Solar Maintenance Fund Drive Update: New inverter installed, still accepting donations

By Molly O'Donnell

On December 4th, the replacement inverter for half of the Sanctuary and Fellowship Hall solar arrays was installed, bringing that system up to full production! Donations to the Solar Maintenance fund raised $3,000, which covered this purchase. We wish to thank all of the donors who contributed to this fund, especially at a time of year when many are already stretched thin, financially.

The less good news is that funds raised to purchase the inverter did not cover the cost of its installation. Nor will the funds cover the cost to repair over 1/3 of the panels on the roof over the Religious Education wing that are still not transmitting electricity. We therefore decided to keep the fund drive open for contributions. The link to contribute online is uubloomington.org/solarfund. You can also write a check with the memo “Solar Maintenance" or donate cash in clearly marked envelopes added to the Sunday plate or taken to the church office. Thank you!
