Local War Hero’s Sacrifice Being Honored Through Solar Power
Triple amputee veteran to save $132,226 from Sullivan Solar Power's gift
Please join us on Tuesday, March 7th at 4:30 p.m. for a very special ribbon cutting. Temecula’s war hero, Cpl. Juan Dominguez, is being honored for his sacrifices serving in the Marines by being given a free solar power system. Regionally headquartered company, Sullivan Solar Power, is donating the solar power system, which will save Cpl. Dominguez and his family $132,226 on electricity costs over the next 20 years.
While serving on an assignment in Afghanistan in October 2010, Marine Cpl. Juan Dominguez landed on a buried bomb after slipping down an embankment and lost both of his legs and his right arm in an explosion. As a triple amputee, Cpl. Dominguez now has a higher body temperature than average. This created a need to keep his home extra cool at all times, which in turn costs up to $600 every month in Edison electricity charges.
Sullivan Solar Power saw a need and offered to donate a complete solar power system to ease the financial burden of an absorbent electric bill. Cpl. Dominguez will now be able to feel comfortable in a cool home without the worry.
