The San Fernando Community Health Center (SFCHC) solar project was made possible by close partnership with Collective Energy, SFCHC, and the City of San Fernando, which owns the building that houses the clinic and provided swift approval for work to commence.
The 247-panel solar installation supports SFCHC’s mission to provide comprehensive, compassionate healthcare to the most vulnerable and underserved, while reducing pollution and promoting sustainable practices. SFCHC serves over 7,000 patients annually and offers services including primary care, dental, women’s health, behavioral health, wellness education, and pediatric care.
The $298,000 solar installation was financed by Collective Energy through an Energy Service Agreement (ESA). Collective Energy installed, maintains, and operates the solar PV system with no upfront cost to the site, and in return, SFCHC will make monthly payments based on the energy production at a set kWh rate.
