We are so grateful to have been able to install this beautiful ground-mounted community solar project in partnership with Groundswell and Sunlight General Capital. This project will provide power to 50 homes subscribing as part of Groundswell's Share Power project. 12 of these subscriptions are available to low-income households that will receive the power for free.
Read more about this project in a great NPR article about churches taking advantage of solar to help their communities:

Ipsun solar crew installing commercial solar panels in Washington DC

Chint inverters convert the DC energy from the sun into the AC electricity!

Our team is so proud of the part they've each played in making this array aesthetically pleasing, being useful to the community by making renewable energy available, and helping D.C. families save $500 a year on their power bills!
