In 2023, Exact Solar designed and installed a 14.4 kW system for Providence Friends Meeting House. Their Climate Crisis and Finance Committees raised 70% of the project cost through pledges and donations, with the remaining 30% covered by the federal solar investment tax credit.
Community involvement made this project especially meaningful. A local scout troop installed fencing as an Eagle Scout project, while the Landscape Committee planted native perennials around protective bollards. The Climate Crisis Committee also chose to retire the system’s Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs) to demonstrate their commitment to sustainability. The project has strengthened the Meeting’s sense of community and deepened their shared commitment to climate action.
