The US military has ambitious plans—$7 billion worth—to install
renewable energy at bases and other facilities across the nation. American
taxpayers, of course, are footing the bill. But now they can choose to put
their money into a military solar project and make a return, thanks to the
crowdfunding craze. Mosaic, a California startup that
earlier this year began letting ordinary investors put
in as little as $25 to help finance commercial
rooftop photovoltaic arrays, today announced its first military-related
project, a 12.3-megawatt (MW) installation that will put
55,189 solar panels on housing at Joint Base
McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in New Jersey. The panels will be installed on 547
homes and are expected to supply 30% of their electricity demand.
