The Sun's Energy for the Church

Grodono, Belarus
In October of 2016 four solar panels with a capacity of 1 kW were installed on the roof of the congregation's building. With this system running, Grodno Lutherans will receive around half of the energy that they use from the sun. A company from Minsk that installs solar panels all over Belarus was entrusted with the installation.
«The main part of the work has been done and the system can function; we'll put it to full use once we have finished the renovations in the space under it. This will probably be before the beginning of the new year. Even in poor weather energy will be made thanks to ultraviolet light. We hope that the system will pay for itself in two to three years. And in the future, if all goes well, we will expand the panels so that we won't have to pay for any additional electricity at all. This is important, insofar as just the organ alone uses a huge amount of energy,” said Pastor Vladimir Tatarnikov.
