We believe that sharing access to clean energy is one of the best ways to build just, sustainable communities. That's why we partnered with Co-op Power to launch the Boston Interfaith Community Solar Program. The 2016 pilot brought solar to Second Church in Dorchester, Bethel A.M.E., and the Church of Saint Augustine and Saint Martin.

What You Need to Know
Description:
"I've been interested in solar and alternative energy since the 1970s. I have known about the potential, but the problem was always money. Now, there is an option for us that allows our community to show its leadership. The Church is the foundation of the community; it's where people grow and develop values. When something positive happens here, everyone in the community sees it. Now, we can see the church's commitment to stewardship right here on our roof." -Alphonse Knight, Second Church in Dorchester
