Solar power.
While A-listers are known for living large, many are also leading the way in sustainability—and that includes powering their luxury homes with clean, renewable energy. Here’s a look at 10 celebrities who’ve embraced solar energy, showing the world that going green is not only smart—it’s seriously stylish.

Brad Pitt participated in the BP Solar Neighbours Program which gives a low-income family a free solar panels system for every celebrity that installs solar in their home. After Hurricane Katrina Brad Pitt founded the Make It Right Foundation in 2007, building over 150 sustainable homes for those affected by the natural disaster.

Energy efficient lighting, high efficient appliances and other green tech has reduced the celebrity couples carbon footprint and their energy bills.

The Hollywood actress’s Malibu home is a self-sustained eco-haven, powered completely by solar. Passionate about making the world a better place for future generations, the Pretty Woman star made a multitude of green upgrades to her home.

Jamie Oliver
Famous for his Naked Chef series, filmed in his home, the property is full of sustainable green tech. Ahead of his time, his property was powered by solar panels and wind turbines. He’s also responsible for creating the first carbon-neutral TV series, which saw him travel across America offsetting 242.6 tonnes of carbon emissions.

Leonardo DiCaprio
Arguably Hollywood’s most famous environmentalist, Leo has solar panels on his home and even built an eco-resort powered entirely by renewables. He’s also produced multiple documentaries on climate change – and drives an electric car.
