The actor, philanthropist and race car driver – an advocate of usingsolar PVpanels as an energy source –has teamed up with Trina Solar to establish an initiative which aims to bring the clean and affordable renewable energy to communities across America.

As part of the initiative, solar modules will be donated to schools, health clinics and communities in the U.S. Key to the success of the initiative will be building the infrastructure to sustain the investment with a network of local solar installers, partners and providers of system components.
