Over the last two weeks 20 community members participated in hands-on solar PV training, learning the basics of electricity, solar system design, operation and maintenance.

Next week, they will get a chance to apply their skills by participating in the installation of a 10 kW solar system for the Bompaso Community Center.

We’re excited to share about a fun project we’ve been working on that beautifully combines two unlikely things: puzzles and renewable energy! 🧩☀️

One of our Board members, Mark Jacobs went looking last holiday season for a jigsaw puzzle that celebrated classic American farm life and featured solar energy. To his surprise, such a puzzle didn’t exist… so he decided to make one and loop in Twende Solar to connect it back to impact.

Mark teamed up with Oregon artist Kathleen Russel, whose work captures the warmth of rural life and the promise of renewable energy. The result is a 500-piece puzzle that reimagines the American countryside with solar panels woven naturally into the landscape: a vision of a future where clean energy is part of our cultural identity.

Even better, a portion of the proceeds support Twende Solar’s mission to bring electricity to communities in need around the world.

This puzzle makes a thoughtful gift for team members, clients or anyone who loves art, puzzles, and clean energy and every purchase helps empower communities with access to renewable energy.

The puzzle is now available for preorder from the Portland Puzzle

The Camas Washougal Rotary recently contributed to our project in Bompaso, Ghana--getting us one step closer to electrifying the Bompaso Community Center. The Columbian newspaper picked up the story and shared how one Rotary member saw an opportunity to have an impact and found a way to make it happen.

"Just like the solar (infrastructure at my house), I did this because I had a problem I needed to resolve, and I wanted to solve it creatively,” said Friedman, a Rotary member. “I wanted it to be meaningful. I kind of feel like I leveraged the loss of power at my house to enable a village.”
