Solar for BIPOC Houses of Worship
In partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy's Solar Energy Innovation Network
Download the ReportIn 2022, RE-volv, Green The Church, and Interfaith Power & Light joined forces to launch the Solar for BIPOC Houses of Worship Initiative. Through this initiative, we aim to accelerate the deployment of solar energy in communities by assisting BIPOC houses of worship around the country in transitioning to solar.
The pilot phase of the initiative recently came to a close, tracking the challenges, learnings and successes of three houses of worship that went solar. You can view the findings by downloading the report above.
Watts-Willowbrook Church of Christ, one of the churches a part of the Initiative pilot phase, held a community event to celebrate the installation of their 12 kW solar and soon-to-be-installed battery storage system. The Compton Mayor gave the project an award.
