North Coast

GRID Alternatives North Coast leads teams of volunteers and job trainees to install solar electric systems for low-income families, providing families with needed savings and community members with hands-on training. Although active in the region since 2009, GRID launched a full-service North Coast Office in 2014 to better serve rural and Tribal families in this region. This was made possible thanks to a generous donation from an anonymous donor of the San Francisco Foundation. To date, we have made solar happen for over 350 families on the North Coast!
