The Solar Foundation
http://www.thesolarfoundation.orgThe Solar Foundation is an independent national 501(c)(3) nonprofit working to demonstrate the global benefits of solar energy through research and education. Founded in 1977 and based in Washington, DC, we are increasing the widespread adoption of solar energy and transforming the marketplace through our coordinated public education & outreach efforts, high-level data collection, and innovative research.
Light Up The World (LUTW)
http://lutw.orgLUTW is an international development organization whose goal is to provide renewable energy technologies and high efficiency lighting to communities around the world that do not have access to appropriate and affordable energy solutions.
Solar Electric Light Fund (SELF)
http://www.self.orgThe Solar Electric Light Fund (SELF) is a cutting-edge, independent not-for-profit organization that designs and implements sustainable energy solutions for enhancements in health, education, agriculture and economic growth in the developing world.
Good Energy
http://www.goodenergy.co.ukWe were the first supplier to offer 100% renewable electricity to UK households when we were founded back in 1999. Over a decade later, all other suppliers still rely on electricity generated using fossil fuels or nuclear power. Good Energy's electricity is sourced purely from the wind, water, sun and through sustainable biogeneration.
Gridmates
http://www.gridmates.comGridmates brings peer to peer energy sharing in the first transactive energy platform to eliminate energy poverty. We make it possible for you to send electricity to people in need.
Pavegen
http://www.pavegen.comPavegen have globally pioneered a flooring tile that converts the kinetic energy from people's footsteps into renewable electricity. When stepped on, the Pavegen surface flexes a near imperceptible 5mm, generating up to 8 watts of power over the duration of the footstep, enough to power local applications such as street lighting, advertising displays, and communications technology. Installed successfully at sites around the world, including the 2013 Paris Marathon and London 2012 Olympic Games, the Pavegen flooring tiles are also able to collect, monitor and communicate live data using its unique API wireless interface. The software can calculate the amount of power generated and the number of footsteps on each tile, as well as control energy efficient lighting and send out live updates via social media channels. The highly engaging off grid technology has the ability to transform smart cities of the future, by providing a low-carbon energy contribution and real-time data analytics in high footfall areas.
GreenPower
