HOW IT WORKS
FROM ONE ROOF TO ANOTHER
SolarForward gives working solar equipment a second life by matching it with nonprofits and community organizations that can put it back to work.
THE PROCESS
From a working panel to lasting savings.
01
UPGRADE WITH A PURPOSE
Thinking about upgrading but not sure what to do with your old panels? SolarForward gives them a next home, so you can move forward knowing the equipment you replace can keep creating value for years.
02
OFFER YOUR PANELS & INVERTERS
Before the upgrade happens, register the panels you plan to replace. We collect the basic details and coordinate the next steps with you and the installer.
03
MATCH
We match available equipment with a qualified nonprofit based on their electricity needs, location and site conditions.
04
INSTALL
SolarForward coordinates the equipment, logistics and professional installation with our technical and funding partners.
05
SAVE
The recipient uses solar power during the day, reducing the electricity bill and freeing up money for its programs.
WHAT MAKES IT POSSIBLE
THE PANELS ARE FREE. INSTALLATION ISN’T.
A second-life solar project still needs mounting hardware, wiring, breakers, logistics and professional labor. Recipient contributions and corporate partners help cover those costs.
