On Wednesday I attended a lunchtime presentation in our Autodesk Gallery. Maura Fallon-McKnight of Grid Alternatives provided an overview of the work her organization is doing to bring solar energy to low income residents. I found out some encouraging information.
-
Grid Alternatives' Solar Affordable Housing Program allows individuals and groups to get involved in supporting their efforts to install solar panels and systems on low-income homes in the Bay Area.
-
Since 2001, Grid Alternatives has been working to bring the power of solar electricity and energy efficiency to low-income homeowners, and to provide community members with training and hands-on experience with renewable energy technologies. They believe making energy choices that are good for the environment can go hand-in-hand with improving the lives of those living in low-income communities.

Grid Alternatives has offices in the San Francisco Bay Area, Greater Los Angeles, San Diego and the Central Valley to serve communities throughout California.
