Where Solar really Matters
A staggering 1 billion people have little or no access to electricity in the postmodern world. Aside from limited productivity, health and safety are implicated due to the reliance on kerosine and diesel fuel. There is no better place and time for the use of Off-grid Solar system to bring light to these parts of the world. Just a fraction of our typical 3-6kW panel capacity on our comfortable first world residential roof coupled with a few storage components can transform a third world village to improve education for children , healthcare, economy, sustaining environment and the list goes on.
Solar Matters was established with a mission to channel part of our revenue to bring light to where it matters most. Followings are our charitable project highlights many thanks to all whom had supported our business !
2016 – In partnership with HOPE Worldwide Australia and Energy Matters, two Off-grid systems were installed for a community shed and a new traditional housing for nurses in the remote Cimbu province of Papua New Guinea. Another standaalone system was installed at the Nine Miles Clinic in Port Moresby to backup a fridge for medicine.
2017 – Through our local contacts with the Chin and Karen refugees in Melbourne, we were honored to sponsor a standalone lighting kit that would replace the kerosine light in their remote village back in the Chin Province of Myanmar.
2018 – Working with a charitable organization called Xuice in Singapore, a Victron solar kit was shipped to Pursat Province in Cambodia to power up lighting and fan in a library of a rural primary school.
