Our Commitment to Sustainability

Wheelhouse Credit Union takes great pride in being the #1 Solar Financing Lender in San Diego and proudly works with over 100 installers to help homeowners significantly reduce their electric bill, increase the value of their home and help the environment.

As conscientious San Diegans ourselves, we know that together we can significantly reduce our carbon footprint, lessen greenhouse gases and decrease our dependence on fossil fuel. We also know that renewable energy improves public health and can create job opportunities within the U.S.

Strengthen financial self‑sufficiency of San Diegans by assisting with their ability to harness solar energy through fair, flexible financing options.

Support organizations in San Diego that are reducing climate change impact and improving the environment we live in.

Reduce our foot‑print by utilizing solar energy, recycling office e-waste, installing energy-efficient LED fixtures, and committing to less paper consumption when conducting transactions.
