Not everyone can install solar panels on his or her own roof. Many people live in apartments or have roofs that are shaded by trees or other buildings. Shared solar systems, also referred to as community solar or “solar gardens,” have the potential to allow everyone to own their own solar panels. An investor or cooperative member in a shared system receives a credit on his or her electric bill through Virtual Net Metering or a specialized shared solar tariff. Solar gardens have become increasingly popular in the United States, the European Union, and Australia. Shared solar offers the potential to power millions of people in urban areas worldwide, and for rural electrification in developing countries. This is an important tool to conserve fossil fuels and reduce air pollution.

Promoting Renewable Energy in Community Buy-Out Areas in the Highlands & Isla...Oxfam GB
Professor Mike Danson, from the University of the West of Scotland, talks about promoting renewable energy in community buy-out areas in Scotland.
The Whose Economy? seminars, organised by Oxfam Scotland and the University of the West of Scotland, brought together experts to look at recent changes in the Scottish economy and their impact on Scotland's most vulnerable communities.
Held over winter and spring 2010-11 in Edinburgh, Inverness, Glasgow and Stirling, the series posed the question of what economy is being created in Scotland and, specifically, for whom?

Greg Spencer talks about the Paradigm Project, a for-profit business providing healthy, efficient stoves to Africa that drastically reduces a family's consumption of wood and inhalation of smoke and improves their economic stability.
Not only does The Paradigm Project help the poor, it leverages billions of dollars of value in the carbon markets, reduces deforestation, and changes the paradigm faced by many that creating profits from the poor cannot profit for the poor.

The letter contain reasons for bring in urgently needed reform, explains the hurdles and offers solutions while calling upon national and international organisation to building solidarities for transforming international instituions such as World Bank, IMF and WTO recognising the need to address issues emerging out of the continuation of support for a paradigm that is energy intensive and ecologically unsafe and environmentally unsustainable.
Impact Investment in Mini Hydropower, Indonesia 2013Eric Stryson
Produced in partnership with IBEKA, award winning NGO working for 20+ years to support community organization, operation and ownership of small scale hydro power plants in rural Indonesia. The plan proposes an innovative scheme whereby communities are incentivized to protect forest and water catchment resources as a means for long term viability of facilities, and lower risk for investors. State power company PLN has expressed an openness to providing premium tariffs in such cases.
Here is brief presentation as NAMA Practitioner who is requesting endorsement from Government of India to write Sustainability Program for the country. Nationally appropriate mitigating Actions program is developed by UN and special training awarded on how to use tools and contribute to host country.
Being responsible human being, thought of sharing Atmanirbahar program for country where self reliance can change climate change issue in very short time.
Host country endorsement is needed to register Atmanirbhar program on UN platform. Once registered the process flow is pretty simple and will definitely deliver results. I have been trying for 6 Years to get endorsement but its falling on deaf ears.
Recently Had Neuro stroke and felt that knowledge and experience should be shared with society as larger beneficiary rather than making efforts in profit motivated world.
This workshop examines conceptual frameworks and practical strategies for scaling social ventures based on a decade of work in the GSBI. It addresses four key analytical tools--market imperfections, disruptive innovation design, scalable business models, and investment readiness with examples from the GSBI.
This lecture identifies three functional mechanism or means of developing successful base of the pyramid business models--value creation, cost reduction, and market penetration. Successful ventures simultaneously utilize all three of these mechanisms in localizing technology, establishing a business model, and interfacing with local ecosystems. An emphasis on value creation through stakeholder engagement and collective agency are differentiating characteristics of efforts to serve unmet needs.
The Coordinating Impact Capital report by the Center for Science, Technology, and Society encompasses over 10 months of surveys and analysis with more than 45 investment organizations currently working in the field of impact investing. The intent of this project was to unearth actionable suggestions for the social impact community, and identify market mechanisms that can increase the efficiency of invested capital, resulting in greater liquidity opportunities for investors. The project was generously supported by the Aspen Network of Development Entrepreneurs. The lead authors and guest experts will discuss the landscape of impact investing and a foundation for vetting future social impact investment opportunities.

Turn Waste to Wealth by turning the
wastelands in India into jatropha
plantations to improve the environ-
ment and produce biofuel. Local Solution:
marginalized women are employed
to cultivate the land which increases FREED conceives, designs, and implements projects transform-

its. We do this by forming Self Help Groups that undertake cul-
tivation and fuel extraction, providing marginal poor with income
opportunities. Government agencies and corporations provide
wasteland for cultivation and purchase the biofuel thus creating
economic development, reducing their cost of oil consumption
meeting mandates to use renewable energy.
“Through our 300 hectare unit project, FREED will provide employment for 2500 marginal-
ized women, additional income of $486,680 and produce 306 kilolitres of biofuel in 5 years.”

“The work of FREED to provide
additional income and produce
biofuel utilizing wasteland is
changing the lives of local mar-
ginalized population.” – Ujjal
Chatterjee, Chairman, Kulti Mu-
nicipality, West Bengal, India Investment Required:
$500,000 USD of seed capital is required to develop each 300
Ha. unit project. Grants are needed to fund a unit project for
which land has been allocated. Grant amounts for subsequent
unit projects will be lower because earned income will be used
to fund new unit projects.
