Georgia Church Becomes Resilience Hub with Solar and Battery Storage Integration

New Bethel AME Church in Georgia has installed a 70.11-kW solar system and a 41-kWh battery storage system, transforming it into a resilience hub. This initiative, supported by Hive Fund, Black Voters Matter, and Georgia BRIGHT, allows the church to generate and store enough electricity to save approximately $15,000 annually on utility bills. The integration of battery storage with solar power not only reduces costs but also enhances resilience for the church and the surrounding community. The church plans to add EV chargers, further increasing its energy independence and ability to serve as a community resource during power outages.
