North Carolina’s houses of worship are going solar

Across the state, people from all walks of life agree we deserve a cleaner, healthier future. 

For too long, dirty energy has polluted our air and harmed our communities, but now, thanks in part to new federal tax incentives, it’s never been easier for individuals and communities to choose cleaner, greener energy sources. 

One such community taking advantage of these pathways to clean energy: Our houses of worship. 

Solar energy is abundant, efficient and increasingly affordable, and houses of worship often are great candidates for rooftop solar panels. While people frequent these buildings much less during the week, their panels will still generate power that can be used by the community. And come weekend prayer services, churches and other congregations can benefit from the clean power and lower utility bills.

New tax incentives are putting solar power within reach of more congregations, helping them reduce pollution, save energy and money, and become more resilient in the face of extreme weather.
