Clean Energy Resources for Food Shelves

SAVE ENERGY, SUPPORT
COMMUNITY

Energy efficiency and solar projects are great ways to save money on energy bills, improve facilities, and provide a healthier and more inviting environment to shoppers.

CERTs offers free resources and custom project assistance so your food shelf can save money on energy use and better support your community.

Energy Efficiency + Renewable Energy Projects

CERTs staff can help identify energy saving projects and navigate opportunities to make them happen.

The first step is often getting an energy assessment or a solar site assessment. CERTs can help you find relevant grants, rebates, loans, and other funding sources, as well as help you navigate the application process.
