Our Mission At Go Solar Group
Every organization has a what how and why that motivates them to keep on going. At Go Solar Group we too have these key indicators that we have striven for since our origins.

Go Solar Group’s founders saw solar power as a means to empowerment for the buyer. What started out as a desire to help has become our passion.
Our most recent project was the construction of a school in Uganda. This project has put a roof over the heads of 60 children. But it also is providing solar power, education, and healthcare. Our purpose is giving everyone, including these children, a chance to have the resources needed to live life to the fullest.

How It Works
1. You buy a solar array from Go Solar Groupand part of your purchase is used as a micro-loan toward solar product distribution in Uganda.
2. Go Solar Group forwards loan funds to local microfinance partners who distribute solar product loans to families and individuals in need.
3. Your microloan will fund solar products for:
- female entrepreneurs
- elementary schools
- orphanages
- families living on less than $1 per day
4. Solar power replaces toxic and dangerous kerosene lamps and is sustainable for years.
5. Your microloan is self-sustainable!
