01
Weekend-peak church load
Production peaks weekdays, demand peaks Sunday. Solar plus net metering or storage smooths the mismatch.
Solar for Churches & Schools
Solar and storage for San Diego churches, faith organizations, and private schools
Nonprofits have specific financial structures, specific operating windows, and specific facility footprints. We design around all three, and we're honest about which financing approach actually fits the organization.

Nonprofit fit
Solar that fits the building, the budget, and the calendar
A weekend-heavy church load curve and a school-day weekday curve look very different. Both are good candidates for solar — but the design and storage approach should follow the use.

Where nonprofit solar fits
Six configurations across faith organizations and schools
02
School-day weekday load
Production and demand align well during the school year. Summer break is when storage and TOU strategies matter.
03
PPA or lease structure
Direct ownership is not always the right fit for a 501(c). We help compare PPAs, leases, and ownership transparently.
04
Sized to actual use
We model your actual calendar — not a generic kilowatt-per-square-foot — to size the system right.
05
EV-ready parking
Parking lots get EV chargers as a community amenity. Pairs cleanly with carport solar over the same parking.
06
Critical-load backup
Sanctuaries, classrooms, and food-service areas during outages. Sized to what the organization cannot afford to lose.
Nonprofit financing realities
01
Direct ownership is not always the best fit for a 501(c)
02
PPA and lease options exist and are not always the right answer either
03
We help you compare the actual options, not pitch one model
04
Rebates and grant programs evolve — we track them
