Habit for Humanity Goes Solar In Bullhead City, Arizona

DJH Construction, Inc., a leading integrator of solar electric power systems has been selected to install a 3.78 kW photovoltaic solar system on a Habitat for Humanity project in Bullhead City, Arizona. The solar project is a result of the alliance between Habitat for Humanity, Mojave Electric Cooperative and DJH Construction, Inc. The project is a first for the Habitat for Humanity chapter in Bullhead City. Habitat for Humanity is a Christian organization that builds homes for the underprivileged and is dedicated to eliminating substandard housing and homelessness worldwide.

“We are honored to be chosen to participate in a project that allows us to contribute philanthropically through clean power generation. This project presents a unique opportunity to get solar into a sector that normally would not have the ability to purchase it,” said Don Harris, President of DJH Construction, Inc. “We look forward to participating in more solar projects with Habitat for Humanity and the larger non-profit sector.”

DJH Construction, Inc. Completes a 2.99 kW Residential Photovoltaic System in Fort Mojave, Arizona.

DJH Construction, Inc., a leading integrator of solar electric power systems announced the completion of a residential photovoltaic installation located in Fort Mojave, Arizona. The 2.99 kW system was installed on the residence of Scott and Elaine Seabury and is expected to reduce more than 86 tons of CO2 over its 25+ year lifetime. The reduction in green house emissions is equivalent to traveling 177,526 air miles or driving 291,864 miles in a small car. "Our decision to go solar reflects the value we place on green technology and environmental stewardship,” said Scott Seabury.

DJH Construction, Inc. financed a portion of the system for the Seabury’s utilizing the 30% Renewable Energy Grant available through the Department of the Treasury. The federal grant program is part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 that was enacted in February 2009. The grant is equal to 30% of the basis of the property for solar energy. Eligible solar-energy property includes equipment that uses solar energy to generate electricity, to heat or cool (or provide hot water for use in) a structure, or to provide solar process heat.

DJH Construction, Inc’s solar financing program allows residents to reduce their total out of pocket costs to go solar and take advantage of lower annual electricity costs by supplementing their current energy usage with solar. "We have a great deal of experience as a solar systems integrator and that experience is one of our key competitive advantages," said Don Harris, President of DJH Construction, Inc. "By making the 30% grant immediately available to our clients it enables us to give our clients more flexibility in their financing options to go solar."
