The San Fernando Community Health Center (SFCHC) recently “flipped the switch” on a $298,000 solar installation project, becoming the first building owned by the City of San Fernando that will have solar power.
This video describes how the San Fernando clean energy project became a reality, how health centers can be leaders in the clean energy transition, and why these projects can mean so much to the community.
Univision features GRID Alternatives Greater Los Angeles regional office, and its no-cost Installation Basics Training (IBT) workforce development program. Regardless of background or previous experience, GRID is committed to training the diverse solar workforce of the future, as the U.S paves the way to a world powered by renewable energy.
So far, solar panels have been installed on 175 homes in Pacoima, including the Zúñigas. The program is being led by the grassroots group Pacoima Beautiful, who in 2018 partnered with GRID Alternatives and other public and private partners (the Green Together Collaborative) and were awarded $23 million from the state (plus more than $38 million in leveraged funds).
