We also work with nonprofits like Habitat for Humanity to install solar electric systems on new homes – in these cases the homeowners do not apply to our program directly, but receive the program directly from the nonprofit building their home. Please contact us or visit our partners page if you work with a housing developer building affordable for-sale homes and would like more information about partnering with GRID Alternatives.
