Online Webinar | Monday, September 22 | 7:00 PM

Many people don’t realize that houses of worship can still qualify for the federal “direct pay” rebate, which sends your house of worship a check for up to 40% of the cost of solar panels. But you have to act fast: this incentive ends in 2027.

Join MassIPL for a free online webinar to learn about this opportunity and how your congregation can take advantage of it before time runs out.

What you’ll learn

  • How the direct pay benefit works
  • The key steps to take to claim it
  • A set of milestones to keep your project on track
  • An introduction to MassIPL’s newest solar partner, New England Clean Energy

A bonus for every registrant

New England Clean Energy will provide a preliminary evaluation of your building’s solar potential, including ballpark costs and how much electricity panels may provide, to help start the conversation in your congregation.

MassIPL has helped more than 60 houses of worship install solar panels. If yours has ever considered going solar, join us so you don’t miss the chance to claim this generous incentive.

Presenters

  • Alan Sherman, Solar Leader, MassIPL
  • David Kleinschmidt, Commercial Solar Design Consultant, New England Clean Energy
