Habitat for Humanity Installs Solar Panels at Omaha Woman's Home

An Omaha woman's home has new solar panels as part of an energy-reducing pilot program by Habitat for Humanity. 

The organization has installed panels at three houses already using funding from an OPPD grant. However, this house also has a backup battery that can be used in the event of a power outage.

It's been about two weeks since the panels were installed at Vickie Conway's house. This week, the contractor did a walk-through with her, teaching her how to use the new technology and control everything from her phone.

Conway was overwhelmed with joy to have the solar panels.

"This is a blessing God gave us right here," Conway said.

The pilot program is meant to help create greener energy and help low-income people save on energy costs.
