The air force isn’t the only arm of the military Elon Musk wants to disrupt. Working with SolarCity, the navy is now getting in on the action through its Lincoln Military Housing, putting itself down for solar panels to energize 6,000 homes in the San Diego area. According to Solarlove, the deal could save Lincoln $60 million over the 20-year contract.
Ultimately, SolarCity wants to grace the rooftops of as many as 120,000 military homes. According to our math that could mean a savings of over $1 billion when fully implemented, which is, maybe even in the eyes of the Department of Defense, a lot of money.
