Sri Bhaktha Anjaneya Temple is committed to environmental sustainability. We have initiated various projects aimed at fostering “Go Green”. Our temple already has a greenhouse and we utilize solar to power all of our buildings. The temple has contracted Suntrail Energy to establish a 2.5-megawatt community solar project under Phase 2 temple construction to further support the devotee community. We are now accepting subscribers.

FAQs

How does the SBAT community solar farm work?

The SBAT community solar farm will produce and transmit clean power to your local electric grid. You, as a participant in the program, receive credit on your electric bill for the power produced by your system (solar panels) located within the solar farm.

How much will I save?

Customers will save 10% on the portion of their electric bill that is offset by your solar system. In other words, if your system produces $100 in electric credits, you will only owe $90 for that portion of your bill. Your bill would be $10 less than you would have paid previous to joining the program.

How much does it cost?

Zero. There is no upfront cost to join the program. Community solar programs are designed to incentivize citizens like yourself to participate in promoting clean energy solutions, and therefore, it’s important that there is zero risk and zero cost to participate.

Do I have to maintain anything?

No. You are participating in a community solar farm that is maintained by a private company specializing in solar technology. You reap the benefits without any of the hassle of traditional rooftop solar systems.

How is the SBAT community solar farm different than rooftop solar?

It's out of sight and out of mind! Many homes and businesses are not ideal for the installation of traditional rooftop solar for reasons including shading limitations, shared rooftop ownership, structural issues, accessibility for maintenance, and HOA limitations, to name a few. Because the SBAT community solar farm is not located on your property, any electric customer – even renters - can participate. The SBAT community solar farm is ideally sited and oriented towards the sun, ensuring optimal solar production with commercial grade equipment.

Do customers need to own a home or building to participate?

No! This is one of the many benefits of participating in the SBAT community solar farm. Anyone with an electric bill is eligible to participate, including both homeowners and renters.
