SED develops community-scale solar and wind projects, ranging from large commercial installations that power towns and businesses with cost-effective renewable energy to smaller residential projects that generate clean electricity for your home.  SED installs projects throughout the Northeastern United States, with a specific focus on our local community in The Greater Rochester Area.  As part of our ongoing efforts to spread the benefits of solar and wind in our own backyards, SED is donating 5kW of solar equipment to a local nonprofit that can use the free electricity to focus their hard raised funding on their missions rather than their energy bills. 

Here's a link to a story on SED announcing ROC the SUN - http://www.rochesterhomepage.net/story/d/story/company-giving-away-solar-project-to-nonprofit/37705/pWq0rwrtSk2QyqIdugWrRA

SED selected Providence Housing Development Corporation (Providence Housing) as the recipient of the first ROC the SUN Solar Giveaway. Since 1994, Providence Housing has created more than 900 units of affordable housing in the Rochester area for seniors, individuals with special needs, and families. Providence Housing's mission is to strengthen families and communities by creating and providing access to quality affordable housing enriched by the availability of supportive services. Providence Housing develops, finances, and manages affordable housing in affiliation with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Rochester, NY. 

SED’s goal is to aid non-profit organizations by providing them with their own renewable energy generators.  These projects supply long term benefits and remove a significant operating cost so that the nonprofits can focus their funds on their noble, community supporting missions.  Crowdfunding renewable energy projects for local nonprofits is a tremendous opportunity to support the local institutions that are working to rebuild and support our communities.

SED has committed to donating the solar panels, design and installation labor for this project.  However, there are remaining funds that need to be raised in order to complete the project, totaling $3,500.  These additional funds are needed to pay for the electrical balance of system, racking, permit fees, and an inverter. 

The solar project will be installed at Providence Housing's Son House Apartments located at 539 Joseph Avenue in the City Rochester, NY. Son House provides 21 affordable one-bedroom apartments of permanent supportive housing for homeless individuals and helps people achieve stability through housing and case management services.
