Our website is live! Learn all about Mahali, Solar Decathlon Africa, our story, plans, and fun facts about all the humans who make up Team Mahali! https://t.co/ybmVPSmf2o #solardecathlon#solarenergy
We are firmly grounded in our African context, a wondrous place with a love for stories. Mahali will be grounded in a story of the present, the story of unemployment and its inexplicable complexities.

Introducing (some of) our creatives. They're alreadt raising funds, setting up our website (launching Friday!), and crafting the stories you see on here. Because what would something awesome like Mahali be without a story?
Apart from building an amazing net-zero-energy house, Mahali will also be spreading the word about living more sustainably. The Mahali Blog is place where we share ways in which we can all tread a little lighter and ways in which others are already doing it. Launching Friday!
Every day we have the opportunity to live in a way that is kinder to the earth, lightning our resource footprint and making our very existence more gentle. Mahali will be a super innovative, prototype house, but #donellameadows#sustainability#hope
Introducing our engineers! These guys will take our wild plans and bring them to life - or possibly tell us to tone it down a little:) The team is from Stellenbosch University and they're grabbing at the chance to apply what they've been learning in class to a tangible project.
Happy Friday from Team Mahali! Today marks exactly ONE WEEK until our website launch! We decided to give you something nice to look at in the meantime. Head over there now and subscribe to our newsletter! https://t.co/ybmVPSmf2o #sustainability
Our mission is to design a #netzeroenergy house suited to the African climate and pocket. Mahali will be a prototype where #solarenergy, energy efficiency and #smartbuilding principles are tested to find the perfect balance. Follow the bright yellow trim for our R&D journey.
Meet our architecture team! These students have been working super hard to come up with our concept design and it's looking pretty spectacular! The team is part of the Architecture School at the University of Cape Town. Don't they look lovely? #sustainablearchitecture@UCT_news
[MAHALI IS] Bright. Gentle. Grounded. While we love everything green building innovation, we are also driven by a broader motivation to live more gently on this planet. We're proud of where we come from and we acknowledge our beautiful, African roots. #staygrounded#shinebright
Renewables can transform #Panama’s energy system but the regulations that govern the way utilities & power producers are rewarded for the capacity potential, need reform. Find out more https://t.co/2p45yhZoZg
We've been spending a lot of time establishing Mahali - from members to values. Mahali is finally ready for her official kick off! Over the coming two weeks we'll reveal what Mahali is really about, where she is grounded, and which amazing humans form the team behind her.
