SAN JOSE, Calif., May 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- In honor of Memorial Day, SunPower (NASDAQ:SPWR) is now offering an ongoing exclusive $1,000 home solar VISA Reward Card Rebate¹ for veterans and active duty military.
This exclusive offer for current and former members of all branches of the U.S. military is a way to serve those who've dedicated their lives to serving our country. The veteran solar program also supports SunPower's commitment to change the way our world is powered by making solar more affordable and accessible for everyone.
By going solar with SunPower, homeowners get access to the most powerful and efficient solar panels available, all backed by the industry's most comprehensive 25-year warranty. And by making the switch to solar in 2020, veterans and active military homeowners can reduce or even eliminate their monthly electric bill and may also qualify for the 26 percent federal tax credit on solar purchases.
Supporting Our Military
SunPower is honored to continue supporting the United States Military. The company has a long history of working with government and armed services throughout the years. Through its commercial solar business, SunPower installed a 28-megawatt solar system at Vandenberg Airforce Base in 2017, and a 10-megawatt solar and storage solution at the U.S. Army's Redstone Arsenal in 2018, to name a couple. The veteran rebate program is a way to continue the company's longstanding military support by extending an exclusive offer through its industry-leading residential business.
