Temple Bnai Abraham of Livingston

Temple Bnai Abraham went solar through Lighting the Way in 2006 with a 3-section array installed on the facility’s flat roof. Flat roof solar arrays sit on top of the roof surface and are not bolted into the building. A system consisting of weights and wind baffles keep the array securely planted on the roof surface. Sun Farm Network’s surface mounting systems have been tested up to wind speeds of 125 miles per hour and do not impact existing roof warranties.

TBA celebrated the dedication of their solar array in October, 2006 during the holiday of Sukkot, the Jewish Festival of Booths. This festival serves as a reminder in the Jewish tradition of the Israelites 40-year wandering in the wilderness. Sukkot also serves as a harvest festival. The festival is now often used by synagogues as an opportunity to highlight the relationship between Judaism and the environment.
