GRID Alternatives Mid-Atlantic has received Washington, D.C.’s 2016 District Sustainability Award from D.C.’s Department of Energy and the Environment (DOEE), in recognition of GRID’s achievements advancing sustainability and solar energy in the District.
How does a person who has spent 26 years in prison, lacks a high school degree, and has little job experience, become a highly-paid solar installation supervisor in three years?
If you know of someone looking for a job, or specifically a career in solar, the free Solar Job Fair happening in D.C. on November 17 is an excellent start.
Nicole Steele from GRID Alternatives, Jon Rosa from Fuel Fund of Maryland, and Mirrel Simms the solar homeowner joined Environment Maryland as they released their report Shining Rewards at a home solar installation done by GRID Alternatives, a non-profit working to make solar practical and accessible for low income communities.
Local veteran Brian Haas celebrated the installation of a rooftop solar system on his new home that will save him and his wife $1,000 each year on their electricity bills. The work was done last Wednesday, September 21 by local volunteers and veteran job trainees led by GRID Alternatives Mid-Atlantic.
