SolarStrong is the SolarCity’s five-year plan to develop about $1bn in solar power projects for privatized US military housing communities across the country.
SolarCity intends to collaborate with with the privatized military housing developers to deploly, own and operate rooftop solar installations and provide solar electricity at a lower cost than utility power.
SolarStrong is expected to create about 300MW of solar generation capacity that will provide power to as many as 120,0001 military housing units.
Private equity firm US Renewables Group served as financial advisor for SolarStrong.
The SolarStrong project will allow privatized military housing developers to save money on energy costs that can be reallocated toward quality-of-life improvements and enhanced services for military families.
