Solar Energy Generates Cash for Dorcas Ministries Dorcas Ministries, a Cary-based non-profit, will install 845 solar panels on 50,000 square feet of unused rooftop space. The installation will be the largest non-profit solar energy system in Wake County and one of the largest non-profit installations in the state of North Carolina. Under an innovative solar financing model, Argand Energy will own and operate the system and Dorcas Ministries will be ready to use the solar-generated energy with no out-of-pocket expenses. Energy from the system will be sold to Progress Energy. Once operating, the system will produce 236. 5 kilowatts of energy, enough juice to power approximately 28 small homes each year. Construction on the project is slated to begin there and then. |
