Impact Story

Czajkowski Farm

At the University of Massachusetts Amherst dining hall, ranked the best university dining hall in the country, students are filling their plates with locally grown broccoli from Czajkowski Farm in Hadley, MA. This broccoli is unique — it was grown through agrivoltaics where a parcel of land is used for both generating solar photovoltaic power and growing crops.

Jake Marley manages Hyperion Systems, a Massachusetts solar developer focused on developing agrivoltaic projects. Jake and Joe Czajkowski, owner of Czajkowski Farm, worked together to find a way to maintain farmland while also reducing Joe Czajkowski’s electric bill and building sustainability. Agrivoltaics proved an effective solution and Sunwealth partnered with Hyperion to deliver it.

This is Sunwealth’s first agrivoltaic low-income community solar project, which provides discounted clean energy to 22 low-income community members, $1.2 million in lifetime energy savings, and enables the reduction of 11,887 tons of carbon emissions. This dual land use project also supports Sunwealth’s mission — to power unity with solar — proving that solar and farmland can coexist and even support each other’s success. Joe Czajkowski’s farm is a prime example of this model, which has allowed him to save money on his electricity bill to reinvest into the farm, while acting as a pioneering example to other farmers in the Pioneer Valley.

Impact Story

Congregation Beth HaTephila

Congregation Beth HaTephila has been part of Asheville, North Carolina since 1891, growing into a mid-sized Reform congregation known for its inclusive approach to Jewish life. The congregation’s current synagogue, built in 1949, now hosts a 72 kW rooftop solar system, developed in partnership with Eagle Solar and Light.

The congregation runs a robust volunteer program built around Tikkun Olam, meaning “repairing the world,” along with youth education and adult Torah study. The solar system is projected to deliver approximately $58,000 in lifetime energy savings, freeing up resources to support those programs.
