.<p>When you invest on Renewables.org, you start earning monthly repayments — which continue for five years. These repayments are paid out of the revenue earned by solar projects already in our portfolio as they generate and sell power to the grid.<p>As with Kiva.org — you don&#x27;t make a financial return on Renewables, but you do create a carbon impact we believe is far greater than virtually any other investment or carbon offset product, dollar for dollar.

Not sure I&#x27;d advertise it that way, as Kiva has burned me at a rate higher than advertised. Maybe I&#x27;m just unlucky.
