Northern Navajo Solar Entrepreneurs

Organization

Summary

In the spring of 2014, the Honnold Foundation partnered with Elephant Energy to expand their proven model of solar entrepreneurship into the Kayenta Region of the Navajo Nation.

Many of the residents in this area live off the grid with no access to conventional power sources. Using a holistic approach, Elephant Energy recruited local leaders to advocate for solar, promoted education in community hubs, and continues to support a long term entrepreneurship program to ensure the ongoing success of solar in each community.
