SunPower Corporation (Nasdaq: SPWR) a Silicon Valley-based manufacturer of the world’s highest efficiency, commercially available solar cells and solar panels, today announced that a team of SunPower volunteers will spend the day finalizing two of Habitat for Humanity’s homes located on Murphy Avenue in San Jose. The volunteers will assist with painting and landscaping, readying the home for their new occupants. SunPower has experienced significant growth since its move to San Jose earlier this year and now it’s time to step into a leadership role and give back to the community,” said Tom Werner, CEO of SunPower Corporation. “With housing prices continuing to sky-rocket, it’s very rewarding to help these families realize their dream of owing their own home. We are proud to support Habitat for Humanity and to volunteer our time.”
Werner will join his colleagues who will donate their time today to put the finishing touches on two of five homes recently built by Silicon Valley Habitat for Humanity on Murphy Avenue. This project is the largest group of houses completed to date by the Silicon Valley Habitat for Humanity. Partner families have been chosen to occupy these residences and have completed in excess of 500 hours each in building these homes.
