Jump start your career in solar at GRID Alternatives' Solar Industry Job Fair in Los Angeles, Thurs. Feb. 26th

On Monday December 15th, Congresswoman Judy Chu visited a GRID Alternatives Greater Los Angeles (GLA) solar electric installation in Pasadena, California. At the event, the Congresswoman presented GLA with a Certificate of Congressional Recognition for their extraordinary service to the community.

On Thursday December 11th, volunteers, board members, and staff gathered at El Cholo for our annual Volunteer Appreciation Event, hosted in honor of the individuals that make our work possible. This year, our volunteers worked over 15,000 hours to complete over 140 installations, more than any other year in GLA history.

If you stopped by GRID Alternatives Greater Los Angeles this year, you probably saw someone working diligently behind a desk when you first came in to the office. Vivi Fuentes, who has been working this year as our Project Fellow, has been sitting behind that desk, designing solar electric systems and pulling permits for our installations. Vivi’s journey with GLA has been an exciting one so far, read on to see how she went from being a volunteer to a full-time designer.
