Broadway Duplex
In October 2020, GiveSolar was invited by a board member of Central Valley Habitat for Humanity to partner on a solar project. The initial goal of this collaboration was to create a pilot project that demonstrates how to make solar accessible to low-income households. Our pilot project was a duplex in Broadway, Virginia. With the support of Green Hill Solar, we installed two 3.78 kilowatt solar systems on the duplex in February of 2021.
Through community crowdfunding, we raised over $8,000 to fully fund these solar systems. Based upon the success of the pilot project, the Central Valley Habitat for Humanity board of directors voted to support the establishment of a regenerating Solar Seed Fund. The fundraising goal for this project was $100K. Once achieved, the Solar Seed Fund will pay for solar systems on all new Habitat homes that have a roofline appropriate for solar.
