Greenfaith – Solar Screening Event – Christ Church

donQuiote_theridgewoodblog

All are Welcome to Attend

On Sunday, July 12 at 12 noon, GreenFaith, an interfaith environmental nonprofit organization, and Green Power Energy will offer a Solar Screening Event at Christ Episcopal Church.
This event offers homeowners the chance to be screened for a zero-cost solar installation that would provide them with savings on their energy costs. “We’re excited to host this event and invite all members of the community to join us to see if their property is suitable for solar,” said the Rev. Beth Rauen Sciaino, associate rector. At the screening event, there will be a monitor set up enabling interested homeowners to have their home screened via satellite photos to see if their property appears to be suitable for solar. Green Power Energy will also do a short educational presentation on their residential solar programs and discuss the basics of solar energy. “It’s an enjoyable, interesting way to learn about solar power,” said Rev. Fletcher Harper, GreenFaith’s Executive Director. “We’re eager to work with faith-based and nonprofit sites around New Jersey to identify homeowners whose home qualifies for this great opportunity.” For every home that successfully goes solar through this solar screening event and related on-line registration, GreenFaith will make a $250 contribution to Christ Episcopal Church.
This offer is open to all New Jersey homeowners and the public is welcome to attend this event. Refreshments will be served. For those who cannot attend in person, homeowners can register on-line at www.greenfaith.org to have their property evaluated. Christ Church is located at 105 Cottage Place in Ridgewood. For more information or directions to the church, please visit www.christchurchridgewood.org.
