Su sistema solar fue instalado sin costo alguno gracias al programa Disadvantaged Communities Single-Family Solar Homes (DAC-SASH), que GRID Alternatives administra para propietarios de viviendas con ingresos limitados en comunidades desfavorecidas designadas. Antes de instalarse en energ\u00eda solar, las facturas mensuales de electricidad de Pamela sol\u00edan rondar entre $200 y $300. \u201cEra aterrador\u201d, dijo. \u201cEra casi igual a la factura de mi seguro de autom\u00f3vil\u201d.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Su primer recibo tras el lanzamiento del sistema contaba una historia diferente: solo $8,24. \u201cOh, hombre, estaba tan feliz de pagar ese recibo\u201d, dijo Pamela. \u201cPens\u00e9 que era como un sue\u00f1o. Era algo que ten\u00eda que hacer hace mucho tiempo.\u201d Antes de conectarse con GRID hab\u00eda investigado la energ\u00eda solar, pero los testimonios de otras empresas planteaban dudas para su familia sobre la propiedad de su casa. \u201cMe alegr\u00f3 descubrir que no compromet\u00eda la propiedad de la casa ni nada parecido\u201d, dijo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>El 27 de junio de 2026, Pamela abri\u00f3 su casa a los vecinos y al personal de GRID Alternatives Southern California para una casa abierta construida a partir de su historia \u2014y de su factura. El equipo de Extensi\u00f3n de GRID recorri\u00f3 el vecindario a primera hora de la ma\u00f1ana, y Pamela pas\u00f3 los d\u00edas previos invitando personalmente a amigos y vecinos. Alrededor de 20 personas acudieron, muchas de ellas vecinas que conoce desde hace dos o tres d\u00e9cadas. \u201cMe llena de alegr\u00eda ver que mis vecinos tendr\u00e1n los mismos ahorros que yo\u201d, dijo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>La casa abierta ya est\u00e1 dando sus frutos: cuatro participantes ya est\u00e1n avanzando en el proceso de aprobaci\u00f3n solar de GRID. Los solicitantes conectados al evento califican para el programa de recompensas de referencia ampliado de GRID, que paga a Pamela $500 d\u00f3lares por cada referencia calificada que complete una instalaci\u00f3n hasta finales de agosto de 2026. Para Pamela, el impacto va m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de los n\u00fameros en d\u00f3lares. \u201cEs una oportunidad para expandir la mente y pensar en algo m\u00e1s que esa factura de energ\u00eda el\u00e9ctrica que ten\u00eda\u201d, dijo ella.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":11934,"template":"","project-type":[100],"region":[16],"scale":[],"class_list":["post-11933","portfolio","type-portfolio","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","project-type-residential-solar","region-southern-california"],"acf":{"location":"Long Beach, CA","deck":"<span>Pamela West's latest electric bill came to $8.24 \u2014 so she opened her home to the whole neighborhood to show them how.<\/span>","hero_image":11934,"details":[{"label":"Location","value":"Long Beach, CA","feature":true},{"label":"Region","value":"Southern California","feature":false},{"label":"Project Type","value":"Residential","feature":false},{"label":"Panels","value":"12","feature":true},{"label":"System Size","value":"4.86kW","feature":true},{"label":"Completed","value":"January 2026","feature":false},{"label":"Incentive Program","value":"DAC-SASH; SCE Charge Ready Home (CRH)","feature":false},{"label":"Annual Savings","value":"$985","feature":true},{"label":"Lifetime Savings","value":"$10,677","feature":true}],"pattern_override":"","sections":[{"acf_fc_layout":"gallery","module_spacing":"margin-spacing-large","anchor_title":"","anchor_id":"project-photos","background":"","program_palette":"","heading":"Project Photos","images":[11935,11936,11937,11938]},{"acf_fc_layout":"value_props","module_spacing":"margin-spacing-large","anchor_title":"","anchor_id":"","style":"split","layout":"image-left","background":"","program_palette":"","images":null,"image":null,"eyebrow":"","heading":"What we brought to the project","description":"","props":[{"icon":{"source":"library","icon":"assignment","image":"0"},"icon_2":null,"label":"Program Administration & Outreach","description":"GRID Alternatives Southern California's Outreach team canvassed Pamela's neighborhood and hosted an open house at her home to share the program with nearby residents.\r\n"},{"icon":{"source":"library","icon":"diversity_4","image":"0"},"icon_2":null,"label":"Tenant\/Community Engagement ","description":"Beyond Pamela's own install, GRID's outreach around the open house has moved four additional neighborhood households into the solar approval process.\r\n"},{"icon":{"source":"library","icon":"rule","image":"0"},"icon_2":null,"label":"Incentive Administration","description":"GRID administers the DAC-SASH program and guided Pamela through the application, design, and installation process at no cost to her.\r\n"}],"fine_print":""}],"project_cta":{"layout":"image-left","heading_style":"display","intro":"","heading":"","description":"","button":"","image":""},"media":null,"featured_blog_post":null,"featured_event":null,"pdf_download":null,"blockquote":null,"author":null,"notice":null,"social_embed":null,"contact_card":null,"meta_details":null,"faq":null,"table":null},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Pamela West - GRID Alternatives<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Pamela West has lived in Long Beach for 52 years.
