Company research
Public company, workplace, funding, and market signals

Overview
U.S. nonprofit solar-energy company founded in 2013 and launched Nepal operations in 2014; it incubates locally run solar businesses, mainly SunFarmer Nepal, to finance, install, monitor, and maintain solar systems for hospitals, schools, farms, and businesses. Public materials show a board-led organization, and I did not find a clear current-CEO page or public GitHub/X presence. Public funding data are mixed: company/profile pages show $120k tracked funding, while a separate 2013 SunEdison grant article reports $2M project funding.
