Solar Futures

Our mission of making clean, affordable renewable energy technology and job training accessible to underserved communities everywhere is accomplished thanks to strategic partners that align with our work and values. SunPower Corporation is one such partner.

The GRID team was pleased to participate for the third year in a row in the third annual Yolo County Office of Education STEM for Girls event, a 1-day program designed to inspire girls ages 10-12 in the Yolo County school district to pursue interests in STEM fields, which include topics related to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). GRID was represented at the event by three female staff members from our Operations and Construction departments, who conducted three 45 min workshops on the exciting world of solar power.

Edison High School has partnered with GRID Alternatives for over seven years in our Solar Futures program. At GRID Alternatives Central Valley, we work with over 30 different high schools to serve our local communities. Over the past year we've piloted “in-class” solar programs, and just launched our first 20-Hour Solar Intensive Training program with Edison’s Green Academy.
