Helping families replace diesel with sunlight.

We build solar systems in low-income communities, so families can stop relying on expensive generators.

About us

We believe every family deserves safe, reliable power.

Noor Solar is a nonprofit bringing clean energy to homes that need it most. We replace diesel generators with simple solar systems, no upfront cost, just steady, affordable power.

Light isn't just electricity. It's safety, freedom, and a brighter future.

Whoever relieves a believer’s hardship in this world, Allah will relieve their hardship on the Day of Judgment.

- Sahih Muslim 2699

Problem

No one deserves to live in the dark.

In many communities, electricity isn’t a guarantee, it’s a daily struggle. Families are stuck with expensive, unreliable, and harmful energy sources simply because there’s no better option. We’re here to change that.

High cost of diesel

Families often pay $30–$60 a month just to run noisy, polluting generators even in refugee camps.

Unreliable access

Power cuts are frequent and unpredictable. Many homes go hours or days without electricity.

Health & safety risks

Diesel fumes, fire hazards, and noise pollution are part of daily life for families relying on generators.

No path to ownership

Most families rent their power from someone else. There’s no long-term solution or system they can call their own.

Solution

Clean energy that’s simple, affordable, and built to last.

We replace unreliable diesel with solar power that works safely, quietly, and without the big upfront costs. We partner with families and communities to build long-term energy independence, one rooftop at a time.

Low monthly cost

Families pay less than a diesel generator and after 5 years, power is free for life.

Safe and silent

No fumes. No fire hazards. Just clean, quiet energy that’s safer for the environment.

Always-on power

Solar with battery backup means families have energy day and night no more surprise outages.

Community ownership

Families can own their solar system through a co-op model that builds local self-reliance.

How it works

From installation to ownership, here’s how it works.

Our process is simple. We partner with communities, install solar systems, and offer a low monthly plan that makes clean energy possible and permanent.

We install solar systems

We bring solar panels and batteries directly to homes that need them no upfront cost required.

Families pay toward ownership

Families redirect what they already spend on diesel toward their solar system, gaining clean, quiet power and full ownership over time.

We scale impact, rooftop by rooftop

Each campaign supports 30 families at a time, allowing donor funding to unlock installations and expand access rooftop by rooftop.

Projects

Where we’re bringing the light

Every Noor Solar project brings clean, reliable energy to a new community. From refugee camps to remote villages, we partner with families to replace diesel with solar, building long-term impact, one home at a time.

In progress

Homes impacted:

30 households

What we’re installing:

Rooftop solar panels and battery backup systems for nighttime power

Problem we’re solving:

Families rely on costly diesel generators and face frequent blackouts. This project gives them clean, steady power they can afford.

Why it matters:

For the first time, these households will have energy that’s safe, reliable, and theirs to own — no noise, no fumes, no middlemen.
