Brad Pitt and Edward Norton
This Fight Club duo supports solar in a number of ways. Brad Pitt is an advocate for solar energy through his involvement in the Make It Right Foundation, which is an organization aimed at helping rebuild eco-friendly homes in New Orleans to curb the after-effects of Hurricane Katrina. He is also involved in the BP Solar Neighbors program alongside Edward Norton. The BP Solar Neighbors program donates a residential solar system to a low-income family in Southern Los Angeles every time a celebrity chooses to install rooftop solar. Other celebs are involved like Tom Hanks, Danny DeVito, Owen Wilson and Salma Hayek.

Julia Roberts
This Pretty Woman is a fan of solar energy. She has outfitted her home in Malibu with enough solar panels to cover three rooftops. But, of course, that’s easy to do when your house spans 6,000 square-feet.

Rachel McAdams
When she’s not on the big screen, Rachel McAdams is far from a “Mean Girl.” She’s ultra-eco-friendly, making sure to bike for errands, unplugging unused appliances and driving an electric car. More importantly, she uses solar energy for her home.

Leonardo DiCaprio
This former “Growing Pains” actor is involved in several climate change projects and also founded The Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation which focuses on creating a more sustainable future for our planet. He even used Energi Surya to power the set of his thriller, Inception.
Thankfully, you don’t have to be a top-grossing actor to reap the benefits of solar energy. Financing options like OneRoof Energy’s secured loans or solar leases make it easy for the folks watching these flicks – like you and me – to help save our environment. One roof at a time.
