Bay Area Partners

We rely on partnerships with local nonprofit organizations and government agencies to bring our Single-Family Affordable Solar Homes (SASH) to the low-income families who need it most. We welcome new partners to help us bring the power of renewable energy to more communities in need.

Affordable Housing Developers – If you are building for-sale, single-family homes for households earning under 80% AMI, you may be able to incorporate solar power at no or little extra cost. Please contact us directly for more information about participating in this program.

Local Cities and Counties – We work with local communities throughout California to bring SASH to low-income homeowners. For information on what you can do to work towards bringing this program to your community, please contact us.

Job Training Programs – If you are a job training organization interested in partnering with GRID Alternatives, please contact us.
