Youth

For many kids across the Inland Empire, summer vacation is finally here! Tests, reading assignments, and district assessments are over and happy days reign again. For 32 at-risk high school students in Arroyo Valley High School's Cultivating Organic Recycling Environmentalists (CORE) Academy in San Bernardino, this summer is enhanced by their increased awareness about solar energy and how it can help them not only in summer’s hottest days, but in their future careers.

PG&E is a big supporter of solar energy.  This March PG&E is planning on celebrate its 100,000^th rooftop solar installation!  On Thursday February 20^th, 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.”
