For nearly 100 years, National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA) has worked to protect and preserve America’s most iconic and inspirational places for present and future generations. Through a new program with SunPower, NPCA will provide opportunities for its members and supporters to go solar, thereby helping to reduce carbon emissions and improve air quality.
To launch the program, SunPower will make an initial minimum donation of USD 10,000 to NPCA. Now through July 11, 2019, each NPCA member or supporter that has a SunPower home solar system installed through this program will be eligible to receive a USD 500 mail-in rebate and SunPower will provide a donation of USD 500 to NPCA.
“The health of our national parks is directly linked to the health of the air, waterways and communities that surround them,” said Theresa Pierno, president and CEO for NPCA. “Through this program, our members and supporters have the opportunity to invest in the long-term health of our planet, supporting sustainable energy and our ongoing work to ensure our national parks have clean air and adequate funding.”
SunPower’s direct current E-Series solar panels, as well as its X-Series solar panels, are Cradle to Cradle Certified Silver – making it easy for homeowners to save energy, while minimising waste and helping to improve air quality, all of which have a positive impact on issues threatening our national parks. SunPower is the first solar panel manufacturer in the world to achieve this designation, which demonstrates a product’s quality based on rankings in five categories: material health, material reutilization, renewable energy use, water stewardship, and social fairness.
NPCA members and supporters interested in the program will work with a SunPower dealer to determine if solar is a good fit for their home, as well as explore a variety of financing options which may include cash purchase, loan, or lease.
