SunPeople have installed over 4MW of solar capacity over the last four years. Over the life of these systems, they will offset carbon equivalent to planting 4 million trees.
All of our old solar panels are recycled with a local recycler or given a new life in Solomon Islands! As only 20% of Solomon Islanders have access to electricity.
