Why This Matters

Faith communities hand thousands of dollars to the utility every year — money their missions could spend instead.

State Solar is an 8+ year solar company. We're running this initiative at cost — no profit — because the houses of worship in our neighborhoods have always been there for people who needed them.

A mosque in Danbury. A church in Queens. A synagogue in Hoboken. Regardless of faith, the utility bill arrives every month and takes money out of the community — money that could feed a neighbor, fund a scholarship, or simply keep the doors open an extra hour.

Solar may reduce the electricity a congregation purchases from its utility, while fixed and other charges may remain. Actual production, bill credits, operating costs, and useful life depend on the site, equipment, tariff, maintenance, and usage.

The generosity is designed to be circular. A tax-exempt organization may be able to use federal elective pay, and its tax professional should confirm eligibility and filing requirements. Any later pledge is separate and voluntary. Your gift reaches further than you think.

How It Works

Four steps from gift
to a funded solar project.

— 01

You give

Sponsor one panel or any amount — every dollar goes directly toward the system. No overhead, no margin for State Solar.

— 02

Gifts pool

Donations collect until the campaign reaches 100% of the system's cost. Once fully funded, we schedule the install.

— 03

State Solar builds

Our team designs and installs the complete system in-house — permits, equipment, installation, commissioning. One company, one relationship.

— 04

The congregation owns it

The written campaign and project documents identify ownership, any liens or obligations, warranties, maintenance, expected production, utility charges, and use of funds.

Where Your Gift Goes

Complete transparency.

This initiative exists to serve houses of worship, not to generate revenue. Here's exactly how every dollar moves.

100% to the cause

Every dollar you give covers hardware, permitting, and labor for the install. State Solar takes no profit on this initiative — we build at cost.

One company, one relationship

We handle the entire project in-house: design, permits, procurement, installation, commissioning. The congregation deals with one team, start to finish.

Your gift keeps giving

A qualifying tax-exempt owner may be eligible for elective pay under current law. Eligibility and value require professional review; participation in a future campaign would be voluntary and separately documented.

Elective-pay eligibility, percentage, timing, domestic-content treatment, filing, and availability depend on current law and project facts. Congregations and donors should consult qualified tax and legal advisors. Do not treat a contribution as tax-deductible unless the receiving entity provides written confirmation.
Current Campaign

Danbury Masjid

388 Main St · Danbury, CT 06810

Islamic Society of Western Connecticut · 388 Main St, Danbury, CT 06810

Danbury Masjid

The Islamic Society of Western Connecticut has called 388 Main St home for years — a center for prayer, community dinners, youth education, and support programs that families across the region count on. Every month, an energy bill takes money out of that building that could stay inside it. This campaign funds their rooftop solar system in full. The day we commission it, the congregation owns it outright.

Why State Solar

8+ years of industry experience.
Running this at cost.

— 01

8+ years of solar experience

Our operations team brings more than eight years of solar-industry experience to projects across NY, NJ, and CT. Each charitable campaign has its own verified scope and written terms.

— 02

Everything in-house

Our own engineers. Our own licensed crews. We design, permit, procure, install, and commission every system. One team handles it all — nothing is handed off to another company.

— 03

Licensed, insured & certified

Fully licensed and insured in NY, NJ, and CT. GAF Master Elite certified for roofing work — if a roof needs attention before panels go up, we handle that too, under one relationship.

— 04

Coverage documented

Equipment and workmanship coverage on every system. If a mounting point ever causes a roof issue, that is our responsibility — not the congregation's.

Why we do this

"The houses of worship in our communities have always been there for people who needed them — food pantries, counseling, gathering spaces in hard times. Helping reduce a congregation’s purchased electricity is one way to support its mission. We donate our expertise and run this at cost because that's the right thing to do."

The initiating entity's tax-exempt status is still being established. We will notify all donors once confirmed — well before the fund opens. PLACEHOLDER — confirm before launch
Campaign terms will state the funded scope, any congregation contribution, ownership, continuing utility charges, maintenance, insurance, taxes, and other obligations. No campaign opens until those terms and the funding target are verified in writing.
The final project documents will identify ownership and any liens or continuing obligations. Potential elective-pay treatment depends on current law and project eligibility and must be verified by the congregation’s tax advisor.
Equipment and workmanship coverage depends on the written manufacturer and contractor warranties, including exclusions, term, claim process, and whether labor or service costs are included.
Yes — use the nominate form on this page. We'll review eligibility and, when ready, open a campaign fund in that congregation's name. You don't need an account, and there's no cost to nominate.
Both are welcome. Monthly pledges help build a steady foundation for future campaigns — every recurring gift means more congregations get funded sooner. One-time gifts are equally valued.
A qualifying congregation may be able to make an elective-pay filing under current federal rules. Its tax advisor should determine eligibility and filing requirements. Any pledge to another campaign would be voluntary and documented separately.
Every house of worship is welcome — mosques, churches, synagogues, temples, meeting halls, and any other congregation-owned facility where a community gathers in faith. We serve NY, NJ, and CT.

Every panel is a small act of grace
with a 25-year ripple.

Give any amount. Every dollar goes directly to the cause — no overhead, no margin. The congregation owns their system the day we commission it.
