Plankton Energy Partners with Faith Community Church to Deliver Community Solar in Hopkinton, MA
Plankton Energy, a New York-based solar energy developer, has partnered with Faith Community Church to install a 701-kilowatt parking canopy solar system on the church’s property in Hopkinton, Massachusetts. The system, comprising 1,460 solar modules, is expected to generate over 810,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity annually.
Designed as a community solar project, the system will provide clean energy to households across the region, enabling participating residents to lower their utility bills while supporting local renewable energy infrastructure. By hosting the project, Faith Community Church receives site lease payments and extends the benefits of solar power beyond its property to the broader Hopkinton community. The project was supported by Massachusetts’ SMART (Solar Massachusetts Renewable Target), solar incentive program, which provides financial incentives aimed at accelerating the deployment of clean energy across the state.
Plankton Energy is a turnkey solar energy developer committed to serving schools, houses of worship, and small businesses across the United States. The firm supports community institutions like Faith Community Church in advancing sustainability goals while achieving significant utility savings through customized solar solutions.
Faith Community Church, a nondenominational congregation with campuses in Hopkinton and Framingham, recently celebrated 300 years of ministry. The church continues to lead by example in its service to the community through both spiritual and environmental stewardship.
