Solar and Energy Efficiency Resource Guide for Congregations (2023).
Our guide contains some general info about solar, costs and financing, and several testimonials about congregations in California who have gone solar.
The purpose of this guide is to give a short overview of solar/photovoltaic (PV) power and financing as it suits the needs of California congregations in the California Interfaith Power & Light (CIPL) network. As non-profits with unique cash-flow concerns, congregations often face challenging questions when investigating the possibilities of installing a PV system.
The benefits of solar include:
- Switching your electricity away from fossil fuel generated power.
- Reducing the cost of your facility’s monthly energy bills while creating a pathway to ownership of the solar array.
- Modeling stewardship of the environment to your community.
- Supporting California IPL’s growing interfaith statewide network for climate action.
