ABOUT TRINE:

- 1.2 billion people globally lack access to electricity and rely on the traditional use of dirty fuels such as kerosene. Every single day, millions of children inhale the equivalence of smoking two packets of cigarettes whilst studying in such environments. TRINE is the leading digital investment platform to help people locate and fund profitable solar energy projects in emerging markets. Investments enable the spread of solar energy by providing working capital to TRINE’s solar partners, who are then able to offer affordable solar electricity to the local communities. This helps to relieve the pressure of up-front costs, whilst encouraging people to abandon the traditional use of expensive and harmful fuels. We bring solar energy to the 1.2 billion people in need of access to electricity and make it easy for people to make a social and environmental impact while also earning a return on their investment.
