Project Updates

DenUM

TAC recently signed a contract with DenUM (Denver Urban Ministries) in Denver to install a 10kW solar electric PV system and engineering is underway. This PV installation will save DenUM more than $60,000!  

 

DenUM's programs serve financially disadvantaged families by giving them support when they are in crisis, helping them stay in school, keep their jobs, and feed their families with limited resources.  More about DenUM
