Corporate Solar Sponsorship: How Your Business Can Power Change
Your business already uses energy every day. What if that same energy could change lives on the other side of the world?
Through the Little Sunshine Pledge Sunshine Partner Program, Australian businesses can sponsor solar installations for orphanages, kindergartens, and schools in Vietnam and Cambodia — while also benefiting from meaningful CSR outcomes, tax deductions, and genuine community impact.
This is not a token donation or a logo on a website. This is real infrastructure that powers real lives, funded by businesses that want their corporate social responsibility to mean something.
Why Solar Sponsorship Is Different
Most corporate giving programs involve writing a cheque and hoping it makes a difference. Solar sponsorship through Little Sunshine Pledge is different because the impact is tangible, measurable, and lasting.
When your business sponsors a solar system, you are funding a physical asset that:
Operates for 25+ years — Long after a standard sponsorship cycle ends, the solar panels you funded are still generating clean electricity.
Creates measurable savings — Every kilowatt-hour of solar energy reduces the facility’s electricity bill. Those savings go directly to food, education, and care for children.
Delivers real results you can see — Each system is installed at a named facility, and you can follow the impact through photos, reports, and ongoing updates.
Tells a story — Your team, clients, and stakeholders can see exactly where the system was installed, who it serves, and what difference it makes.
Unlike many CSR initiatives, solar sponsorship through Little Sunshine Pledge gives you a direct line between your contribution and its outcome. No overhead uncertainty. No vague impact reports. Just panels on a roof, power in a building, and children with better lives.
Three Ways Your Business Can Partner With Us
Sunshine Partner Program — Sponsor Through Your Energy
The Sunshine Partner Program is our flagship corporate partnership model. It works by connecting your business’s energy investment to charitable impact.
Here is how it works:
Your business enters a solar Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with one of our partner installers
You receive clean solar energy for your business premises
Your PPA payments go directly towards powering a new solar installation at an orphanage, school, or community centre in Southeast Asia
You get clean energy for your business AND fund clean energy for communities in need
It is a model where everyone benefits. Your business gets solar energy, your carbon footprint shrinks, and children in Vietnam and Cambodia gain access to reliable power — all from the same investment.

Direct System Sponsorship
For businesses that want to fund a specific project, direct system sponsorship allows you to sponsor a complete solar installation for a named facility. You can tailor your sponsorship amount to match what you want to achieve — from contributing to a project to funding an entire system.
What you get:
Sponsorship recognition on the project page and installation site
Professional photos and impact reporting from the installation
A direct connection to the community your system serves
Content for your annual report, sustainability disclosures, and internal communications
In-Kind Support
If your business manufactures or distributes solar equipment, electrical components, or related products, we welcome in-kind sponsorship. We are proud to have equipment partners who make our installations possible:
GoodWe provides inverter systems for our projects
Yingli has donated solar panels
Clenergy has contributed mounting and racking equipment
These partnerships reduce installation costs and ensure high-quality components go into every system. If your business can contribute equipment or materials, we would love to hear from you.
Real Impact: What Corporate Sponsorship Achieves
To understand what corporate solar sponsorship looks like in practice, look at Hoa Mai Orphanage — a project proudly supported by Adelaide Window and Door Solutions. A 5kW solar system now powers classrooms, dormitories, and kitchens. Children study under electric lights. Fans cool rooms that were once stifling in the tropical heat. Refrigerators preserve food that would otherwise spoil.
None of this would be possible without the support of businesses that chose to invest in solar energy for these communities.
The numbers speak for themselves:
Over 50kW of solar capacity installed across Vietnam and Cambodia
10 projects delivered at orphanages, kindergartens, and schools
Over 400 children benefiting from reliable solar power every day
These are not hypothetical projections. These are real systems, producing real energy, for real children.
Tax Benefits for Australian Businesses
All donations and sponsorships to Little Sunshine Pledge are tax-deductible under Australian law. We hold Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status from the Australian Taxation Office, and we are registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC).
For businesses, this means:
Sponsorship contributions can be claimed as a tax deduction
Corporate giving reduces your taxable income while creating genuine social impact
Tax receipts are issued for all donations and sponsorships
We recommend consulting your accountant or tax adviser for specific guidance on how solar charity sponsorship fits within your business’s tax planning.

Your Business Can Be Part of the Solution
Climate change and energy poverty are two of the defining challenges of our time. By sponsoring solar energy for communities in need, your business addresses both — reducing emissions while directly improving lives.
Every solar panel your business funds is a statement: that your company cares about more than profit. That you believe in a future where clean energy is available to everyone, not just those who can afford it.
