Temple Emunah, located at 9 Piper Road in Lexington, proudly houses the largest solar installation of any synagogue in Massachusetts, and one of the Top 5 largest among all houses of worship. Yet the cost to Temple Emunah was $0, and the canopies have reduced the temple’s electricity costs and impact on the environment significantly.
