This is the latest in a series of regular profiles introducing the GRID Alternatives Greater Los Angeles staff.

We recognized some special award recipients who were onhand: Juan Campos is our Student of the Year. Isaiah Alvarez is our Trainee of the Year.

Of course, all the Galaxy's efforts along these avenues align perfectly with our work helping Carson go green.

We're committed to people like the low-income residents of Long Beach, and they'll be an important part of the transition we lead across the Southland's energy landscape.

"The amount of money this frees up for low-income families adds up to millions of dollars, and we're proud to be making Long Beach a stronger community in so many ways."

Now, we're building the foundation for a strong 2018 by announcing that our end-of-year fundraising campaign focuses on a pair of internships that will offer the potential for dramatic change to two returning citizens like David.

Michael Kadish became the inaugural recipient of LG's Solar Community Champion title, and accepted his award on behalf of the GRID Alternatives Greater Los Angeles organization during a televised appearance at half-court.

Solarthon is GRID Alternatives’ flagship community installation event, bringing together people from all walks of life – including individual volunteers, corporate sponsors, and community leaders – and with the completion of this achievement low-income residents of Los Angeless will benefit from over $200,000 in lifetime savings.

Solarthon kicked off at this start of this weekend with two great installs, perfectly highlighting the diverse cross-section of Los Angeles brought together in the name of solar.

Congratulations to our friends Adriana Lodolo and Camilo Barria, aka Black Animals of Miami, for winning People's Choice as well as their shortlist category at ADCAN 2017!
