Sharp Corp., a Japan-headquartered manufacturer of solar panels, is donating solar systems to select New Orleans homeowners.
Sharp worked with several local organizations and businesses, including the Holy Cross Neighborhood Association, Alliance for Affordable Energy, Williams Architects and the Louisiana Department of Natural Resources, to choose 10 local residents who will have a donated solar system installed on their house. According to the company, the solar systems will be installed on February 28 and March 1 by Sharp's dealers.
