Nissan North America Inc. and SunPower Corp. have entered into a partnership intended to help Nissan LEAF electric-vehicle (EV) owners learn how a residential solar power system from SunPower can reduce their carbon emissions and control the cost of charging their EVs.
The two companies plan to offer new online content, including a video tutorial that describes how solar power systems work for use in the home and for charging Evs. Visitors to the site will be able to request a free home solar assessment from a local SunPower dealer.
‘Nissan LEAF owners are conscientious about their energy use, and it makes sense for them to understand how they can offset the power that their all-electric LEAF requires with clean, renewable solar power generated from their own rooftop,’ says Brendan Jones, director of Nissan LEAF marketing and sales strategy.
