SOLAR ENERGY SYSTEMS FOR CHURCHES

At HES Solar we believe every type of business, including churches and other places of worship can benefit from installing solar energy panels. Holy buildings such as churches, mosques, and synagogues can experience large financial savings when they choose to invest in solar energy. The energy cost savings from the switch to self-generated, renewable energy can be directly given back to the members of the community.

HES Solar has experience installing solar on many different types of buildings and places of worship throughout San Diego County. Churches and their congregants previously constrained by the cost and process associated with switching to renewable energy now have an easier and significantly less expensive way to go solar. At HES Solar we understand how important every financial decision is and our solar experts are here to walk you through the process and answer any question you have.

Whether it is a roof-mounted system, a solar carport, or a ground mount, HES Solar has a long-standing history of providing quality projects and services to local places of worship. Each system is designed to uniquely meet your church’s energy needs. The savings created by solar energy can ultimately help in continuing to provide essential resources for both the house of worship and its members.

Some of our Non-Profit solar projects include:

  • YMCA – Cameroon
  • YMCA – Jackie Robinson
  • YMCA – La Jolla
  • YMCA – McGrath
  • YMCA – Mission Valley
  • YMCA – Toby Wells
  • Copley YMCA
  • New Lincoln Acres Library
  • Covenant Presbyterian
  • Vista L Mesa Christian Church
  • Scottish Rite Hall

NON-PROFIT TAX CREDIT

Depending on whether or not your place of worship is a non-profit, it is important to understand that non-profit organizations do not experience the same 30% ITC tax credit as other commercial businesses. HES Solar is here to walk you through the entire process and make sure that even without the tax incentive for non-profits your business will experience an optimal amount of savings in the short term and in the long run.

With HES Solar you can rest assured our solar experts will never recommend a solar system if it does not make complete financial sense for your house of worship. Find out if solar is right for you and your property and contact us today at (619) 692-2015.

IMPORTANT COMPANY INFORMATION​

HES SOLAR REMAINS OPEN FOR SERVICE

The residential-only entity HES Solar has redefined its scope and has narrowed its focus to home solar service and home battery service. The impact of 2023 California regulations to home solar projects has required this company truncation; we regret the elimination of new home energy installations from our offerings. HES Solar now concentrates on supporting existing systems with maintenance and repair services for HES Solar and non-HES Solar systems and remains available for workmanship warranty work on qualified HES Solar systems. 

For commercial solar and commercial energy storage design, installation, service, and O&M offerings, please visit the HES Renewables website hesrenewables.com

A note on the state of California residential solar: The residential solar industry has faced significant financial hurdles in the last few years as a direct result of hostile policy, most notably NEM 3.0. Our primary trade partner, SunPower, went into Chapter 11 in August, 2024, and a majority of other solar companies, large and small, have been forced to close, leave California, or restructure. We are glad to remain available as a home energy service group to support our customers and provide maintenance and repair for home systems that have been orphaned by other company closures. 

We recognize your frustration with this news and never intended for our beloved 24-year-old residential solar business to curtail its offerings.
