Churches Can No Longer Afford to NOT Go Solar

September 11, 2023 in Conference News

Churches will be hearing from the UCC national setting soon, informing them of federal government incentives that will cover 30% to 80% of a church's solar installation. For most churches that own their own building, it is now to their financial benefit to go solar, regardless of whether they need financing or options that require no upfront costs. Even churches with roofs that prohibit installations can explore parking lot canopies, ground mounted solar, or community solar gardens.

Check out this new UCC resource webpage to learn about the government incentives and an array of resources for going solar.

According to research done by a recent Yale graduate, 746 UCC churches have been identified as eligible for an additional 10% payment from the federal government for a solar installation because of the economic and environmental characteristics of their community. These churches will be notified of their eligibility.

Go explore the new solar resource webpage now!
