Several church organizations around the world are making the move to solar.

How will the Vatican's new energy system work?

According to the Vatican’s press office, the installation will apply the most advanced solutions currently available, balancing clean energy generation with the preservation of agricultural use, the region’s hydrogeological stability, and the protection of its cultural and archaeological heritage (ZENIT News / Rome, 08.01.2025).-

What did Pope Francis say about solar power?

“Fratello sole” or “Brother Sun” was Pope Francis’ Apostolic Letter that detailed how solar power is an invitation for people around the world to make lifestyle changes to counter global warming and the “pervasive” use of fossil fuels.

Where are solar panels located in Rome?

Sometimes the solar arrays are situated on top of greenhouses, interwoven among crops, or elevated plants. Where is the Vatican’s solar installation located? The agrivoltaic plant is situated on the Holy See’s property at Santa Maria di Galeria on the outskirts of Rome.
