Solar Engineer
Ecoprise designs, builds, and installs clean energy products in Nepal. Since our inception 6 years ago, our mission has been to provide sustainable energy to underserved, energy-poor communities in order to create positive economic, environmental and social impact. We have deployed over 700 solar Photo Voltaic (PV) arrays on government, commercial and residential rooftops, serving over 50,000 people. Our products include sustainable solar PV arrays, solar water heaters, LED light bulbs, and clean cooking stoves. Our strength lies in our ability to design low-cost, regionally appropriate technology based on the requirements of the communities we serve, prompt deployment of our products, and excellent after-sales maintenance. For our work in the sustainable energy sector, we have been awarded Fellowships by New York City’s The DO School in 2012, and by the Social Enterprise World Forum (SEWF) in South Korea, a leading social venture event, in 2014. In addition, Ecoprise was a semi-finalist in Echoing Green’s Fellowship Program and the Reconnect Asia Challenge in 2014. Find more about us at www.meroecoprise.org or www.fb.com/ecoprise
