In partnership with Yes! Solar Solutions and Argand Energy Solutions, Dorcas Ministries, a Cary-based non-profit, will install a 236.5 kW solar photovoltaic rooftop system at their facilities. The 845-panel array will be installed on approximately 50,000 square feet of rooftop space across multiple buildings.
The partnership between Yes! Solar Solutions of Cary and Argand Energy Solutions, with offices in Durham and Charlotte, will result in the largest non-profit solar energy system in Wake County and one of the largest non-profit installations in the state of North Carolina. The two solar energy companies will work side-by-side on the installation. Once operating, the system will produce enough energy to power the equivalent of approximately 28 small homes each year.
Under an innovative solar financing model, Argand Energy and its investor will own and operate the system and Dorcas Ministries will be able to benefit from solar energy with no out-of-pocket expenses. The non-profit will receive lease payments for the otherwise unusable rooftop space. Construction on the project is slated to begin in February.
Dorcas Ministries is a non-profit organization focused on serving Wake County residents who find themselves in any kind of temporary financial crisis. Both Yes! Solar Solutions and Argand Energy Solutions are expanding their services into the non-profit sector to help organizations reap the benefits of clean energy.
