Semper Solaris has named Michele Linn as the latest Semper Cares recipient under Project Zulu. The company is honored to support her with a free solar panel system installation to ease financial strain and honor her family’s legacy.
El Cajon, CA, April 30, 2025 — Semper Solaris, a veteran-owned Solar Panel Installation and home improvement company, is proud to announce that Gold Star spouse Michele Linn has been named the latest recipient of their Semper Cares Initiative’s Project Zulu.
Michele’s story echoes strength and resilience. When she lost her husband, a dedicated Marine and father, just two days after their daughter’s first birthday, the grief was immediate. But the ripple effects-emotional, financial, and practical-have lingered for years. Semper Solaris is helping lighten one of those loads by installing a high-efficiency solar power system on Michele’s home, entirely FREE of charge.
The gesture is part of the company’s Project Zulu, a special branch of its Semper Cares Initiative, which focuses on giving back to military families in need. For Michele, this solar gift brings both peace of mind and financial savings at a time when it’s needed most.
Kelly Shawhan, co-founder of Semper Solaris and a former Marine Corps Captain, spoke to the deeper meaning behind these efforts: “The families who’ve sacrificed for our country often carry silent battles long after the uniforms are folded away. Our mission with the Semper Cares Initiative is to step in quietly but powerfully-to bring real, lasting support to those who’ve given so much.”
Semper Solaris, co-founded by Shawhan and construction veteran John Almond, has been quietly building a reputation not just for quality home improvement services but for giving back in ways that count. The company started out helping homeowners break free from rising utility costs through solar energy but has since expanded into roofing, HVAC, battery storage, and more-all while staying anchored to its military roots.
Reflecting further on Michele’s story, Almond added, “We don’t just want to install solar panels-we want to install hope. This isn’t charity. It’s gratitude in action.”
From its humble beginnings in San Diego over a decade ago, Semper Solaris has grown into a trusted name across the country. Their military-inspired attention to detail and customer-first approach have earned them thousands of five-star reviews and ongoing referrals.
Today, as the company continues to expand, initiatives like Semper Cares serve as a reminder that progress isn’t just measured in business growth-but in impact.
