GRID Alternatives Inland Empire (GRID IE) is partnering with the Bishop Paiute Tribe for its first-ever Tribal Solar Demonstration Project, bringing clean energy, much needed utility cost savings, and solar job skills to families on the Paiute Reservation located near the City of Bishop.
Bill Shearer and his family didn't think they could have solar, but now they're generating clean energy from the sun and singing the praises of solar power.
A solar electric system at no cost?! Bill Shearer and his family couldnt believe it. But not too long ago, this became reality for them! Through GRID Alternatives, the Shearer family received a 6.9 kW solar system designed to lower their annual electricity bill by about 80% at no cost to them. This translates into about $64,755 saved and 219 tons of CO2 emissions reduced over the life of the system.
On February 27th GRID Alternative Inland Empire installed its 200th solar electric system in Redlands, California, reaching a total 1 MEGAWATT of solar electric power installed throughout Riverside and San Bernardino Counties!
GRID Alternatives Inland Empire held its Earth Day Installation and Open House on Friday, April 19, 2013 attracting a veritable whos who of distinguished political leaders and representatives from the California Congress, Assembly and Senate. Local elected officials from City of Jurupa Valley City Council, as well as community leaders also joined in this historic day.
On March 26th 2013, GRID Alternatives Inland Empire (GRID IE) will be in the City of Redlands and Loma Linda to solarize the homes of Alejandra Pennington and Dewi Maria Sagala, with the help of the Southern California Engineering Technology Association of California State Polytechnic University in Pomona, for GRID IEs Inaugural Alternative Spring Break Project.
