The members of Temple Beth Sholom in Topeka wanted to save money and reduce their carbon footprint with a solar power installation. We worked with them to design a grid-tied solar panel system utilizing 68 REC solar modules.

These REC solar panels come with a 25-year linear power output warranty, featuring 0.25% warranted annual degradation. This means the REC N-Peak panels will still produce at least 92% of their nameplate power in the 25th year of operation. The system was also designed and installed according to NABCEP (North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners) best practices and is fully compliant with NEC standards.

Synagogues, churches, and nonprofits continue to seek ways to reduce operating costs. Solar offers one of the best long-term solutions. By spending less on rising electricity bills, these organizations can redirect savings to support other important initiatives.

Solar energy also reduces reliance on traditional energy sources, aligning with the Jewish value of Tikkun Olam (repairing the world).

We installed all 68 panels facing south on the temple’s flat roof. This orientation will provide the temple with steady and efficient energy generation throughout the day as the sun passes over the building. This Topeka solar installation will generate clean, renewable energy for decades to come.
