Unitarian Society of Santa Barbara Goes Solar!!


Soooo nice to finally be done with this phase of the project! The panels are up - collecting the sunlight and doing their thing, generating about 30% of our power. The next step will be when we replace the roof of one of our buildings in the next three or four years - and cover it with solar panels. We figure we can fit about fifty more panels on that stretch or roof, and if we do - our whole campus should be more or less carbon neutral!

But one step, and one capital campaign at a time...

Here is a link to an article in our local Daily Sound about our project and the ways we are trying to encourage other congregations to begin projects of their own.
