This Progress Report video was completed for the 2013 CGI Annual Meeting. It details progress on Border Green Energy Team’s commitment to action, Restoration of Solar Home Systems in Rural Thailand. In 2011, Border Green Energy Team (BGET) committed to restoring and expanding solar energy access to 100 homes in rural Thailand. As renewable energy options are often cost-prohibitive in this region, BGET will employ a new model that provides affordable micro-loans for those seeking access to high-quality and warranty-backed solar systems. In addition, BGET will create three local jobs by training and hiring three local villagers to be franchisees who provide installation, repair, and ongoing maintenance services for the solar systems.
