GRID Alternatives Greater Los Angeles

Los Angeles and Southern California.  If you think like we do, you think of sun, and lots of it.  So what else can we do but harness the power of the sun and use it to help local families, build communities, and protect our earth?

Since the fall of 2007, our friendly Greater Los Angeles team has installed over two hundred solar electric systems for low-income families with volunteers and job trainees.  These solar electric systems help low-income families save on their electricity bills and become more financially stable, while increasing the use of renewable energy.  We do all we can to bridge environmental and economic sustainability, and to be a center for diverse communities and sectors to come together and do some good.  There's a lot of work to be done and a lot of fun to be had - so join us.
