An Indian-owned firm is bringing solar power to 50 remote homes on the Navajo Nation.

Sacred Power Inc. of New Mexico is using a $825,000 grant from the Department of Agriculture to install the equipment at the homes in the Torren and Ojo Encino area. The first three units were installed last month and the rest will be in place by the end of April.

Sacred Power is seeking more federal funding to expand its efforts. The firm is also bringing telephone service to the Navajo Nation.
