GRID hosts Interconnection, their annual fundraiser and cel

Active and former U.S. service members across the country are joining GRID Alternatives to install solar for low-income families while learning skills to jumpstart their solar careers. The Troops to Solar initiative is supported by a 3-year, $750,000 grant from Wells Fargo.

Taylor R., a freshman at Prairie View A&M University, joined GRID NV this summer to learn more about solar from local rooftops. He shared about his experience with GRID staff: 

“I am here volunteering and installing solar panels (with GRID). I’ve enjoyed the construction aspect of it. I don’t know if other people like learning how to put stuff together, but I like it. The GRID staff have walked me through everything and taught me a lot. You really learn something (at GRID) that you can benefit from and help others at the same time.”

We recently reached a huge milestone by installing our 10,000th solar electric system in Rancho Cordova! To celebrate this huge accomplishment, supporters, dignitaries such as Mayor Linda Burge, other solar industry professionals, and media outlets joined our team along with GRID CEO Erica Mackie for a gathering at recipient Brita West's home. Over the course of setting up this installation we encountered a few barriers, but with the help of Rebuilding Together to assist Brita with a new roof, we were finally able to move  forward.
