Everybody Solar to install 27.8-kW array for West Virginia homeless center
Covenant House of West Virginia has partnered with Everybody Solar to harness solar power to bring clean, renewable energy to its facility. The planned 27.8-kW solar array will offset 35% of Covenant House’s annual electricity expenses.
This project marks Everybody Solar’s first venture into the state of West Virginia, a region historically dependent on coal. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), in 2022, coal-fired electric power plants accounted for 89% of West Virginia’s total electricity net generation, making its grid the most carbon-heavy of all states in the U.S. This project is a crucial step towards diversifying the state’s energy sources and reducing its carbon footprint.
