Church in Guam installs solar panels on roof

Friday, November 1st, 2013

188 solar panels are to be installed on the roof of St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church at Yona, in Guam.

They will supply about 65% of the church’s electricity needs.

This will be the second solar panel array installed on a church owned building at the Yona.

Last December, St. Francis Catholic School turned on a 100- KW system (more than twice the size of the parish system).

Last May solar panels were installed atop the archbishop’s house and Chancery offices.
