Everybody Solar has received a donation from JinkoSolar. The 29.57 kW of high-efficiency modules will reduce Everybody Solar’s project costs by one third and help provide renewable energy systems to two sites on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota–the One Spirit Allen Youth Center and One Spirit Buffalo House.
One Spirit, a non-profit dedicated to Native Americans, creates stability in an area where 97% of its population lives below the federal poverty line. The two sites, Allen Youth Center and Buffalo House, are dedicated in their efforts to eliminate hunger and replace high drop-out and suicide rates among youth, while educating and instilling pride in their Lakota heritage.

SIERRA - May 3, 2018
The rockers and their Sunstock Festival raise money for solar installations. By
Katie O'Reilly
IT WAS IN POMONA COLLEGE's Environmental Analysis Program that I met my bandmate Merritt Graves. The course discussed urban infrastructure and how cities use resources like passive solar. Once Merritt and I formed an alternative rock band, we found ourselves talking constantly about all this Southern California sunshine that tends to go to waste. From day one, we wanted to create an artistic project with leverage to have an environmental impact—we called it Trapdoor Social. ... So when Trapdoor Social prereleased its second EP in 2014, we partnered with the Sierra Club, Grid Alternatives, and a small nonprofit called Everybody Solar to throw a fundraising event. We used the money to purchase solar panels for Homeboy Industries, which is an awesome local organization that provides former gang members with job training and support.

Solar energy is one of the most promising forms of energy. Besides it being renewable and non-polluting, solar energy contributes to job creation and sustainable development in the communities where it is installed. However, many people are not aware of the benefits of solar energy. Fortunately, there are numerous organisations, e-magazines, and blogs that work to increase awareness around solar energy, and encourage its adoption. Their valuable contribution to the growth of the solar industry deserves to be acknowledged and celebrated.
Therefore, GreenMatch has designed the Best Solar Websites Award, which recognises the achievements and meaningful contributions of websites that help drive the solar industry forward and accelerate the transition to a more sustainable society.
...Everybody Solar was selected by GreenMatch with the “Best Solar Websites of 2018” award. Everybody Solar was awarded under the “Best Solar Organisations” category...

One Spirit - October 3, 2017. Nonprofit, Everybody Solar, Raises Funds to Power the Youth Center.
In traditional Lakota cosmology, Wi is one of the most powerful deities: the sun god. Wi is associated with bravery, endurance, courage and truth, among other attributes.
In a sense, we of One Spirit feel we are suddenly receiving a sort of smile of support from Wi that promises to benefit the Allen Youth Center and the entire Oglala Lakota. It comes in the form of an offer of help from another non-profit, Everybody Solar, which is dedicated to helping other non-profits get solar power installations to both save money and help save the environment.

Disruptor Daily - August 21, 2017.
The US alone uses an exorbitant amount of energy, most of which comes from resources that are not sustainable and are touted to impact climate change. At the same time, the systems that we run require some form of power now that computers run everything from banking to email to utilities and everything between and beyond.
At the same time, access to power is creating a divide between the modern world and more rural areas that do not have access to electricity in the same way, which limits opportunities for employment and education.
