News : Solarthon comes to San Francisco, Sept 10th, get involved now!

Solarthon season is here! We are getting really excited about our upcoming Solarthon block party and fundraiser in San Francisco on September 10th from 8:30 - 4:30 pm. GRID Alternatives Bay Area will lead individual participants and corporate work crews to install solar power systems for more than 12 low-income families in one neighborhood, all in one day!

This is our largest Bay Area celebration and fundraiser of the year. It is a great opportunity to raise money and awareness for solar power, network with solar enthusiasts and professionals, and provide long-term energy savings to the community-- all while aiding the fight against global warming!

This year we have some really exciting prizes for our top fundraisers! Such as a new road bike, solar chargers, lots of outdoor gear and awesome gift certificates!

Come join us to help those most in need. Together we’ll reenergize communities one rooftop at a time! Become an individual fundraiser-participant: sign-up now here.

If you have any questions, contact our Bay Area Solarthon team at: (510) 731-1301 or solarthonba@gridalternatives.org for more information. Please note that limited spots are available, and registration is on a first come, first served basis.

Keep on shining, Bay Area!
