Welcome to the final part of our IBT 200 series. Let’s discuss how IBT 200 winds down and the opportunities that come post-graduation.

GRID IE is pleased to announce its first solar + storage installations in the Inland Empire, in partnership with the Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Indians and Enphase and with funding from the Rose Foundation.

Earlier in the year, Rey discovered GRID IE’s program in a booklet from his city, which featured summer events and resources. “Lots of people probably feel suspicious about free solar panels, but I did my research.

Spring is near, and we’ve got fresh insight—just for you. Last month, you met our IBT 200 graduates and learned about how they arrived at GRID IE.

In December 2023, we discussed what IBT 200 is. In this month's continuation of IBT 200 content, let’s dive into who the training is for. 

GRID Alternatives is excited to announce that 2024 officially marks our 20th Anniversary! That means two decades of providing community-centered clean energy solutions to environmental and economic justice communities through collaboration, partnerships, advocacy, and innovation.

During the week before Thanksgiving 2023, Wells Fargo and GRID IE collaborated in two successful Team-Building Sponsored Volunteer Workdays in the Inland Empire—with an installation at the Farrar family home in Ontario and a second at the Nguyen family home in Moreno Valley.

We are proud to announce that the winner is Hasaan Piert, a student from Martin Luther King High School, Riverside, CA.

Due to the high interest in our new Installation Basics Training 200 program here in the Inland Empire, we’re launching a short series of stories in our newsletter to answer the most popular questions. We'll also cover the challenges and opportunities of IBT 200 and get first-hand recounts from our first class of graduates!

GRID has donated two level 2 EV chargers - which were provided to GRID IE by the Honda Foundation, via GRID GLA as part of our ongoing partnership.
