Desert Garden United Church of Christ Adopts Solar

Desert Garden United Church of Christ (UCC) in Sun City West, Arizona, added solar panels to lower its energy costs.

The religious organization partnered with Capital Energy, which installed the solar array, and RE-volv, which provided the financing, to add a 47-kW solar array sized to generate 100% of the church’s energy needs. The solar project will save the church $14,000 annually on its energy bills and avoid CO2 emissions.

"We’re honored to serve as an example for Arizona congregations and nonprofits, showcasing the benefits of solar energy and the ease of transitioning with zero-down financing options, like RE-volv’s, and federal solar tax incentives,” said Pastor Bill of Desert Garden UCC in a statement.
