Solar Energy Project

Solar Energy Project

In 2021, we installed solar panels on our office
building in downtown Hazard.

Solar Story H.O.M.E.S. Inc. installed solar panels on the Foundation June 15
We are committed to creating thriving and sustainable communities the region.

The panels are not only saving the Foundation money, but they also generate revenue from the energy produced while helping to build a resilient future in the mountains. The installation was made possible by financing from the Mountain Association in Berea  and labor provided by H.O.M.E.S., Inc. in Whitesburg, KY. If you’d like to learn more about solar for your business, contact the Mountain Association.

In 2026, we doubled the project.
