A coalition of solar industry companies has donated and installed a 60-kilowatt solar energy system for Project Worthmore, a Denver-based nonprofit organization that provides comprehensive support services to refugees resettling in the Denver metropolitan area. The newly completed installation is projected to save the organization more than $350,000 in electricity costs over the next 20 years.

The donated system will supply power to Project Worthmore's newly renovated 20,000-square-foot Denver campus. According to the organization, the installation is expected to eliminate the majority of its monthly electricity expenses, freeing up funds that will be redirected toward educational classes, community programs, and shared spaces designed to serve refugee families and local partner organizations across the Denver metro region.

"This solar installation will allow Project Worthmore to redirect thousands of dollars every month into programs that directly support the families we serve," said Frank Anello, Executive Director of Project Worthmore. "We're incredibly grateful to the companies that came together to make this project possible and help ensure our new campus can serve the community for years to come."

The system was made possible through contributions from multiple solar companies. SolarEdge Technologies provided power optimization and inverter technology, while Apollo Energy, Pivot Energy, IronRidge, Greentech Renewables, and Rexel supplied additional equipment, design expertise, and installation support.

"Projects like this show what's possible when companies across the solar industry work together to support their communities," said Chuck Ellis, Vice President of Commercial and Industrial Sales at SolarEdge. "By helping organizations like Project Worthmore reduce operating costs, solar energy can free up critical resources for the programs and services that matter most."

Donated solar installations have become an established practice within the U.S. solar industry, where manufacturers, installers, and distributors collaborate on pro bono projects to reduce long-term operating costs for nonprofits that often operate on tight budgets. For organizations like Project Worthmore, the savings translate directly into expanded program capacity rather than covering utility expenses.

SolarEdge Technologies, headquartered in Herzliya, Israel, is a publicly traded company listed on the Nasdaq stock exchange under the ticker symbol SEDG and is one of the leading global providers of solar inverters and power optimizers. Pivot Energy, based in Denver, develops distributed solar projects and community solar gardens across the United States.

Project Worthmore was founded to offer services including dental care, English language classes, agricultural training, and community navigation support to refugees in the Denver area. The organization's renovated campus serves as a central hub for these programs.
