GRID has officially arrived on the East coast! After a successful pilot program in October where we installed seven PV solar systems across the Tri-State region, GRID is here to stay. Everyone from our team was truly inspired by the energy and enthusiasm brought to the project. We hope to sustain this excitement as we continue to spread solar throughout the Tri-State.

GRID Alternatives volunteer Katharine Johnston writes a guest post for the GLA blog about her volunteer experience.

On March 24th and 25th Stanford University Students joined GRID’s solar installation supervisors for two days of Solar Fun!!!

Not many can say that they volunteered their spring break week installing solar panels in the lovely city of Denver, CO. But that’s exactly what University of Central Arkansas’s Environmental Alliance Group did.

Solar puns like "you con-du-it!" abounded as University of Vermont and University of Michigan students spent their spring break with GRID Alternatives helping families go solar.

Espanola Jackson is a San Francisco Bayview resident of 46 years, community activist, grandmother to over 70 grandchildren and the proud owner of a solar powered home thanks to GRID Alternatives.

We held a big party in the heart of downtown San Francisco to celebrate the last ten years of GRID Alternatives and the partners who have helped us come this far.

California State University, Chico students joined the GRID Alternatives North Valley office at two installs in Hamilton City and Chico for their Spring Break

International work has always been part of GRID Alternatives' long-term vision of bringing solar to underserved communities.

Three branches of the U.S. Military joined forces to install a 3.4 kilowatt AC solar electric system for the King family in South Los Angeles on Friday February 21st. This project came to be through the efforts of Geoff Harjo, a U.S. Army Veteran who has served in Iraq and Afghanistan and who is currently completing a 6-month fellowship with GRID Alternatives through The Mission Continues.
