Sunexchange

As per the great Mahatma Gandhi saying: “You must be the change you want to see in the world.”, and the challenges I have within the different areas Loose Ends works in, we decided earlier last year to get involved in Sunexchange, a South African based company that through crowdfunding installs solar panels.

At Sun Exchange, their mission is simple — to connect the world to the sun.

We believe sunshine is one of humanity’s most valuable, yet underutilized, resources. Not only can solar energy sustainably power hospitals, schools, community organisations, businesses and factories, it can also drive entire industries and economies. Solar dramatically reduces carbon emissions and air pollution, and it’s also quickly becoming the most affordable source of electricity. However, financial obstacles continue to hinder solar adoption, especially in emerging markets.

Enter Sun Exchange, the world’s first peer-to-peer solar leasing platform. Through Sun Exchange, anyone, anywhere in the world, can own solar energy-producing cells and build wealth by leasing those cells to power businesses and organisations in emerging markets, with installations and maintenance taken care of by one of Sun Exchange’s carefully selected installation partners. We leverage financial innovation and the power of the crowd to drive sustainable energy development and make the environmental, social and economic benefits of solar accessible and affordable for all.

 At Loose Ends we now own following panels and we try to become a ambassador to this great case, we started small by investing and buying 5 and 6 panels and no have upgraded to 99 in Boland Wine cellar and 62 in Ushaka Shopping mall.

You can see this as a great investment and be sure to get up to 20 years in lease, however the Sunexchange allows you to donate some of you ROI directly to good causes in SA.

Anymore reason for Loose Ends to participate in this adventure.
