TRINE is closing the gap between private capital in developed countries and solar partners in emerging markets by offering an alternative finance solution to off-grid solar projects through a novel crowdfunding model. 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 investment.
