The Right Move for Your Building?
Faith communities are investing in their future with solar power, showing their commitment to fighting climate change. Most realize savings that come with energy from the sun.
Of equal importance, when you join this movement you influence and inspire congregants to take their own climate action.
Houses of Worship with solar energy have inspired members of their congregation, and the surrounding community, to take climate action as well. Some report attracting new members to their faith community as a result of the leadership they have shown. It’s a win-win opportunity!
The reality of the climate emergency threatens lives and the planet, making it imperative that people of faith work together to inspire climate action in others.
Please join this effort and together we will combat the worst effects of this existential problem.
The Many Benefits of Going Solar
Social
Your congregation can be a local leader in environmental stewardship. Fellow congregations will recognize your action and will be inspired to participate. Building a sense of community pride and climate action is the mission of this campaign
Financial
Fossil fuel electricity costs continue to rise as supplies diminish, but not so with the endless sun.
You will save money and avoid those monstrous yearly price increases by your utility when you have solar panels generating the majority of your energy.
Ministry
Beyond the visual appeal of solar panels enhancing your place of worship, bask in the knowledge that you are contributing to a healthier planet. Many congregations see going solar as a way to inspire more people to do climate action, a clear ministry coming from their faith.
Wellness
Clean energy promotes overall well-being for all. Being part of the solution, and less of the problem, relieves guilt and reroutes anger into action.
Transform your faith community into a beacon of renewable energy
The Campaign partners with The CollectiveSun Foundation to make solar affordable. Our goal is to make your project “cash flow positive” and save money from day one. If your house of worship meets the criteria we will help you replace your current electric bill with a lease of solar panels that mirrors your current electricity cost.
With this scenario, CollectiveSun owns the panels on your roof, and so is responsible for purchasing, installing and maintaining those panels. You receive all of the energy generated by their solar appliance. This takes away the need to find all of the upfront money to purchase a system.
As a nonprofit, the CollectiveSun Foundation will own your solar system during the life of the panels. As owners, they are responsible for the maintenance of the panels, and they will provide a production guarantee along with 24/7 monitoring. It’s the easy button for you and your congregation!
Solar panels will alter the look of your roof, and we consider that look to be the new “status symbol”.
Solar shows your commitment to a new energy economy that is life-affirming. Altering your building’s look allows others to see that they, too, can take tangible climate action.
Solar projects often fail to reach the finish line due to a lack of technical expertise and financial support. The Interfaith Solar Campaign grew out of this need, and has the partners who can navigate this kind of construction project.
If you were replacing your roof, you probably wouldn’t try to do it yourself. With solar projects, bringing the right people together to make a solar array work for your roof takes the right expertise as well.
Yes! Reducing your carbon emissions by relying less on fossil fuels to power your buildings is a tangible step in fighting climate change. Equally important is the example that you set for those in your congregation and surrounding community. And when you go solar you’ll be one of over 2500 congregations of faith in the US that have already done so. You’re not alone!
