Solar energy has the capability to reduce up to 112 gigatons of CO2 equivalent by 2050 by replacing fossil-fuels in electricity generation, per Project Drawdown. When you choose  the Solar Energy Development for your Counterbalance, you are helping the world soak up the sun to provide clean energy around the world. Displacing fossil fuels with solar, also helps developing countries eradicate poverty and promote education and employment. Each project develops arrays of photovoltaic panels and mitigates hundreds of thousands of metrics tons CO2e per year. 

Our Solar Energy projects are verified by the Gold Standard or VCS and help accelerate the adoption of solar power over the next 30 years. Supporting this project helps decarbonize the energy grid by speeding up solar deployment, reduces air pollution, and helps avoid damages from climate change. Today, solar is widely underdeveloped but together we can help it reach its full potential. 

Supporting solar development can help developing economies receive boosts in clean-energy investment and speed up the transition away from polluting fuels. 

Solar Energy projects not only help reduce emissions but also contribute towards the local economic growth which can reduce hunger and poverty, promote access to education, and generate investment for local safe drinking water infrastructure.
