Aunque estaba justificada en estar cansada a las 6:45 de la ma\u00f1ana, el primer d\u00eda del evento de instalaci\u00f3n, era f\u00e1cil leer las emociones de la se\u00f1ora Riley: estaba tremendamente emocionada y ansiosa por empezar a abastecer a su hogar con la electricidad limpia y renovable del sol que se generar\u00eda a trav\u00e9s del sistema solar de 29 kW ubicado en la ya existente Granja Solar de Grand Valley Power en Grand Junction, Colorado. Dorothy se inscribi\u00f3 inmediatamente en el programa de energ\u00eda solar comunitaria en el momento en que escuch\u00f3 hablar de este proyecto en el noticiero local a las 5:00 de la ma\u00f1ana. \u2019No podr\u00eda estar m\u00e1s agradecida de haber podido participar\u201c. No podr\u00eda estar m\u00e1s humilde y tiene previsto pagar sus tarjetas de cr\u00e9dito con los ahorros en la factura de energ\u00eda que le proporcionar\u00e1 su suscripci\u00f3n a la energ\u00eda solar. \u00a1Su parte de este sistema de energ\u00eda solar comunitaria compensar\u00e1 casi el 90% de su consumo de energ\u00eda!<\/p>\n<p>Los clientes que participan en el programa piloto de comunidades (o de paneles solares compartidos) de GRID trabajan directamente con nuestro equipo de divulgaci\u00f3n para determinar sus calificaciones, incluyendo un requisito m\u00e1ximo de ingresos y la capacidad de \u2018adquirir\u2019 sus sistemas a trav\u00e9s de un proceso de \u2018Sweat Equity\u2019. La Sra. Riley decidi\u00f3 ofrecerse como voluntaria en el evento Solarthon de GRID Colorado, en el que se instalaron 112 m\u00f3dulos solares durante un periodo de dos d\u00edas (para ver fotos, consulte nuestro art\u00edculo). <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/gridalternatives\/collections\/72157636441154075\/\">\u00c1lbum FLICKR<\/a>). <\/p>\n<p>El sistema de energ\u00eda solar de la comunidad de Grand Valley ya est\u00e1 en funcionamiento\u2026 cada d\u00eda, los 112 m\u00f3dulos solares y microinversores est\u00e1n generando energ\u00eda el\u00e9ctrica solar utilizable, limpia y renovable. Las ocho familias que calificaron para este proyecto de energ\u00eda solar comunitaria est\u00e1n recibiendo ahora los beneficios financieros y ambientales del uso de la energ\u00eda solar y se han convertido en activistas en pro de la energ\u00eda solar. GRID Alternatives continuar\u00e1 trabajando para aumentar el acceso a las tecnolog\u00edas de energ\u00eda renovable aqu\u00ed en Colorado, en todo el pa\u00eds e incluso internacionalmente.<\/p>\n<p>Brilla<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dorothy Riley, one of 8 Mesa County residents subscribed to GRID&#8217;s first-ever community solar array is
