Stellar Solar, a San Diego-based solar power installation company, today announced the launch of a new program that offers a discount on residential solar energy systems for active and retired members of the armed services in San Diego County. The news comes amid an on-going discussion in the Pentagon — and beyond – about how to best reduce the military’s dependence on fossil fuels.
As noted by Stellar Solar’s VP for Sales and Marketing, Michael Powers, the new military solar discount program is intended in part to help make solar more accessible to more people.
“The armed forces and Department of Defense have taken an aggressive approach to installing solar on military bases nationwide, which is really leading by example for their soldiers, sailors, airmen and officers, both active and retired,” Powers said. “Stellar wanted to do our part to make going solar more within reach of the sizable population of military personnel here in San Diego County. This program, combined with the Federal tax credit and California State rebate does just that.”
The program offers a discount of:
- $1,000 off a residential solar energy system up to 5 kilowatts (kW) in size;
- $1,500 off a residential solar system between 5 kW and 10 kW;
- And $2,000 off a residential solar system bigger than 10 kW
