In order to create a more sustainable future for U.S. homeowners, SunPower and Surfrider Foundation partnered to help their residential customers reduce carbon footprints with solar power. Qualified Surfrider customers will receive rebate from SunPower when purchase or loan high efficiency solar systems, and SunPower will also donate to Surfrider Foundation for every installation.

As part of the program, eligible Surfrider Foundation members and supporters can receive a $500 mail-in rebate on the purchase or lease of a high efficiency residential solar energy system from SunPower. Along with the rebate, SunPower will donate $1,000 to the Surfrider Foundation for each system installed. Furthermore, SunPower will deliver high efficiency solar panels that generate 70% more energy from the same space during the first 25 years as compared to conventional solar panels. Customers will be able to enjoy greater benefits from their own solar power systems.

"We are excited to offer our members an easy, affordable way to save on their energy bills with solar through this partnership with SunPower," said Chad Nelsen, Surfrider Foundation CEO. "There is a direct connection between our energy use and the health of our ocean, so using the sun's renewable energy just makes sense."

Tom Werner, SunPower president and CEO, committed supporting Surfrider Foundations’ environmental initiatives in the future with their expertise and experience in generation solar electricity.
