Description
GRID Alternatives is a non-profit organization that brings the benefits of solar technology to low-income communities. Using a barn-raising model, GRID Alternatives leads teams of volunteers and job trainees to install solar power on qualifying homes, providing needed savings for families struggling to make ends meet while preparing workers for jobs in the fast-growing solar industry.
The North Valley regional office was established in Chico, California in 2011 and serves a 20-county region in the North State. Since opening its doors in 2011, the North Valley office has completed more than 84 solar installations in the region, saving local families over $3 million over the systems’ lifetimes and preventing nearly 10,000 tons of greenhouse gas emissions. Statewide, GRID Alternatives has installed more than 6.0 MW of solar power for over 2,200 households across California. For more information, visit www.gridalternatives.org/my-community-north-valley
