This webinar will share how Houses of Worship have used historical approaches to develop and use solar energy, create community resiliency hubs, establish viable solar power, and use financial and technical assistance in a creative way.

There will be up to 60 minutes of presentations, followed by at least a 30-minute questions and answers period.
