Military veterans possess exceptional leadership, discipline, technical adaptability, and experience operating under demanding field conditions. These qualities make veterans natural leaders in the clean energy industry, which requires rigorous logistics, electrical expertise, and safety protocols.

ReJews supports veterans in navigating the civilian clean energy transition. We help service members map military occupational specialties (MOS) to renewable energy trades, understand GI Bill apprenticeship guidelines, and connect with industry opportunities.

Clean Energy for Veteran Households

Reducing home energy overhead through verified solar agreements.

For Eligible Homeowners

For eligible homeowners, ReJews provides access to a solar pathway with no installation payment and no loan. Savings begin from the first day the system is activated under the applicable program agreement. Eligibility depends on the property, roof condition and sun exposure, utility territory, program availability, and agreement terms. Where supported by the applicable agreement, eligible homeowners receive guaranteed savings beginning when the system is activated.

Standard Proposition: No installation payment, no loan, and savings begin from the first day of activation under the applicable program agreement.

For Renters & Apartment Residents

Where available, renters may be able to subscribe to a community solar project and receive credits associated with an off-site solar installation. No equipment is installed at the renter's home. Availability, enrollment requirements, billing format, savings, fees, cancellation terms, and credit requirements vary by utility territory and project.

Conditional Availability: Community solar depends on utility service territory, subscriber terms, and regional project capacity.

Community Solar Specifics

Veteran renters can look into community solar subscriptions where available to receive credits on monthly electric bills without equipment installation.
