Lighthouse Christian Church Celebrates Large Solar Power Installation
The Sullivan Solar Power system is to save the church over $2 million dollars
OCEANSIDE, Calif., September 2, 2017 (Newswire.com) - Lighthouse Christian Church in Oceanside recently converted to Sullivan Solar Power and held a ribbon-cutting ceremony with their members to celebrate. The 142,708-watt solar power system will conservatively save the church over $1 million during the next 25 years. This is without taking rising utility rate increases into the equation (which would equate to greater savings).
About 65 members of Lighthouse Christian Church gathered for the Sunday solar ribbon-cutting ceremony. Pastor Mike of Lighthouse Christian Church kicked off the ceremony with a quote from the bible.
We are proud to be assisting Lighthouse Christian Church in declaring energy independence, making our world a better place today while preserving our resources for the next generations.
Daniel Sullivan, Founder and president of Sullivan Solar Power
"God said, 'Let there be light' and there was light. God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light day, and the darkness He called night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day."
Pastor Mike continued to highlight how Lighthouse Christian Church is now utilizing the sun, God's gift, to power the church, save money and reduce their carbon footprint. The output of the Sullivan Solar Power system from this local church's solar power systems equates to 107,201 pounds of coal not burned to produce electricity or 11,285 gallons of gas not consumed.
"Churches in San Diego are rapidly joining the solar energy revolution and showing the world their commitment to reducing fossil fuel consumption," said Daniel Sullivan, founder and president of Sullivan Solar Power. "We are proud to be assisting Lighthouse Christian Church in declaring energy independence, making our world a better place today while preserving our resources for the next generations."
Many local churches are going solar and seeing these multiple benefits, prompting some leaders to encourage their members to adopt solar on their homes to reduce their carbon footprint.
Lighthouse Christian Church utilized CollectiveSun to finance this solar project. CollectiveSun is based in San Diego, and the only company in America that exclusively helps nonprofits and tax exempt organizations fund solar projects nationwide.
"CollectiveSun is proud to have added Lighthouse Christian Church to the list of nonprofits we've been able to help save 15 percent off the cost of solar," said Todd Bluechel, vice president of sales, marketing and business development for CollectiveSun.
