Design Training Series Wrap-up!

The room was completely full as the final session of our design training series wrapped up on Tuesday December 16th. The training series included Introduction to PV Design, Structural PV Design, and Electrical PV Design. It was the first time GRID Alternatives Greater Los Angeles (GLA) held a design training for its volunteers outside of the training they receive during installs.

A Night of Appreciation

On Thursday December 11th, volunteers, board members, and staff gathered at El Cholo for our annual Volunteer Appreciation Event, hosted in honor of the individuals that make our work possible. This year, our volunteers worked over 15,000 hours to complete over 140 installations, more than any other year in GLA history.

"The Sun is For Everyone"

Thanks to everyone who came by our booth at SPI 2014 and told their GRID story! We had thousands of visitors over the three-day conference in Las Vegas, and 100+ GRID fans posted their pictures and stories to our wall. It's so inspiring to see how many lives our work touches. Here are a few of our favorites:

 

 

 

Salesforce Does it Again!
On Thursday, October 30th, volunteers from Salesforce joined GRID Alternatives of Greater Los Angeles to install a 1.72 kW solar system in Lynwood, California. The system is expected to create over $15,000 in savings for the family over the system’s lifetime and reduce carbon emissions by 47 tons. The family that received the system is truly thankful.
