Jason Edens, Executive Director, RREAL
Rural Renewable Energy Alliance is a 501(c)(3) non-profit grassroots organization pairing Social Activism with Solar Energy in our commitment to bring solar heat to low-income households. Through our Solar Assistance Program, we provide clean solar heating systems to low-income families that qualify for Energy Assistance.

We believe that solar energy presents a viable alternative to fossil fuels that is both environmentally sound and socially empowering. In order for solar to be widely embraced, it must be available to people of all income levels. However, renewable energy remains out of reach of many lower income households.
Yet, lower income families would realize enormous benefits from solar energy systems. Low-income households bear a greater burden when energy crises strike. As the price of fuel oil, natural gas and electricity rise, some families have to choose between food and heating their home.
At RREAL, we believe that we have the power to make a difference!
Minnesota has more annual solar energy potential than Houston, TX!
