Donated solar system to aid Denver-based refugee support organization

A group of solar companies has donated a 60-kilowatt solar system to Project Worthmore, a Denver nonprofit that supports refugees in the area. The companies involved include SolarEdge Technologies, Apollo Energy, Pivot Energy, IronRidge, Greentech Renewables and Rexel. The system now powers the nonprofit's newly renovated 20,000-square-foot campus in Denver.

The donated system is expected to save Project Worthmore more than $350,000 over 20 years by eliminating most of its electricity costs. The organization plans to put those savings toward educational classes, community programs and shared spaces that serve refugee families and other local groups in the Denver area.

This story is about a corporate donation to a specific nonprofit, not a program homeowners can apply for. It does not involve any rebate, tax credit or incentive available to the general public. If you are considering solar for your own home, this is worth knowing simply as an example of how much a system that size can cut electricity costs over time, but the donation itself, and the companies who provided it, are specific to this one Denver organization.
