The Reformed Church of Highland Park
The Reformed Church
of Highland Park “went solar” through
GreenFaith’s Lighting the Way program in early 2006.
RCHP’s solar array consists of 126 solar panels with
1,402 square feet of collector space. The array will generate
over 13,700 kilowatt hours of clean power annually – more
than 260,000 kilowatt hours over 20 years – equivalent
to approximately 35% of the church’s current electricity
usage. The church will prevent more than 286,000 pounds of
greenhouse gas emissions over 20 years – a significant
contribution to the fight against climate change.
Read
the sermon preached by the Rev. Seth Kaper Dale, pastor
of RCHP, on the occasion of the Dedication of the church’s
solar array.
RCHP’s system was installed in two
sections – one
on the roof of the sanctuary and a second on the roof of
the Fellowship Hall. Both sections are on sloped roofs. These
installations require that the panels be attached to roof
beams, with bolts penetrating the roof membrane. None of
GreenFaith’s Lighting the Way installations have had
any roof leakage, thanks to Sun Farm Network’s excellent
installation teams.
