Who we are
We're UT students: engineers, designers, fundraisers, and communicators who raise awareness, fund projects, and build solar-powered systems.
What we do
Three ways we build power.
02Electrify schools
Solar microgrids
Reliable off-grid electricity for schools: lights, computers, and connectivity that keep students learning after dark.
03Hands-on impact
Treks
Volunteer trips to Kenya and Tanzania, where members install solar systems alongside the communities that use them.
685 million people still live without electricity.
1.4 billion live in water-vulnerable regions. We're students doing something about it: in the field, on the ground, one install at a time.
