COME ON, ADMIT IT:
YOU WISH
YOUR PLACE OF WORSHIP
HAD
SOLAR PANELS,
DON'T YOU???

 
 

Yep…

Many of Austin's houses of worship would LOVE to protect Creation by installing solar panels, helping to meet  their energy needs in a green, renewable way! Yet many of these same congregations have yet to take the plunge.

If you belong to one of these "on the fence" communities, then you know that the best intentions can get bogged down in all kinds of confusing questions:

  • How can we deal with the startup costs?
  • How much will we really save on our electric bill?
  • What's the current status of rebates and other government incentives?
  • How can Austin Energy help us?
  • What are the congregational politics of such a project and how can they be dealt with?
  • How do we choose a contractor?
