Partner: Queen’s Solar Design Team

The Queen’s Solar Design Team is known for its successes in solar vehicle competitions, having set numerous records including a 2000 Guinness World Record for the longest journey a solar vehicle has ever taken.

For its next challenge, the Queen’s Solar Design Team took on building the Queen’s Solar Education Centre, an ongoing initiative to build a home designed to function completely off-the-grid using a wide array of advanced technologies. Bullfrog Power is the Green Energy Title Sponsor of the project.

About our community projects

Activists and organizers across the country are working to transition their communities away from fossil fuels. We created our community-based green energy projects grant to provide critical funding for these local efforts.

All bullfrogpowered customers help fund these small-scale, community-led projects, including solar panels on schools and in Indigenous communities, education and training programs, and a cleantech accelerator.
