We are pleased to share that we have renewed our 2Kw for $5k program for 2025!  Through this program, your faith community can get a 2 Kilowatt solar array for $5,000.  While this array is not large, installing smaller arrays over time can be much easier for a congregation to implement.  A 2KW (2,000 watt) solar array installed in Kentucky that lays flat on a roof can produce from 2,562 to 2,823 kWh of electricity per year and save $242 annually.  That means that this $5,000 system will generate about $12,000 of electricity in its 50-year life. That’s about a 5% return on your money!

​For more information or if your congregation might be interested in participating in this program, email tim@kentuckyipl.org.
