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.
