Get your monthly dose of climate hope with Kevin Chou— a clean energy leader advancing plug-in solar!

Come learn from Kevin Chou, a clean energy leader working to make plug-in solar affordable and accessible to all!

When it comes to climate change, doom-and-gloom stories are everywhere. But there's another story unfolding, too — one of bold climate entrepreneurs, breakthrough clean energy innovations, and practical solutions that are already expanding access and accelerating progress.

For this March's Dose of Climate Hope, you'll learn from Kevin Chou, Executive Director & Co-Founder of Bright Saver, a nonprofit working to build a future where clean, affordable energy is in everyone's hands. After scaling high-growth tech companies, Kevin is now focused on bringing plug-in solar into the mainstream and making clean energy work for everyday people, no matter their income or address.

In conversation with Sam Matey-Coste, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Action Now, Kevin will share what it takes to scale climate solutions, why energy access matters, and how plug-in solar can help power a more equitable future.

Come learn from Kevin, bring your questions, and leave with renewed optimism — because climate hope is being built!
