Solar panels on religious buildings save money — and inspire congregants to give green energy a try

Religious institutions in the U.S. are increasingly installing solar panels to reduce energy costs and promote sustainability. Places of worship, including synagogues, churches, mosques, and temples, are leveraging solar energy to align with their values of stewardship and community service. These installations not only provide financial relief but also enable religious organizations to contribute to the local energy grid, benefiting the broader community. Some of these institutions are even sharing their solar-generated power with neighbors, especially those in need. This movement reflects a growing trend of faith-based groups embracing renewable energy as part of their environmental and social justice missions.

So, Temple Beth Am had a financial incentive from the Inflation Reduction Act, an environmental incentive, and a moral incentive, too.
