Glenda Brown apenas hab\u00eda pensado en instalar paneles solares durante los 46 a\u00f1os que ha vivido en su casa en East Palo Alto. Todo eso cambi\u00f3 cuando su hija, Lea, que tambi\u00e9n vive en East Palo Alto, instal\u00f3 paneles solares con GRID el a\u00f1o pasado. La experiencia de Lea con GRID fue tan positiva que Glenda decidi\u00f3 postularse, reconociendo a GRID como una forma de mantener bajos sus costos.<\/p>\n

Para ambos hogares, la energ\u00eda solar es un punto positivo en unos pocos a\u00f1os dif\u00edciles. Glenda y Lea perdieron a ambos esposos en los \u00faltimos dos a\u00f1os, lo que los dej\u00f3 no solo emocionalmente destrozados sino tambi\u00e9n sin una fuente significativa de ingresos familiares. \u201cEs algo que nunca se planea\u201d, dijo Glenda al hablar de la p\u00e9rdida de la mitad o m\u00e1s de su ingreso. Afortunadamente, gracias a los paneles solares de GRID, Glenda podr\u00e1 ahorrar alrededor de $900 en costos de energ\u00eda cada a\u00f1o. Estos ahorros le permitir\u00e1n pagar todas sus facturas y no tener que preocuparse por mantener encendidas las luces, especialmente ahora que su nieta, que vive con ella, est\u00e1 esperando un beb\u00e9 en noviembre.<\/p>\n

Estas econom\u00edas ser\u00e1n especialmente \u00fatiles ahora, ya que el costo de vida en East Palo Alto sigue aumentando. Glenda, que vive en East Palo Alto desde los siete a\u00f1os de edad y en su hogar actual desde hace cuatro d\u00e9cadas, ha sido testigo de los cambios que se est\u00e1n produciendo a su alrededor, ya que el auge de la tecnolog\u00eda ha disparado los precios de la vivienda en East Palo Alto en los \u00faltimos 10 a 15 a\u00f1os. \u201cHe notado que mucha m\u00e1s gente vive bajo un mismo techo, en una misma casa\u201d, se\u00f1al\u00f3 Glenda. Est\u00e1 encantada de tener la ventaja de las econom\u00edas generadas por la energ\u00eda solar para ayudar a compensar algunos de estos desaf\u00edos. <\/p>\n

El sistema de Glenda fue posible gracias a LinkedIn y fue instalado por ellos. Con sede en Mountain View, LinkedIn y sus empleados no son desconocidos del creciente sector tecnol\u00f3gico de la regi\u00f3n y aprovecharon la oportunidad de devolverle algo a la comunidad. \u00a1Muchas gracias por su generosa ayuda, LinkedIn!<\/p>\n
