 * From the Property Chairman: . Phase one of the solar project has been completed this week, and all the physical hardware has been installed and is functional. This includes the 120 panels on our roof, the controlling Inverters and ancillary cabling and switchboard changes. We are very appreciative of the wonderful job the installation team has done, and also thank the congregation and guests for adapting to the reduced parking all week. The next phase is for the system to be tested by the electricity agencies and government testers before it is then commissioned. This may take a couple of weeks. We will keep the congregation informed of the progress.
  . Here is just one photo of what our church roof now looks like above the Foyer, Fellowship, Chapel, Room 2 & 3 and across the front of the north side of the hall roof. In conjunction with Bright Solar, we will be writing a review and story for Crosslight and our own Church Monthly bulletin as well as posting pictures and explanations on our web site. You can see more at PropertySolarPanels.
