Community Nonprofit Success Stories

At Resonant Energy, we believe that people of all incomes should have access to the benefits of solar power. One way we can do this is by helping community organizations go solar.

Beverly Bootstraps | Beverly, MA

Located just around the corner from the Beverly Depot commuter rail stop is the Beverly Bootstraps Thrift Shop, home to a new 44 kW solar system. Beverly Bootstraps provides critical resources, including food and education assistance, to North Shore families and individuals. This project will reduce the nonprofit’s energy costs, saving $230,000 over the lifetime of the system and allowing Bootstraps to devote more resources to their community.

The Epiphany School | Dorchester, MA

Steps away from the Shawmut Stop, there’s a school deeply committed to the success of the students in the community, helping them thrive through small classes, individualized curricula and financial aid for every student. Epiphany School is a unique learning environment in which students are encouraged to challenge themselves and their peers to fully explore their interests and talents. In the summer of 2017, the Epiphany School welcomed a new building dedicated to expanding services for the students.

While the students are working hard inside the building on research and problem solving, the solar system on the roof is hard at work producing electricity to keep the computers running and the lights on. In 2018, with the help of Resonant Energy, the Epiphany School made a choice to reduce their carbon footprint and lower their utility bill by adding solar to the roof of their new facility. Reverend Edwin Johnson of Saint Mary’s Episcopal in Dorchester blessed the panels while students and parents of the community came together to celebrate this act of environmental stewardship.
