St. Philip’s Episcopal Church’s Creation Care Committee wanted to go solar and to take advantage of the new incentives available through the Direct Pay (Elective Pay) provision in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA; this is the federal legislation that incentivizes clean energy, passed in 2022).

Our July electricity bill was $250, and the following month when the solar was up and running, we spent $3.42.
