Welcome! Go Solar!
InSPIRE is a solar RSO dedicated to promoting a broader understanding of renewable energy and sustainability to the public.
We do hands-on projects related to renewable energy and sustainability with a focus on off-grid solar PV systems. We regularly compete in the National Solar District Cup competition, designing large solar PV arrays in real world sites. We've also done outreach and informational events to promote sustainability to the public. Our hope is to inspire a new generation to continue pursuing and improving renewable energy.
