California's Cap & Trade investments hitting GRID rooftops
Legislators, administration officials and community groups gathered at a live GRID solar installation in Sacramento to highlight the state’s partnership with GRID to expand clean energy access to disadvantaged communities. Using proceeds from the state’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF)--a fund created through California's cap and trade program--we will install rooftop solar for more than 1,600 families through 2016.

Honoring SunPower, SunEdison and The State of California
In San Francisco last week, nearly 300 people came out to help us celebrate another incredible year making solar power and solar job training accessible to people who need it most. Our Interconnection event this year honored three key supporters who have not just helped us achieve our mission, but have been leaders in the clean energy transition: the State of California, SunPower Corp., and SunEdison.

Discretion Brewing "Love Monday" loves GRID Alternatives!

GRID Alternatives Central Coast wants to thank everyone who attended “Love Monday” hosted by Discretion Brewing in Santa Cruz on April 13th. Dave Garti, Outreach and Program Officer, brought food, friends, and GRID’s message about solar power access that includes everyone to participate in this unique fundraiser benefitting GRID Alternatives Central Coast. GRID received $1/beer sold throughout the day - the turnout was great and people were thirsty!

GRID Alternatives is going to Baltimore
Often referred to as “Charm City”, Baltimore is the site of GRID Alternatives’ next set of solar installations, where we hope to sprinkle a little of our charm. Through support from the Abell Foundation and partnering with the City of Baltimore Office of Sustainability and Civic Works, we will launch in Baltimore this June, bringing solar power to ten homes in the CARE Community.
