"Thank you, GRID Alternatives...for making our solar dream come true!"

Erica Court, a normally quiet cul-de-sac in Oceano, CA was bursting with solar energy Saturday October 20th as more than 150 volunteers—individual sponsors, corporate teams, job trainees and the homeowners themselves—get up on roofs to install solar electric systems for eight low-income families during the GRID Alternatives Central Coast Solarthon.

On a sunny Saturday morning in February, employee volunteers from San Francisco-based solar financing and software company, Clean Power Finance, gathered at the home of a low-income family in Richmond. The volunteers came from a variety of different teams, ranging from brand new employees to a Senior Vice President. But all had come together on their day off to install a solar system through GRID Alternatives’ corporate sponsored workday program for a family who could never otherwise have afforded it.

As a single mom of three and a proud grandmother, Kareen Hunter believes strongly in family and in preserving the world for our children. That's why she went solar with GRID Alternatives.

Courtney Dittmar was thrilled the day she took home her orange Team Leader shirt. For months she had been commuting by bus, train, bike and foot to get to installs in Richmond, Oakland and San Francisco from her home in Mountain View, and she finally had something to show for it.

On a hot day in August, a crew of solar installers from Real Goods Solar pulled into a dusty driveway on the La Jolla Indian reservation on the rural northeastern edge of San Diego County, nearly two hours from San Diego. Doris Magante and her flock of grandchildren and great-grandchildren were waiting for them.
