UU Fellowship Going Solar

The UUFDC decided on a ground-mounted array because it’s more accessible for repairs and doesn’t need to be removed if the roof needs repairs. Photo courtesy of Eland Electric.

The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Door County (UUFDC) is moving away from reliance on fossil fuels by installing solar panels. Once operational, the new panels will generate approximately 10,000 kWh of energy per year, supply 90% of the UUFDC’s electricity usage and keep the equivalent of 5.5 tons of coal in the ground. 

With the needed permits in place, the solar-panel installation can begin this month, weather permitting. UUFDC’s board of directors selected Eland Electric Corporation of Green Bay for the project, with Jesse Michalski serving as the project manager.
