Two important partners came together to bring new light to a small corner of San Luis Obispo on August 24th, 2013 when GRID Alternatives, a non-profit organization that brings solar power to underserved communities, hosted its annual Solarthon fundraiser. Three homes being built by Habitat for Humanity of San Luis Obispo County were outfitted with solar electric systems during the event, thanks to around 50 volunteers and job trainees. When the houses are completed next month, three deserving families will move into homes crafted by the hands of volunteers and powered by the rays of the sun.
On Saturday, October 26, 2013 Bank of America and Fresno State Construction Management students joined forces and provided an opportunity for the family of Adelaida Lopez de Reyes to reap the benefits of solar on their family’s rooftop. Bank of America provided a generous grant in the amount of $5,000 supporting GRID’s continuing partnership with Lyles School of Engineering, Construction Management Program at California State University, Fresno
