The 2021 holiday season was a bag of mixed emotions.

Imagine wanting a solar energy system for your home but finding the expense out of your reach. Lupe Flores found herself in such a predicament. Lupe is in her sixties, on a tight budget, living with a disability, providing for her grandson, and paying a mortgage.

Twin brothers Mario and Jesus “Jesse” Venegas heard about GRID Alternatives Installation Basics Training (IBT 200) program in the Central Valley from their cousin.

They just achieved the American dream of homeownership, Linda and her husband, Luis purchased a home in Porterville, California for their energetic family of six.

Juan struggled to acquire a full-time job. He would often find himself jumping from one part-time job to another and stated, “I could never get paid more than minimum wage in any job I had before, but since graduating from GRID Alternatives IBT-200 solar training in 2021, he has had four or five interviews with solar companies, and they all offered better pay.”
