GRID Alternatives welcomes Yingli Solar and SunPower Corporation as its 2012 Official Solar Module Providers.

GRID Alternatives aims to install up to 7,000 solar electric systems on the roofs of qualified low-income families through 2016.

Lawrence Jackson, an eighty year-old resident of San Francisco's Bayview/Hunter's Point, went from being a GRID Alternatives client to being a GRID Alternatives volunteer working on his neighbors' homes.

GRID Alternatives works with dozens of workforce development organizations throughout California to help job trainees enter the green economy and gain critical hands-on experience in solar installation.
