Boulder Jewish Community Center (BJCC)

The Boulder Jewish Community Center (BJCC) has completed this major rooftop solar installation at its LEED-certified campus in Boulder, CO. This project significantly advances the organization’s long-standing commitment to sustainability. This 306-kW solar project, made up of 614 panels, expanded on an existing 67 kW rooftop array, together supplying approximately 80% of BJCC’s annual electricity needs.

This solar milestone was made possible by a collaborative funding effort. A $523,143 grant from the City of Boulder’s Community Culture, Resilience, and Safety Tax Program set the project in motion. Additional support came from Boulder County’s PACE program, Xcel Energy’s Solar Rewards, a loan from the Adamah Climate Action Fund, and gifts from dedicated community donors. By leveraging these partners alongside anticipated federal IRA incentives, the project’s cost was largely covered, reducing financial barriers for the nonprofit.
