How does Sunlight for Sanctuaries Honor Creation?

As Scripture reminds us, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.” (Psalm 24:1 NIV)

God has given us abundant, renewable sunlight—freely, generously, and without limit. 

Together, we can honor His creation through responsible stewardship by harnessing the miraculous gift of solar energy

Reducing our dependence on costly, non-renewable sources

Freeing household resources for kingdom purposes

And modeling environmental care for future generations.

 

How do members benefit?

Qualifying members can get a solar array installed at no cost and get free electric power for 20 years.

Members who need a roof replacement can often get a free roof replacement and power from a rooftop solar array at less than half the cost of PEPCO.

No upfront costs through Free Solar Options

Immediate energy savings of 50% or more

20 years of renewable power included

Roof replacement handled if needed

Professional installation by trusted experts

Ongoing support throughout the process

 

How does this program Bless Our Church?

 When you participate in Sunlight For Sanctuaries®, you’re not just blessing your household—you’re strengthening our church’s ability to:

Feed families through benevolence programs

Support youth and discipleship initiatives

Care for seniors and homebound members

Serve the community through outreach

Expand ministry and Gospel impact

Sustain programs that change lives
Scripture teaches:

“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” (1 Peter 4:10 NIV)

This program allows us to practice that stewardship together—caring for creation, supporting one another, and strengthening the body of Christ.

How is this possible?

Click the topics below to understand how we use local and federal incentives to provide no-cost solar power while also making donations to church ministry funds.

Local incentives are the best in the world

Because DC and parts of nearby Maryland have the best solar incentives in the world, we can cover all purchase, installation, and maintenance costs using incentives.

We don’t have to charge our customers for solar power systems because over time, the incentives will cover the cost.

Most customers pay nothing for systems

Our zero cent rate solar power purchasing customers don’t have to pay anything for purchase, installation, and maintenance.

Many customers get free power

Homeowners can sign an agreement to allow us to install the system and they get free power from the system.

This generates annual incentives that we use to pay for the system. The homeowner pays nothing.

Many of our customers get free power with no up front costs and no rental or maintenance fees.

Just really truly free power with no cost ever made possible by great local incentives!

Who qualifies for free power with zero up front cost?

As long as your roof and electric system are in good shape and you don’t need tree trimming, you can probably qualify for free power and no system or maintenance cost!

What if I don't qualify because of roof repair needs?

Don’t worry! If you need roof repairs, electric system upgrades, or tree trimming, we may be able to cover all or most of those costs. But instead of getting power for free, you will get power for at least 50% less than PEPCO charges, maybe even 80% less!

Local incentives help us pay repair costs

Solar incentives in DC and nearby MD are the best in the world, which allows us to purchase, install, and maintain systems at no cost our customers. This is a good starting point if we also need to pay for a roof.

We can pay for a free roof if you pay for half price power

If there are no expenses, we can give homeowners power for free. But when there are expenses like roof repair costs, we can’t afford to do free roof repair and give away free power.

But we can cover the roof costs if the homeowner agrees to purchase power from the system at rates that are 50% to 80% less than PEPCO rates.

So this way you get a free roof and half price power or maybe even an 80% discount on power. 

Get a free roof replacement and cut your utility bill in half

Every roof is different*, but many of our customers get a free roof replacement and replace most or all of their PEPCO electric consumption with solar power. And PEPCO power costs 20 cents a kw or more while your solar power will be priced at 8 cents a kw or lower. That means you can get a free roof and reduce your electric bill by more than half, with absolutely no cost to you ever.

( *Some roof expenses exceed coverage limits. Many roofs have space for solar that will cover 100% of consumption, but some roofs only have enough space for solar to cover part of the bill. )

Free Roof Replacement Example

Check out this case study showing the benefits of free roof replacement and half price solar power made possible with DC incentives. No cost to the homeowner, just a new roof and a much lower electric bill!

Find out how much you can save with zero cost solar or free roof repair and half price power.

We will design a system, model your solar savings and show you the best options. If you qualify, we will make a donation to your church and you will save thousands of dollars in avoided PEPCO bills.
