Greenpeace volunteers and local students assisted with the installation of photovoltaic systems to the houses of 2 ​low-income ​families on Rhodes Island, Greece.

​All the money needed for these installations was raised through Greenpeace Greece's crowdfunding project ‘Solarization of Greece’ which was launched last summer to draw international support towards debt-ridden Greece’s most significant investment opportunity; its sun. The first two installations took place in the villages of Psinthos and Paradisi and these families have now access to clean energy from the sun. Greenpeace combined the installation of the PVs with seminars on solar energy and photovoltaics for over 40 students.
