Illinois students bring solar power to Navajo Nation homes
Original: Illinois State and Heartland students bring solar power to Navajo Nation homes through Skip the Grid
Students from Illinois State University and Heartland Community College are installing solar power systems for homes on the Navajo Nation through the Skip the Grid initiative. Many Navajo households lack access to electricity, and the program gives students hands-on experience while delivering renewable energy to families who have gone without it. The universities highlight the project as a model of service learning and community partnership.
Why now: The universities have just publicized the student-led solar installation project, drawing attention to energy inequality on the Navajo Nation.
