We are thrilled to annouce that the Gold Standard has officially approved SolarAid's Malawi and Zambia projects as GS VER micro-scale projects. This means that these projects are now officially registered as carbon offset schemes, allowing SolarAid to generate Gold Standard credits from the projects and then sell those credits to generate further income.
