eSolar Gets $10 Million from Google.org
1/18/08 – Pasadena-based eSolar, the renewable energy startup that specializes in solar thermal power, has been given the largest grant by Google.org in its initial $26 million disbursement of funds. Back in late November, Google.org, which is Google’s philanthropic arm, announced that eSolar would be part of the first group of companies to receive support.
eSolar, an IdeaLab startup, will get $10 million dollars in this round of funding. Google.org says it is also contributing toward fighting health and environmental threats, improving public services and supporting small businesses.
Oak Investment Partners is also an investor in eSolar.
