Unseen to people walking on the street, a series of solar panels lie on the roof of the apartments, converting the sun’s rays into clean, renewable electricity. The electricity then gets channeled into a power grid operated by Pepco (the for-profit utility serving Washington, D.C.), and the value of that electricity is split up among all 100 Maycroft residents, appearing as a credit on their electricity bill. Some downtown buildings have also agreed to donate the value of their solar power to Jubilee Housing residents. The project is supported by Jubilee Housing’s partnership with New Partners Community Solar Corp., a D.C. nonprofit, under the District’s “Solar For All” Initiative.
