Most neighbourhoods don't lack sunlight or savings — they lack a plain explanation. We put one where people already are, and the neighbours who make the connection share in what follows.
The only thing holding back solar in most neighbourhoods is that nobody has explained it plainly. So we put the explanation where people already are.
A local business — a coffee shop, a barber, a library noticeboard — agrees to keep a small stack of solar information by the door.
No pitch, no pressure, nobody knocking on a door. Interest has to come from them — that is the whole point of the model.
They tell us about their roof, their bill, their situation — and consent to being contacted about it. Nothing happens without that.
We do not sell, permit, or install. Our partner handles the survey, the paperwork and the work — and the neighbour who put the card there gets the credit.
Real-world information placement, mapped

No placements are marked yet. Solar Strive is starting in the Virginia / Maryland / DC region, and this map fills in as hosts agree to keep materials by the door. Nothing here is a projection — it is a count of real places that said yes.
Locations are found by people on the ground — cafes, stores, and community centers that agree to host materials, documented with the host's permission.
Every scan of a Solar Strive code is recorded against the code that produced it.
Built to reward community connectors with Bitcoin. Contribution records come first — nothing is promised that hasn't been built.
We're launching in the VA/MD/DC region with our first community of early adopters. No inflated numbers, no borrowed track record — every installation referred and every hot spot placed will be counted from day one.
Want to help build it? Join as a founding solarpreneur or host one of the first hot spot locations.
Looking at solar for your own roof, or wanting to help your neighbours look at theirs — both start with a conversation rather than a sales call.
