The Four Pillars of Sustainability
When we began, most of our customers were "gringos" living in beautiful baja california, mexico + other remote parts of the world without access to electricity.
We saw that many people in remote parts of the world were eeking out a living on a few dollars a month. Instead of going to school, children worked alongside their parents. The cycle of poverty and misery seemed inescapable.
We saw first-hand the positive impact that accessible and affordable electricity made to families + entire communities. We designed and installed energy storage systems for thousands all over Baja, the Carribean, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Asia and the United States.
To resolve this complex matrix of obstacles, since 1987, we have spearheaded a “Four Pillars” Approach to Sustainability
Environmental Stewardship
As environmental stewards, Solar Electric protects the natural environment through conservation and sustainable practices with the development of responsible + sustainable solar power systems.
Social Equity
With electricity, we provide people + communities with an equal opportunity in a safe and healthy environment - integral in creating sustainability, balancing economic, environmental + social equity.
Economic Health
With electricity, we are empowering people and communities to escape poverty by providing them with the tools to build a brighter future.
Cultural Autonomy
Regardless geography, access to affordable electricity helps break barriers and unites people from all walks of life + all parts of the world.
