Thanks to more than two dozen stellar panelists and keynote speakers who contributed to making our September 14 event a step forward for energy equity in L.A.!
On August 26, 2017, a diverse volunteer group including women employees from the Inter-American Development Bank’s energy division kicked off the largest solar array in Prince George’s County, Maryland for We Build.
I recently spent a day installing solar panels on the roof of a low-income housing development in a southeast neighborhood in Washington, D.C., sweating out the 90-degree heat and thinking about people who may not be able to afford to keep cool.
Thanks to the Smart Electric Power Alliance (SEPA), GRID is a big step closer to completing our 118 kW multifamily solar installation in Southeast DC. SEPA sponsored a GRID Corporate Workday, a unique day of team-building to give back to the community.
Thanks to active reaching out we did in April and May, GRID Alternatives Greater Los Angeles has a group of City Gardens residents who are especially invested in the installation. Two such residents are Juan Avalos, a City Gardens father of grown children, and his daughter Janette.
We're committed, as always, to a solar energy revolution whose benefits include everyone. That's why for the next multifamily partnership planned in the region, we intend to go one step further than the basic benefits of clean energy and ensure that residents of the multifamily housing project can be involved in installing our system!
Located in the southeast quadrant of Washington, D.C., Parkchester Apartments was not unlike some other affordable housing developments in the city. NHPF enlisted the expertise of GRID Alternatives Mid-Atlantic, an affiliate office of a national nonprofit that focused on bringing solar power and energy efficiency to underserved communities.
Throughout the month of April, participants and job trainees came together to help us install solar on the Fair Street Apartments in Norwalk, CT, marking the launch of our multifamily affordable solar program in the State of Connecticut!
On the St. Ambrose Aigburth Vail Senior Community’s rooftop in Towson last week, yet another great partnership was at work. It was there that Maryland Democratic Rep. John Sarbanes, Constellation solar volunteers and GRID Alternatives Mid-Atlantic solar trainees gathered to outfit the building with a sustainable supply of energy.
Thanks to solar, 94 tenants living in the Parkchester Apartments in Southeast D.C. will soon have fully renovated units, new energy efficient appliances, and a new community space. These renovations are possible because of a new 118 kW solar system.
