Give Power

In addition to supporting our local community, Shine also believes in helping those around the globe who are struggling. GivePower is a non-profit initiative that provides clean water through solar powered water farms to those in the developing world that need it most. These farms can serve up to 35,000 people a day and brings stability, education and a foundation in which to live self-sufficiently. That is why for every solar panel system sold, Shine contributes a portion of the profit to the GivePower program.
