GivePower Foundation

Meital Stotland

San Diego resident Meital Stotland has found a way to combine her GivePower Foundation installs solar energy system at Ngomeni
professional goals and personal passion through SolarCity, the nation’s #1 Primary School, Kenya
solar power provider. As a SolarCity senior field energy consultant with
a degree in environmental studies, Meital helps hundreds of San Diego
homeowners go green and control their energy costs by going solar.
That might be enough for someone who wants to help build a bright
future for her two young sons.
But Meital also works with SolarCity’s charitable nonprofit organization,
the GivePower Foundation, which addresses energy poverty by provid-
ing solar-powered lighting to schools in the developing world. Recently,
Meital raised so much money for GivePower that she was chosen to travel
overseas with a small group of other SolarCity employees to help install a
solar system on a school in 2016. This year the GivePower Foundation will
bring light to some 1,500 schools in remote villages in Mali, Nicaragua,
Kenya, Haiti, Uganda, Nigeria, Malawi, Nepal, and Ghana.
Meital is also active with SolarCity’s Women In Power initiative to
encourage more women to work in the clean energy industry.
“Solar energy is changing the way we power the world, and I want to
help ensure that more women take part in this rapidly growing industry,”
Meital says. “This work and the ability to give back through solar is near
50 and dear to my heart.” GivePower Foundation installs solar energy system Kiliboti Primary
