SolarCorps

AmeriCorps VISTA volunteers have helped build GRID Alternatives from a small solar start-up to a national non-profit organization serving families and job trainees across the United States.
We're joining President Obama and over 300 other companies, organizations and public agencies in making major new commitments to deploy renewable energy. In support of the Obama administration’s national renewable energy goals, we're committing to help install 100 MW of solar power on affordable single-family and multifamily homes across the country by 2024.

PG&E is a big supporter of solar energy.  This March PG&E is planning on celebrate its 100,000th rooftop solar installation!  On Thursday February 20th, a team of PG&E employee volunteers joined GRID Alternatives staff to install 17 solar panels for a local low-income family in Yuba City, CA.   “A big part of our effort here reflects the commitment we have to our community,” said Paul Moreno, a PG&E spokesperson.  “We’re supportive of renewable energy.”

Due to the continued impacts and uncertainty of COVID-19, Solar Spring Break is postponed until further notice. Read below for how students can stay involved and keep learning!
