Webinar: California Interfaith Power & Light Hosts Faith Communities Going Solar Together!
A webinar hosted by California Interfaith Power & Light, featuring Interfaith Solar Campaign and CollectiveSun discussing how to make solar a reality for your house of worship.
Key Highlights:
Learn how your congregation can take tangible climate action by getting solar panels for your building. Understand the value of solar in the creation care conversation and how to communicate with others in your organization why this is important and how to achieve solar and save money.
We’ll review new financing options that are only available to houses of worship and communities of faith. Learn how good environmental stewardship can also advance cost savings and financial sustainability goals.
We’ll also share how going solar will serve to inspire others in your community and your congregation to take their own climate action steps. You’ll walk away knowing how to get started on a solar project, and feeling the support you need to get started.
