GRID Celebrates 10,000th Install

We recently reached a huge milestone by installing our 10,000th solar electric system in Rancho Cordova! To celebrate this huge accomplishment, supporters, dignitaries such as Mayor Linda Burge, other solar industry professionals, and media outlets joined our team along with GRID CEO Erica Mackie for a gathering at recipient Brita West's home. Over the course of setting up this installation we encountered a few barriers, but with the help of Rebuilding Together to assist Brita with a new roof, we were finally able to move  forward.

GRID IE Construction Intern Jesse Mota moved through the ranks from Private to Master Gunnery Sergeant while serving in the United States Marines before landing at GRID Alternatives. “I was stationed in Panama as an Embassy Guardian. My duties included acting as a ‘changing of the guards’ to gain confidence and develop trust with the locals,” Jesse reflected. While in the Marines, Jesse developed a broad range of skill sets that set the stage for his career in the solar industry, including his experience as a combat engineer. He was honorably discharged after 25 faithful years of service to the American people.
