American Solar Direct chips in for vets

American Solar Direct, a Los Angeles-based solar provider in California, is installing free solar energy systems in homes built by Homes for Our Troops in a new partnership with the organization.

“From the moment our employees first heard about the chance to give back to one of our most critically injured veterans, we quickly realized this was a program that must be expanded to others in the same situation,” said Brennan Mulcahy, ASD’s CEO. “These veterans paid dearly to defend the United States of America. We are proud to embark upon this partnership with Homes for Our Troops to supply free solar systems to our wounded warriors.”

The company credits the move to an employee-inspired donation it made last summer to install a solar energy system at a veteran's home in El Cajon, which was built by HFOT.

“Homes for Our Troops is fortunate to have the support of patriotic businesses like American Solar Direct to help us in our mission of building specially adapted homes for our nation’s Veterans,” says Major General (USA, Retired) Timothy P. McHale, president/CEO of Homes for Our Troops. “Having partnerships like this is crucial in allowing us to return the gift of freedom and independence that these Heroes fought so bravely to protect.”
