UPCOB signs Power Purchase Agreement with University Park Solar LLC

pam May 7th, 2010

On Sunday April 24, 2010 UPCOB entered into a historic and hopefully growing movement of agreeing to purchase power in the near future from the University Park Solar LLC.  Solar panels purchased by University Park Solar LLC will be installed on the south roof of the church building in the next month or so.  Everyone participating in this venture is hoping that this kind of arrangement will be a model for other communities and other churches. 

Keep checking back here for a posting on the installation day and celebration Sunday when the panels will be turned on and UPCOB will be solar powered!
