The Ismaili Muslim community in Texas is the largest Ismaili Muslim community in the United States, and has recently completed an important solar energy project. The Ismaili synagogue in San Antonio has become the first dedicated synagogue in the United States to use solar energy. This project is in line with the goal of the Aga Khan Development Network, which is to achieve net zero carbon emissions for all its global institutions and agencies by 2030.

The device is completed by Big Sun Solar and is a 145 kW rooftop solar system expected to generate approximately 206289 kWh of electricity annually. This can not only reduce Jamatkhana's carbon footprint, but also strengthen the community's commitment to climate action.

The adoption of renewable energy by the Ismaili Muslim community in San Antonio reflects our deeply ingrained values of caring for God's creations and demonstrating a sense of social responsibility, "said Farah Lalani of the Ismaili Council in the southwestern United States. This event is very unique because it showcases the intersection of faith, community, and sustainability, consistent with Aga Khan Development Company's goal of achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2030

Robert Miggins, CEO of Big Sun Solar, said, "We are honored to collaborate with Ismaili Jamatkhana on this groundbreaking project. This is fully in line with our mission to promote the large-scale application of solar energy by making it affordable, accessible, and accessible to everyone
