Where We Serve
We're expanding our network to serve more faith communities with personalized local expertise.
Most churches are overpaying for energy, and it's costing more than money.
- Utility bills climb while ministry budgets shrink.
- Outdated buildings bleed resources.
- Staff time is wasted managing facilities instead of shepherding people.
- Ministry momentum stalls when funds are tied up in overhead.
- Congregations question stewardship when dollars disappear into bills.
- Every month of delay compounds the loss; thousands wasted that can never be recovered.
The average U.S. church spends $10,000–$100,000 per year on energy. That's money that could be redeployed to missions, staff, and outreach.
This isn't just about saving money. It's about multiplying Kingdom impact.

The Lie vs. The Truth
Breaking free from the myths that keep churches bound to high energy costs
"High energy costs are just part of ministry"
For years, churches have been told that high energy costs are just "part of the price of ministry." That utility bills are untouchable.
But that's not the whole story.
Every wasted dollar is a missed disciple.
Every bloated bill is an opportunity cost for the Gospel.
God calls us to steward every resource
"The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance." - Proverbs 21:5
This is the shift:
- From fixed expense → to redeemed resource
- From tolerating waste → to multiplying impact
- From overhead → to overflow
The Church doesn't exist to fund the grid.
It exists to fund the Great Commission.
Where the Savings Come From
This money doesn't come from your tithes or budget; it's money that is already on the table.

The Hard Truth We Can't Ignore
Living costs are climbing. Families are feeling the squeeze, and so are churches.
- •Household debt is rising fast. U.S. household debt just hit $18.39 trillion.
- •Credit card stress is surging. Over 12% of balances are now seriously delinquent.
- •Student loan delinquencies have jumped past 10%.
These aren't just numbers.
They're the people in your congregation.

What Churches Are Saying
Real results from church leaders who chose Nerd Power
Pastor Michael
Faith Community Church
"We saw savings on the very first utility bill. Those dollars are now covering our community-meal budget and expanding our outreach programs."
Linda Rodriguez
River Oaks Fellowship
"Because it's a PPA, we didn't have to start a capital campaign or take on debt. It was the simplest financial decision we've made."
Pastor David Johnson
Grace Baptist Church
"The immediate savings allowed us to fund three new ministry programs this year. Solar has been a blessing to our church family."
Why This Matters for Churches
When overhead rises and giving slows, the mission suffers.
- •Staff salaries are stretched.
- •Outreach gets postponed.
- •Missions are underfunded.
- •Building maintenance is delayed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about church solar solutions
To qualify for the 30% federal solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC), churches must register by March 15, 2026* AND reach at least 5% construction completion by July 4, 2026*. After July 4, 2026*, the credit is completely gone—dropping to 0%. For the average church, this means losing $50,000-$150,000+ in federal incentives. Additionally, state and utility incentives are first-come, first-served with limited funding pools depleting rapidly. The typical solar project takes 6-9 months from registration to reach 5% completion. Churches must start NOW to secure these benefits before the deadline passes and they are lost forever.
Yes. All panels, labor, permits, and inspections are covered by Nerd Power.
We do — at no charge for the life of the agreement.
The PPA can transfer with the property or be renegotiated to include additional solar capacity.
Under a PPA, the provider claims available incentives and passes the savings to you through lower energy rates.
Most installations are completed within 60-90 days, depending on permitting and utility approval timelines.
You can extend the agreement, purchase the system at fair market value, or have it removed at no cost to you.
No. Our certified installers use industry-standard mounting systems that protect your roof and often extend its life by shielding it from weather.
Excess power is fed back to the grid through net metering, often earning credits that offset future usage during cloudy periods.
Most churches will need board approval for a long-term PPA. We provide presentation materials and financial projections to help you present the opportunity to your leadership team. Our team can also join your board meeting to answer questions directly.
Your congregation gives faithfully. We help you steward more effectively.
