Solar for Your Home

Now is the time to consider solar energy for your home. Wednesday September 28 at 7:00 p.m. in Henderson Hall. We hear from two experts how to take advantage of what the sun has to offer when powering our residences or churches. There are many options to consider when looking at solar. New incentives were added by Illinois in 2021 and more options were added with the passage of the federal Inflation Reduction Act. Dan Huntsha of Faith in Place and Tim Milburn, an industry consultant, will provide two segments with time for questions.

This event will be held in Henderson Hall, which is handicapped accessible. It also comfortably seats a very large audience. Masks are encouraged by not required as of this time.
