Personal Interview with Josephine Posa, Regional Sales Manager

How does helping our veterans and environment make you feel?

We all personally know a Veteran and regardless of the era in which they served, whether in peace time or war. These are the men and woman who keep us, our loved ones, and our country safe, we are grateful for the opportunity to give back to these heros. Managing our environment is about paying it forward. We have used the riches and resources that the earth has provided, we must take the responsibility and make the provisions to ensure future generations can do the same, adopting a solar panel allows us to contribute to helping our Veterans and preserving the environment.

What about the Adopt-a-Solar-Panel Program did you find the most interesting?


Adopting a Solar Panel serves two causes, it provides employment to our Veterans and the Panel offers a sustainable green form of energy for 25 years and with the dashboard, we can access and track how and what positive energy our Panel is adding to the environment.

Trident University Honors Veterans through Solar Panel Adoption Marketing Program

Cypress, CA – (April 14, 2014) Trident University International, a 100% online university of choice for veterans and civilians alike, has recently become the nation’s first educational institution to join the SolarCure “Adopt-a-Solar Panel” Marketing Program.

As part of this cause marketing program, Trident will sponsor a portion of a solar panel and its’ associated all-inclusive costs that will be installed as part of a complete solar array on the roof of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 6061. This solar panel installation will provide the VFW with extra income through Solar Renewable Energy Credit and generate free and clean energy for at least 25 years. The reduced electricity bills will allow the VFW to allocate more funds towards their organization’s mission. Once installation is completed, web based monitoring software will provide a constant feed of the multiple environmental benefits this project provides.

This innovative program benefits multiple beneficiaries: the environment, our economy, and military veterans.

Thomas Katsahnias, National Director of University Partnerships & Veteran Affairs, and Former US Army logistics officer and Iraq War Veteran, stated “Partnering with SolarCure allows us to give back to the veteran community in a unique and innovative way, while also benefiting the environment.   This is something that excites us, as a portion of our current student and alumni population is made up of veterans. It’s important to help the environment, and although it’s not a value that is outwardly and publicly defined by the University, its protection is important to all of our lives.”

Trident University also supports many charities and community efforts such as the Philippines Typhoon relief effort and Toys for Tots. Their second annual participation in the “Race on the Base” event allowed Trident to continue its support of the Armed Forces while promoting a healthy lifestyle.
