Trinity St. Peter's Solar Celebration

As the West Coast’s oldest Episcopal church, Trinity St. Peter’s is powering its next century of service with a new 19.74 kW solar array.

This project, completed in partnership with RE-volv, California Interfaith Power & Light (CIPL) & SunSource, allows the church to serve San Francisco with clean, local energy while honoring its commitment to stewardship.

Transitioning to solar will save the church an estimated $261,000 in energy costs over time that they will redirect into vital food programs, community cleanups, and local ministries.

The celebration will include:

Short reflections from local faith and community leaders, including special guest Lavanya Deepak, Senior Racial Equity Coordinator for the San Francisco Environment DepartmentA ribbon-cutting ceremonyLight refreshmentsSolar education booths & networking

We hope to see you there!
