March 2015 - DIRECTV, in partnership with SolarCity, has announced the completion of a 1 megawatt (MW) solar array, located at its Broadcast Center in Long Beach, California. The on-site solar array is expected to produce more than 1.6 million kilowatt-hours annually, which will help DIRECTV move toward its objective of reducing its carbon emissions by 40 percent by 2020. The two companies also announced their new service relationship: DIRECTV technicians are able to now offer the homeowners the opportunity to use solar electricity from SolarCity of a lower rate than their current utility rates. The customers can enjoy the benefits of clean energy with no upfront cost and predictable monthly costs for years. This new program would make solar energy more accessible and affordable to DIRECTV customers in every major market where SolarCity operates.
