One roof, one family, one array.

Sponsorships are assigned by build date, so a commitment made now lands on a specific roof with a specific family.

$200 buys one panel

$12,500 covers a whole system

$500,000 starts a state program

Where a donation goes

Your donation helps a hardworking Habitat family get solar on their home, which makes that home more affordable and protects them from rising energy prices. The affiliate has already built the house, so a donation does not pay for that. It closes the one gap that stops an array going on: the difference between a build budget and the cost of the panels.

Donate

$200: Buys one solar panel. Twelve to fourteen of them make a system.
$12,500: Covers a complete system for one home, about 5 kW, saving that family about $84 a month at 2026 rates.
$500,000: Starts a statewide solar program, which is how a state goes from no solar on Habitat homes to a standing pipeline of them.

The saving shows up on the power bill. Nothing is added to the mortgage, and the array's output serves the household for the life of the panels.

Where the program stands, and how far it can go

218 homes with solar installed or contracted 10,000 Habitat homes

homes with solar installed or contracted about 750 more pre-screened and waiting on funding

About 750 more homes have already been pre-screened for solar and are waiting on funding. That number is an estimate, not a final count. Habitat affiliates build more homes every year, and roughly half of those builds may qualify for solar. Homes already standing count too: solar can go on an eligible home up to five years after it is built. Ten thousand is an ambitious goal, and this is the arithmetic that reaches it.
