Semper Solaris Highlights Semper Cares Initiative as Veterans Face Rising Home Energy Costs
Nov 14, 2026
San Diego-based Semper Solaris continues supporting veterans and military families through its Semper Cares Initiative. The program provides selected recipients with solar panels, battery storage, and energy-efficient windows while recognizing their military service and addressing practical household energy needs.
San Diego, California, United States, November 14, 2026 -- For veterans living on fixed incomes, home energy expenses can complicate household budgets. Older windows may waste conditioned air. Outages can also interrupt daily routines.
San Diego-based Semper Solaris addresses such challenges through its Semper Cares Initiative. The program provides selected veterans and military families with home energy improvements.
The initiative links the company's home improvement work with recognition of military service. Its projects focus on individual households rather than a single standard package.
Recipients have received solar panels, battery storage, and replacement windows, depending on their circumstances.
The program's next scheduled mission is Project Charlie-Charlie on Veterans Day, November 11, 2026. Semper Cares has selected retired Navy Senior Chief Petty Officer Douglas Braca for recognition.
Braca served 21 years in the Navy and became a SEAL platoon chief. His career included operations during the fall of Saigon. After retiring, he joined the San Diego Police Department.
He later worked in Iraq and Afghanistan in law enforcement advisory roles. The company has announced the recognition but has not specified an installation package on its initiative page.
Earlier this year, Project Bravo-Bravo supported Navy veteran Jason DiMartino. The Memorial Day mission provided a Tesla battery storage system for his home.
DiMartino served as an aviation structural mechanic from 1996 to 2001. Following a serious 2021 accident, he became a quadriplegic.
Battery storage can supply electricity during certain outages. Actual backup depends on system configuration and available charge.
Semper Cares also assisted Gold Star spouse Michele Linn through Project Zulu in May 2025. The company installed a solar panel system at no charge. Linn lost her Marine husband shortly after their daughter's first birthday.
She has since supported other surviving military spouses through volunteer work. Solar generation can offset purchased electricity, although savings depend on usage and local billing arrangements.
Another mission addressed a different household need. Project Alpha-Alpha, scheduled for Veterans Day 2025, honored Marine veteran Eric Rodriguez.
His home had aging windows that needed replacement. Semper Windows provided energy-efficient windows as the initiative's contribution. The project showed how the program can address building efficiency without relying solely on solar equipment.
Public nominations help Semper Solaris identify future recipients. Its website asks nominators to describe a veteran's story and provide contact information.
The next listed nomination opportunity is Project Delta-Delta, planned for Memorial Day 2027. Interested community members can submit nominations through the Semper Cares webpage. The company does not publish a guaranteed selection outcome for applicants.
For participating households, the assistance addresses practical needs alongside public recognition. The initiative's mission history also documents how recipients have served their communities after military service. Each project offers a distinct example of support tied to a home's conditions.
About the company: Semper Solaris is a San Diego-based home improvement company offering solar, battery storage, roofing, HVAC, and window services. Its Semper Cares Initiative recognizes veterans and military families through selected home improvement projects. The company publishes recipient stories and nomination information on its website.
