    • Abstract:
      Backed by crowdfunding and venture-capital firms, the company pays its investors back via savings on energy bills and selling back to the grid excess power generated by newly green buildings. Enter Donnel Baird, founder and CEO of BlocPower, a Brooklyn-based climate-technology company that retrofits buildings in low-income neighborhoods with solar panels, electric heat pumps, and other green tech to lower energy bills and reduce planet-warming emissions. About one-third of American households struggle to pay their energy bills, and nearly 30% of U.S. greenhouse gases come from heating, cooling, and operating buildings. [Extracted from the article]
