Enersol's mission is to bring renewable solar energy solutions to people living in the unelectrified areas of Latin American countries. We are particularly interested in community health and education projects, because we believe these are two areas where the use of renewable energy technology can have the greatest humanitarian impact. The current focus on our AguaSol and EduSol programs results from having successfully introduced simple photovoltaic (PV) systems into residential homes through rural community development programs, assisted by local business and NGO partners. EnersolĖs health and education programs continue to lead innovation in the non-profit rural energy sector. The solar-based rural electrification concept Enersol developed in the 1980Ės provided training and technical assistance to local technicians and NGOs, and pioneered the introduction of PV technology. As a result, over 10,000 rural households in the Dominican Republic and Honduras have been electrified, and our model replicated by solar energy promoters around the world.

Today, household electrification support is provided exclusively through Global Transition Consulting, Inc. (GTC) established in 1996. GTC provides a wide range of consulting services to plan and implement successful, sustainable solar-based rural electrification activities, including: program feasibility and design, project development assistance, technical and management training, and rural energy business development. Enersol is a member of the Global Transition Group (GTG). |
