There is nothing more challenging than juggling in the rain. However, the rain did not dent the spirit of 39 University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) students in the first week of January 2016 as they worked tirelessly in the rain installing two solar systems in Madera, California.

We are excited to welcome Jocelyn DeLeon to the GRID Alternatives family as our new Outreach Assistant in the Central Coast South office.

GRID volunteers return to finish the job...

My name is Karelia Tercero. This is a short story about how I became the first female solar technician for GRID Alternatives in Nicaragua.

“We just went around the world and I didn’t even leave this job site!” joked GRID’s Solar Installation Supervisor, Ron Griffin, at an install late this October. Why? Because this install hosted a remarkable group of emerging clean energy leaders from Africa, Central Asia and the Middle East in partnership with TechWomen.

On a dark and chilly Saturday morning 120 volunteers and community supporters devoted their time helping five families receive solar on their homes in Biola, California.

Ladies, get your career in solar started - with a free eight day training program hosted by GRID! This women-only program provides a positive learning space for you to gain knowledge about solar career paths, with skill building in several difference areas.

We had a beautiful day at the Martinez residence in south Sacramento last Friday and Saturday at our Sacramento Women’s build!

On a rainy evening in Sacramento, California, the waning rays from the sunset landed on a lively discussion taking place inside the warm and embracing, Shine Café. The topic of discussion was women on the rise – a conversation around encouraging the next generation of women leaders in the solar industry.
