Powering Change in our Communities

GRID Alternatives Greater Los Angeles leads teams of volunteers and job trainees to install solar electric systems for income qualified families in Los Angeles, Orange and Ventura Counties, providing families with needed savings and giving area workers hands-on experience to help them find employment in the green-tech economy. Since we opened in 2007, we’ve helped over 3000 households go solar throughout the Greater Los Angeles region.
