GRID Alternatives is a nonprofit solar installer working exclusively with income-qualified households. Since completing its first installation in 2004, its Bay Area team has brought solar to more than 1,900 local families. Its model helped shape California’s low-income solar programs, including SASH and SOMAH. GRID Alternatives also runs a workforce development program, Installation Basics Training 200, to teach individuals from underserved communities the skills and knowledge needed to pursue careers in solar and green construction careers.
