Buckhorn Children and Family Services Center Rogers Lodge Rehabilitation Center is a 12 bedroom inpatient rehabilitation facility for adult women in Perry County, Kentucky, taking a significant step towards environmental sustainability by doubling the size of its solar panels. After adding a new 26.9 kW array, the total power of the system is now 47.4 kW.

This expansion is achieved through a collaboration between Everyone Solar, HOMES, and the Mountain Association, which will generate an additional 36724 kilowatt hours of clean electricity annually, resulting in a significant impact on the environment. The initial project was led by Everyone Solar a few years ago and was initially allowed to use larger sizes. With Buckhorn receiving initial funding, Everyone Solar has provided crucial support in narrowing the financial gap, making this expansion a reality.

The funds saved from expanding solar installations will be strategically reinvested in the basic services and projects of Rogers Lodge. These saved costs will support various impactful outcomes, including maintaining daily operations and providing key resources for participants in recovery plans, such as transportation for outdoor activities, interview preparation, life skills training, professional development, and mental health support.

Billy Smith, CEO of Buckhorn Children&Family Services, which operates Rogers Cottage, said, "Our partnership with Everyday Solar is fully aligned with our mission of providing healing and hope shelters." "Doubling solar power capacity not only reduces our environmental footprint, but also allows us to reinvest the saved funds into improving the lives of the people we serve
