With solar panels, Henderson synagogue reaches out to a higher power. Congregation Ner Tamid unveiled its new solar power project, expected to save over $2 million in energy costs over the next 25 years by covering about 75% of its energy needs. Of the $1.6 million project, $1.29 million was rebated from NV Energy, and the congregation raised the remaining $277,000 to cover the costs. The energy savings is equivalent to planting 33,000 trees and is in concert with the Jewish holiday dedicated to planting trees and preserving the environment.
