This Earth Month, we’re highlighting an Earth Hero on the GRID Mid-Atlantic staff: TaJuan Peach. Peach, as most people call him, is a graduate of the Spring 2020 cohort of Solar Works DC and has been installing solar for GRID Mid-Atlantic for about a year now. 

GRID is happy to share some exciting new additions to our Installation Basics Training (IBT) program offers. We’re now starting to incorporate lessons on battery storage and electric vehicle charging infrastructure installation!
