Events

Even though it had been raining for two weeks straight, the sun came out for our Client “Solar-bration” Picnic, held at the River Terrace neighborhood park by the Anacostia River. GRID wanted to show our gratitude to the homeowners in the Mid-Atlantic region who helped us grow our non-profit by getting solar installed on their roofs. GRID staff, clients, neighbors, and volunteers gathered under the gazebo, enjoyed food donated by our neighborhood restaurant Shawafel, and shared their solar stories. Families and children also took part in our photo booth, coloring stations, and played Frisbee with a few of the GRID staff members in a nearby field.
Top energy policymakers, federal legislators and state and local energy experts came out in New York and Washington D.C. this week to help us celebrate the release of our new Low-Income Solar Policy Guide! Developed in partnership with Vote Solar and the Center for Social Inclusion, the guide gives a comprehensive overview of proven policies and program models for expanding access to solar power and solar jobs around the country.
Please join GRID Alternatives on March 29 at 7pm, at the New Parkway Theater in Oakland for a screening of the Emmy Award-winning documentary Chasing Ice in partnership with the New Parkway’s Doc Night series. Chasing Ice is the story of National Geographic photographer James Balog’s quest to document the Arctic’s retreating glaciers to deliver powerful evidence of climate change to our carbon-powered planet.
