10 Years of Impact

On Feb. 4, 2011, Andreas Karelas submitted the Articles of Incorporation for RE-volv to become a nonprofit. Our mission: empower people and communities to invest collectively in renewable energy.

Financed our first solar project for Shawl Anderson Dance Center in Berkeley, CA, a 10 kW system.

Launched our Solar Ambassador program, which has now trained over 375 Solar Ambassadors across the country. Received funding from the USA Department of Energy.

Installed our first project outside of CA for Riverwest Food Coop in Milwaukee, WI with the help of the University of WI, Milwaukee Solar Ambassadors.

As an inaugural member of the National Community Solar Project, Andreas spoke at the White House for the launch of the program.

Expanded to South Carolina! RE-volv and the Coastal Carolina University Solar Ambassadors brought solar to Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 10804, the first VFW in the state to go solar!

Trisolaris LLC supports RE-volv’s mission with $10M in funding allowing us to scale and deploy bigger projects.
