One Degree Solar provides renewable energy products and services created specifically for use in resource-limited areas. We provide affordable, easy-to-use and maintain equipment, and design systems in order to be practical, durable, and sustainable options for your projects. We do this as one of the only solar initiatives that creates fully customized manuals and training modules for your local context and end users. By providing training and maintenance, and tamper-resistant technology, we strive to help your organization improve services while saving money through reducing dependency on diesel fuel, generators, candles, and kerosene.

Global Needs
The current dependency and high cost of fuel in remote and less developed regions greatly restricts access to electricity, a situation that affects over 24% of the world’s population. In the event` of medical emergencies after dark, patients some regions must resort to buying fuel or candles on the way to their local health facility so they can be treated in lit conditions. Examples such as this exist around the world, and the situation is not going to improve spontaneously. According to the Executive Director of the International Energy Agency, in the absence of new policies and initiatives, 1.4 billion will still have no electricity in 30-years’ time.

Our Approach and Advantage
There is a clear need for affordable electricity, and renewable energy offers many benefits over traditional energy sources. The common benefits of using renewables include reduced risk of fire, elimination of recurring energy costs (new batteries, fuels, wood, and coal), and lower health risks due to smoke inhalation. Additionally, One Degree Solar products are easy to use, require virtually zero training, installation, or maintenance, and help donors and governments provide access to the most people in need as they are available for a fraction of the cost of more complex energy systems that require large and expensive equipment, extensive training, and specialized maintenance.

We aim to be a partner in development, and hope to join you in bringing energy and empowerment to the world’s poor.

In addition to the packages seen on this website, we have a complete range of solar equipment and services available for individuals, off-grid facilities, and large office buildings. Please email us so we can create a custom solution for your institution.
