Overview of SHOS
Solar Head of State (SHOS) is a non-profit organization formed by a worldwide team of grassroots activists and social entrepreneurs from around the globe. Our model was inspired by a campaign initiated in 1979 by US president Jimmy Carter who had solar water heaters installed on the White House to conserve energy and set an example for the American public amidst an energy crisis.
We support world leaders championing progressive renewable energy policy, acting as a catalyst for wider adoption of new solutions for solar and renewable energy. We have successfully installed a solar PV system at the Executive Office of the Government of Jamaica and at the residence of the Governor-General of the Government of Saint Lucia, among others. SHOS has also conducted Solar Challenges in the Caribbean Islands – engaging youth to innovate sustainable local solutions, and has a number of installations and community engagement programs underway in the Pacific Islands. SHOS plans to grow and deploy these programs world-wide, focusing on small island developing states and other emerging markets where such outcomes have the greatest impact. We are currently implementing a project with the Pacific Island Development Forum and UNDP across 11 Pacific island nations, funded by the Government of India.
