BOULDER — The Boulder Jewish Community Center has completed a rooftop solar installation expected to offset about 80% of its electricity use and generate nearly $1.8 million in lifetime savings, according to project partners.
The 306-kilowatt system, completed in late 2025 in partnership with Namaste Solar, includes 614 panels and expands an existing 67-kilowatt array at the center’s campus on Oreg Avenue.
Project funding included a $523,143 grant from the city of Boulder’s Community Culture, Resilience and Safety Tax program, along with support from Boulder County‘s PACE program, Xcel Energy Solar Rewards, a loan from the Adamah Climate Action Fund and private donations. Federal incentives also helped offset costs.
The project is expected to generate about $1.424 million in utility savings over 30 years and about $374,000 in renewable energy credit revenue over 20 years.
“Sustainability is woven into the fabric of the Boulder JCC,” said Executive Director Jonathan Lev. “This solar project allows us to lead by example while ensuring that our operational savings go directly toward our programming.”
The installation also supported local employment, with 31 Namaste Solar workers contributing to the project, including engineers, designers and installers.
The Boulder JCC campus includes a LEED-certified main building and a net-zero farm that generates all its energy on-site. The organization has signed a five-year operations and maintenance agreement with Namaste Solar to support long-term system performance.
